 * [4 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-trying-to-use-theme-export-zip-2/#post-18787310)
 * Hello. Since I didn’t get any suggestions offered yet, I tried to do a little
   investigating on my own. Using FileZilla, I took the time go through the list
   and confirmed that all the files and directories that are listed in the debug
   log for the ZipArchive error DO EXIST. I even carefully checked the spelling 
   of each one. So if none of them are missing, why is it reporting that one doesn’t?
 * The only thing I question in the file directorie addresses is ‘/home’ at the 
   beginning. The word REMOVED is the name of the user name I use for the login 
   and ‘public_html’ is the name of the main directory. So where is ‘/home’ comming
   from?
 * Further investigating… If I want to do any additional investigating, Do I have
   to open each of the files and check the line that is referenced to be sure that
   the directory address there matches?
   Example, on the line below, I’m assuming
   the #16 at the end is referencing a line number in the php file. So must I open
   the php file and look at the code on line 16? Should that have the same file &
   directory address?
 * 13 /home/REMOVED*/public_html/wp-blog-header.php(16): wp()
   *I removed the actual
   name.
 * Theme changes – Maybe this information will be helpful…
   I have not made any changes
   to my theme (such as updating or adding templates). However as I was checking
   the files with FileZilla, I noticed the dates on many of the theme files had 
   a recent date (1/6/26). For example ALL the php files in the folder: <../wp-content/
   plugins/create-block-theme/includes/create-theme/> have the date of 1/6/26. Looking
   at the dates of some images I added recently, 1/6 was the first day in almost
   three months that I logged in to add new content. And on that day I had to update
   nearly all of plugins (I have 21), and CBT (Create Block Theme) was one of them.
   I remember because I held that one off until last to update because I was hesitent
   to update it.
 * Looking over the CBT changelog (v2.8.0) I noticed two items that might be related
   to directories:
   a) Save All Patterns (#790)b) Added filters for changing paths(
   assuming this is ‘file’ paths)
 * Folder plugin… I’m using two folder directory plugins, one for media called ‘
   Media Library Organizer’ (by themeisle) and one for pages called ‘Wicked Folders’(
   by Wicked Plugins). I’ve used them from the beginning, but looking at the details
   page, those also show they’ve been updated in the past month. Because they are
   sorting my files, and I use a lot of images, I did not want to attempt to disable
   them.
 * I’m trying to investigate this on my own, so I’m looking everywhere that I can
   think of. But I don’t know where to go from here.
 * Thanks…JEB

   made them – I just moved them to a different folder). The last Theme Zip backup
   I made was just THREE MONTHS ago (10/26/25).

   the Admin early message was with a different plugin. Can you change this title
   so it’s not confusing? Maybe list it as ‘Depreciated String”?

 * Hi Threadi, thanks again for taking the time to help.
 * First, I’m using a custom theme I created myself (the purpose of the plugin).
   It allows you to create a theme from scratch.
   Second, I get the error no matter
   what template I open. When I go into the templates panel, I don’t have the backup
   option until I choose a template. The left column shows two template options 
   to choose from: ‘All templates’ or my custom theme template (called ‘blocktest’).
   I usually click blocktest since I only need to backup the templates I’m using,
   But I get the error no matter which of the two I choose. The ‘Export Zip’ icon
   isn’t available until you click the ‘wrench’ icon at the top right. Clicking 
   the wrench gives you the Create Block Theme options. The Export Zip icon is at
   the bottom of the first group of options.
 * NOTE: I thought this was important to mention. I thought I was running regular
   zip backups along with the regular WP Export (in ‘Tools’) and sql database backups.
   But when I look in the backup folders, the last one that contains a blocktest
   zip file is July 2024 (shortly after I began using the new WordPress site). So
   it’s possible the issue started a while ago but didn’t investigate it. Since 
   I haven’t change anything with the theme since then, so I probably didn’t think
   a new zip backup was that important.
 * Thanks for the_ [Create Block Theme] Support_ page link. I’ll begin posting there
   and reference this thread.
 * Cordially…JEB

 * Hello, I added the code to enable the debug log file. If I’m reading it correctly,
   the error for the Archive Zip says “No such file or directory”. See below:
 * [12-Jan-2026 22:00:25 UTC] PHP Warning: ZipArchive::addFile(): No such file or
   directory in /home/bradyje/public_html/wp-content/plugins/create-block-theme/

   PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: parse_url(): Argument #1 ($url) must be 
   of type string, array given in /home/REMOVED*/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.
   php:1161Stack trace:Then it lists 16 different files and their directories. I
   assume these are the files it should be backing up.*NOTE: I removed the actual
   directory name.
 * I have NOT made any changes to my directory. But I did update the plugin recently(
   v2.8.0). It never fails! I always try to make a copy of the plugin updates before
   I make them. But I hadn’t update the site for a while and almost all of them 
   needed updated. So I didn’t make screenshots this time.
 * Normally my next step would be to contact the plugin’s author, but i’s a WP.org
   plugin, so this is the only place i can to to for assistance.
 * Here is a link to the plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/create-block-theme](https://wordpress.org/plugins/create-block-theme)

 * Thanks for the suggestion.
 * I contacted my host and they confirmed that I already had the zip archive extension
   I needed (that Google AI said I needed), so I didn’t need the additional archive
   extension I was tring to install. They also recommended increasing some php settings,
   but after I did so, they didn’t resolve it.
 * So next, I’m going to run the DEBUGGING you suggested to see it will pinpint 
   the error. But I but wanted to run the steps by you that I did before I uploaded
   the new file. Here’s what I did:
   1) I downloaded the wp-config.php file (using
   FileZilla);2) Opened wp-config.php (with Sublime);3) Copied over the four sets
   of debugging code into wp-config.php;4) Saved the updated file with a new name(
   wp-config-updated.php).
 * I assume the next steps should be (PLEASE CONFIRM THESE):
   5) Upload the new file(
   wp-config-updated.php);6) Delete the original file (wp-config.php);7) Rename 
   the updated file with the original name (wp-config-updated.php to > wp-config.
   php);8) Take a deep breath! Then open a webpage (and hope it loads).9) Look for
   the debug.log file in wp-content directory/folder.
 * Question: 
   a) Do I have to do anything special to get the log to start running?
   Such as log out and back in?b) I’m worred about breaking something. Since I can’t
   back everything up, I want to confirm that if the updated file causes a problem(
   breaks something that causes a page not to open), that I can fix it by coping
   the original file back over?

 * Hello and thanks for the suggestions.
 * Corrinarusso – I’m using a custom theme I created myself using the _‘Create Block
   Theme’_ plugin.
 * Threadi – 
   1) I did check the LIST of PHP extensions. As I stated in my original
   posted, this was the only extension related to ZIP. It also had a description
   that seemed to fit what I was looking for (Zip file archiving management class).
 * 2) EXPORT ZIP – Yes, the EXPORT ZIP is for the THEME. To access it, I click >
   Appearance > Editor > Templates. Next, click the theme you want to backup, then
   click a template. When it opens, click the wrench (top right). The Export Zip
   in in the list of options.
 * I’ve only been using WP (WordPress) for a little over 2 years, and that option
   has always been there. I started with WP right before the Blocks feature came
   out (v6.0?) and I switch over to it right away. So block themes is all I’ve known(
   I wanted to work with a blank worksheet to create my own theme). Since I started
   out with the custom BLOCK theme, I always thought the theme’s Export Zip option
   was a WP feature. But maybe it’s specific to the Create Block Theme plugin.
 * Turning off plugins – Since I’m using a custom theme, I was always very leary
   of turning plugins off and on. Especially with the theme. So I’d rather not try
   that. I use an accordion plugin that’s especially finisky. That really screwed
   things up once when I turned it off. It took the author quite a while to fix,
   so I’m sure you can understand my reluctance.
 * Hopefully the theme plugin information will give you more to go on.

   the user name. As I noted, I just replaced the actual name with the x’s (I didn’t
   want it shown).

 * To codersajjad… I just thought I’d post here to let you know that I sent an email
   the other day with temporary access credentials. I also emailed again today with
   some background information that I thought might be helpful in the diagnosis (
   when I first uploaded the site, when I found the issue, and what updates have
   been installed in that time period).
 * To refresh (in case anyone else is reviewing these posts), the page freezing 
   only happens when Advanced Accordion Block (AAB) is ENABLED. If I disable it,
   the page will load, but I can’t edit the information. Most of the accordions 
   are in PATTERNS, some synced, some not.
 * I first noticed the issue on 7/19. This was the first I tried to make changes
   to the site after uploading it about a month prior on 6/24. Investigating updates,
   I found that since the initial upload there were FIVE WP updates. There were 
   also a few plugin updates during that same period, but not AAB. One of the WP
   updates is called “6.6 Dorsey” released on 7/16 (so I would have updated it, 
   or if a background update, it would have been activated on or just before 7/19).
 * Reviewing the information for v6.6 Dorsey, it appears there were quite a few 
   changes, with the release page stating: _“This version helps you do more with
   ease, putting enhanced tools at your fingertips and giving you unprecedented 
   power behind the scenes.”_ It says one of those enhancements was to SYNCED PATTERNS.
   So I wonder, since my accordions are in synced patterns, might this be where 
   the conflict lies?

