 * Tried updating through my WP update option get this error:
 * > Downloading update from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/another-wordpress-classifieds-plugin.zip…](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/another-wordpress-classifieds-plugin.zip…)
   > Unpacking the update…
   > Could not copy file. C:/xampp/htdocs/sites/woodbridgemoms.com/wp-content/upgrade/
   > another-wordpress-classifieds-plugin.tmp/another-wordpress-classifieds-plugin/*.
   > php
 * Then I tried downloading straight from here rather than upgrading through my 
   WP site… getting this error when unzipping.

 * Hi reddtessa,
 * Let me ask my developer about that strange file name. I see that in the package,
   I thought it was some new mechanism to use for WordPress. Seems to work OK for
   UNIX systems, but apparently not so much for Windows.

 * OK, looks like that was a glitch on the upload. Here’s how you can fix it manually
   until the next update:
 * – Delete your current install of the plugin
    – Take the one you manually downloaded,
   open up the ZIP file – Remove the *.php file (don’t remove ALL files!) at the
   root of the plugin directory – Close the ZIP – Install your updated ZIP manually
 * That should fix it.

 * Thanks, before I tried removing it I went ahead and tried another upgrade through
   my wp admin and it worked so you ironed it out. 🙂

 * Glad it’s all worked out. I did delete it from the repo to avoid further issues.
