While I was trying to upload theme via the Cpanel, I got this result:


Archive: /home/jideofor/public_html/wp-content/themes/flexibility3.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: /home/jideofor/public_html/wp-content/themes/flexibility3.zip may be a plain executable, not an archive unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/jideofor/public_html/wp-content/themes/flexibility3.zip or /home/jideofor/public_html/wp-content/themes/flexibility3.zip.zip, and cannot find /home/jideofor/public_html/wp-content/themes/flexibility3.zip.ZIP, period.

How do I fix this problem? This the third theme I am using and getting this results... What is the cause.

      This looks like a case where you first need to unzip the zip file, which will then provide various items of content PLUS the actual zip file containing the theme.

      You can then either upload it via your blog's panel, or (preferably), unzip that file and upload it to your blog's them folder manually.

          Delete any existing Flexibility files that are now in the wp-content/themes directory on your web server.

          On your own computer, create a new folder on your desktop. Copy the theme zip file to the new folder. Unzip the theme zip file into the current folder, using the 'extract here' option ( or however your zip program terms it ). You should see one folder with the name Flexibility or something close. From your cpanel, upload the newly unzipped folder - not the zip file itself - to your wp-content/themes directory. From your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes and activate the theme.

      I first upload the zip file to theme and then, I extract to theme to get the actual content that is inside the zip folder
