I have just tried this plugin (because it looks perfect for my needs) but I had this error message: * ‘Windows cannot open the folder. The Compressed (zipped) Folder ‘dmlcredible- ink201504091027.zip’ is invalid.’ * Any idea what can be done to fix this? * thanks – Mark * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-media-library/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-media-library/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [marcelotorres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelotorres/) * (@marcelotorres) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996226) * Hello Mark, what options you chose to generate the .zip? And which version of your WordPress? * Thread Starter [markmapstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmapstone/) * (@markmapstone) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996227) * Hi. I have the latest WP version, and I ticked to download gifs only; and when that gave me an error, I ticked gifs and jpegs only: same error. * Plugin Author [marcelotorres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelotorres/) * (@marcelotorres) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996231) * Selected the Post Types, or only Mime Types? * Thread Starter [markmapstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmapstone/) * (@markmapstone) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996232) * Only Mime types * Plugin Author [marcelotorres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelotorres/) * (@marcelotorres) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996233) * Ok, I will check this problem and correct. * Thank you for feedback 😉 * Thread Starter [markmapstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmapstone/) * (@markmapstone) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996234) * Ok great.

I’ve just got it to work. * My first attempt was on a WP network install (new site), and I ‘updated’ the already installed plugin = fail. * I’ve now added the (brand new) plugin to my existing live site (not a network install) and it worked. * 🙂 * Thread Starter [markmapstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markmapstone/) * (@markmapstone) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996427) * A feature request: to keep the existing folder structure. I can see why you’ve created it the way you have, and that’s really good for people looking to have a better naming convention for their files, however, maybe a tick-box to keep structure ‘as is’ would be a nice addition. * Thanks. * Plugin Author [marcelotorres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelotorres/) * (@marcelotorres) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996482) * Hi Mark, that’s good 🙂 * That your suggestion is interesting, I will study it for the next versions. * Thanks Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Zip file invalid’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/download-media-library_f4f4f4.svg) * [Download Media Library](https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-media-library/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-media-library/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-media-library/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-media-library/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-media-library/reviews/) ## Tags * [zip](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/zip/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [marcelotorres](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelotorres/) * Last activity: [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zip-file-invalid/#post-5996482) * Status: resolved
