 * I just tried installing on my wp 3.5 (thesis theme) and I got this error:
    The
   package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find 
   End of Central Dir Record signature
 * Help please!

 * Google and the WordPress forums are your friend. A quick search for this error
   message in both of these places shows that this is usually indicative that you’ve
   run out of (or are very close to the limit of) your hosting space – there may
   not be enough free space to unpack the plugin’s ZIP file before moving it into
   place. Check your current hosting space capacity (via CPanel or your equivalent)
   or from the shell (if you have access) via the `df` command.

 * Not heard back from you in over 2 weeks so I’m making the assumption that you’ve
   fixed this. I’m marking this as resolved; feel free to reopen if the problem 
   hasn’t gone away.
