 * Hello,
 * I’m getting an error that stops this plugin from being installed “The plugin 
   does not have a valid header”. I can see the assign-user-files folder exists 
   in my WP plugins folder with user-files folder below it, but it won’t activate
   and does not appear in my Plugins list within WP. I manually deleted the folder
   to force WP to consider the plugin uninstalled.
 * I’m running a local development install (WP is in C:\easyphp\www\wordpress) so
   maybe that’s the pathing problem and this plugin will only work on a web host?
 * I’ve got about 10 other plugins installed and this is the first time I’ve hit
   this though so if there’s anything you can do to address it on your next update
   that would be much appreciated as it sounds like exactly the functionality I’ve
   been looking for!
 * Thanks!
