    hey guys,

    i currently finished developing a theme and i want it to upload it here in wordpress.org so other may take a look and test it but i had hard time uploading it. after i click the upload it keep saying this

    Only zip files are supported. We've had reports that Firefox will sometimes report zip files as generic binary files (which we don't allow). Try uploading your zip file with Safari or Opera.

    even if i used safari and opera in uploading. pls tell me what to do to upload my piece. tnx

    How are you creating your zip file?

    Sounds like it doesn't like your zip file, try making it with a different app. I like 7-Zip.

    Well if you have created your zip file with more than one app and had it rejected, it must be browser issue

    Maybe try Google Chrome? That uses Webkit, same as Safari, but is still different enough that you might get different results. And if you haven't done so already, I'd give IE a shot too, it can't hurt!

    No problem, it's good to see more choices in the Theme Directory! I still haven't found the time to create my first theme...
