Wordpress theme upload error PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT

问题:

I'm new to php as well as wordpress however because of some need I had to work with wordpress only. So just to start I read a tutorial and created a wordpress theme of my own and when I tried to upload my theme I got the below error:

The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Searching for the same I've found that usually the cause of such an error is maximum available space or upload file size issue. However since I'm working on localhost I don't think it could be the case. Moreover I've increased the upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and memory_limit as well. But still I'm getting the same error.

I'm using Wordpress 3.5.2.

This error due to you are trying to upload Other than ZIP Compressed version. Other format is not supported while uploading the plugin in wordpress.

You should unzip your plugin and make sure you compress with ZIP format and upload it will be working fine.

One of simple alternative is to download theme package, upzip it and upload through FTP whole theme folder into

/wp-content/themes

Then go to Admin CP and switch to new installed theme.

I had this problem while trying to install Wordpress plugin from the Wordpress interface. Turns out the disk space quota was full for that specific account. I went to WHM manager and increased the quota and the problem was solved.

I had a similar problem when I was installing plugins for a theme. It appeared that in the meantime plugins' download url had changed, updating it solved the problem :)



回答6:

I found one more case which may help you.

It throws the same error if the zip file is incomplete or corrupt.



回答7:

This is because you are uploading the theme as a ".rar" file.

Convert the theme into ".zip" file and then upload it to your site.

For converting into the ".zip":

  1. Right-click on the folder of your theme folder.

  2. Select "Send to".

  3. Click on "Compressed (zipped) folder".

  4. Upload ".zip" file to your WordPress site.
