Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You can’t upload this folder directly to WordPress. Solution: Open **Safari Preferences** and disable the option **”Open safe files after downloading”**. After that the ZIP file remains as you need it. Details are shown in the video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube. ### More questions **I have more questions.