 * Thanks all for the help. As I stated, I did find the BSR plugin. I just wanted
   to be sure that was the right way to go or if there was a better option. Everything
   else is working fine, it seems to be just the fonts that are still being called
   for from localhost. I only have TWO fonts and I do have them installed in the
   correct folder. I was just hoping there might be a more direct way to fix just
   that issue.
 * I’ll install BSR and take a look at it.

 * Hello. Sorry for taking a while to get back to this.
 * First to update on having the issue on a single vs multiple pcs. As the issue
   was originally, now the pages freeze on BOTH of my pcs. When the issue first 
   started the pages would freeze no matter which pc I used. Then a few weeks ago,
   for some reason I was able to edit them again on my laptop. But now they won’t
   open on either pc’s again. So this is telling me it’s not a chrome settings issue.
 * Plugins… As you last suggested I tried deactiving the plugins (just as I did 
   when it was suggested the first time). I deactivated them one at a time and tried
   to edit a page. I also tried deactivating similar groups (those related to images).
   But as before, it didn’t make a difference. Then I deactivated all of them, as
   well as switching themes. Nothing fixed the issue.
 * I have a total of 16 active plugins, but most are for background stuff, (yoast
   SEO, folder & image sorting, caching, imagick engine, etc). The only plugins 
   used in the webpages are Advanced Accordian block and three used for the lightbox
   sliders (Metaslider, Metaslider Lightbox, Easy FancyBox). That’s it. I used the
   least amount of plugins to avoid conflicts and I tested the site well locally
   before I uploaded it.
 * Chrome console…As I mentioned in the very first post the Advanced Accordian block
   plugin seems to be what is causing the issue. I had some trouble getting it to
   open (because of the freezing), but I was finally able to open the Chrome INSPECT
   panel. When I open the CONSOLE tab, it shows block validation errors for the 
   accordian block (the ONLY errors shown for the page). And again, that’s when 
   I try to EDIT the page. The accordians are working fine in the webpages themselves.
   It’s only when I try to edit the pages that they freeze.
 * Most of the accordians in are SYNCED PATTERNS. And now when I go to the Patterns
   through the Block Editor all the Patterns have reload errors. I had this once
   before when I first used the accordian (many months ago) and when I tried to 
   reload it, it failed and I had to rebuld the accordian again. So since the webpages
   are working OK, I didn’t try to edit any of them this time.
 * I’m trying to figure it out on my own, but not having much luck. So I need someone
   to put more time into figuring this out. I’m not using many plugins.
 * Chrome settings… I tried resetting Chrome back to it’s default on my shop pc,
   but it didn’t help. I also added my website and the two wordpress sites to the
   safe list. Also didn’t help.
 * Sooo, I’m STUCK right now. I can’t update any of my pages, and I can’t find any
   solutions. I need better suggestions that simply disabling plugins. WordPress
   was suppose to be easy to use. After just two months in, it’s doesn’t seem to
   be panning out that way.
 * Thanks…John

 * Hello. Neither of your suggestions helped (changing theme and deactivating advanced
   accordion plugin). I tried deactivating the plugin before and it didn’t help.
   I also deleted my browser cache before attempting to reload the pages. But it
   didn’t help. I tried opening several pages and each one freezes–INCLUDING WordPress
   panel. I have to reload the dashboard to get back in.
 * It appears everything loads except the accordions. I say ‘appears’ because when
   it freezes, I can’t scroll down to see the rest of the page (I took a screenshot
   but there’s no way to post it).
 * As I stated in my other post, I can edit the patterns that contain the group 
   accordions. It’s just the pages that won’t load. It is possible it’s being caused
   by WordPress? This was the first I accessed the dashboard since the 6.6 and 6.61
   updates.
 * They way it is now, I can load any pages with the accordions.
 * Thanks…John
