 * When you enable the plugin you get a “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
   error.
 * This was the latest release version through wordpress plugin directory.

 * Found a fix, you can enable the plugin through the plugin list in your plugin
   installed list.
 * I was trying to enable it through the apps directory list after searching for
   it.
 * So consider it a small bug, but a fix for sure!!

 * Hrm, sounds strange. Are the following the steps to reproduce?
    1. Go to Plugins page on my WordPress site
    2. Click “Add New”
    3. Search for “Edit Flow”
    4. Click “Install”
    5. Click “Activate” after installation
