 * I’ve been having problems uploading .zip folders since I switched host companies.
   I thought this plugin would be the answer. I was surprised .zip was not a default

 * Add your custom file types
    Description (*) Zip Archive
 * File Extension (*)
    .zip
 * Mime Type (*)
    application/zip
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-zip%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
