 * I’m trying to install the Simple Press plugin – it uploads ok but when I try 
   to activate it, it gives the error message “The plugin does not have a valid 
   header.”
 * Suggestions? Fixes? Alternatives that aren’t bbPress?

 * Simple press must be uploaded manually via FTP, or else you’ll get errors about
   the header not been found.
