 * Dear Support,
 * Please, when installing your plugin, bbPress – Mark as Read, I get the message:
 * “This plugin does not have a valid header”
 * Regards,

 * I was able to install the files successfully.
    But, my question is to prevent
   the message (“This plugin does not have a valid header”) from occurring in subsequent
   installations

 * That error typically happens when some of the installation files were missed 
   or corrupted during download / upload.
