When I downloaded the file – my mac automatically unzipped the files so I click on “add plugin” to select the zip file – there isn’t a zip file to upload. it is already unpacked….
Hi,
Simply right click on the folder then click compress from dropdown to rezip that folder.
Thanks
I downloaded the zip file but when I sent to upload it to my wordpress, nothing happens when I click on the upload plugin button. I’m using Windows 10. I tried it in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.
