 * I am unable to load a .zip theme file to my WordPress site. I have tried the 
   basic trouble shooting & every time I try to upload the .zip file I get a message
   that says, “Are you sure you want to do that?” with a hyperlink that says, “Please
   try again.” Why am I receiving this WordPress error when trying to upload a simple.
   zip theme file?

 * Make sure the zip file you are uploading is actually a properly structure theme
   zip file. I.e. isn’t a zip file that includes the theme folder along with lots
   of other things like psd file etc.
 * Maybe try uploading the theme via an FTP client. See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes)
