I can’t get the Zip file after downloading the theme/plugin

To install a theme/plugin in the WordPress, you need to upload a Zip file. However if you have downloaded the Zip file from a Safari browser in a Mac, then the browser automatically unzips the file before storing it in your local drive which then cannot be installed in the WordPress. So, what you need to do to avoid the automatic unzipping of the file is:

  1. Goto : Safari->Preferences from the main menu of the Safari browser.
  2. And check against the option Open “safe” files for downloading.
  3. Now you can re-download the Zip file.

And alternative way can be compressing back the unzipped file with the applications like WinRaR, iZip etc.
