    The Issue

    You may run into the following issue if you are using a MAC:

    I am using a MAC computer and when I download files they are not .zip anymore. The zip files automatically get unzipped in my mac when I download them. So how do I install the WordPress plugin without the .zip file?

    The Solution

    Do the following so your zip files don’t open automatically after you download them:

    1) Go into Safari Preferences.

    2) Page titled General.

    3) Scroll down to the bottom.

    4) Deselect the box with the text “Open safe files after downloading”.

    5) The plug-ins will now download as a .zip file which uploads seamlessly to WordPress.

    The key is to upload the .zip file via the WordPress plugin uploader interface (not the unzipped folder)
