I’m getting the following error when I try to upload a wordpress theme:
The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
Any ideas on how I can solve this? Thanks.

WordPress Themes have specific structure that is required and the file must be in ZIP format, so if you are attempting to upload anything other than a ZIP (i.e. theme.zip), then you may see such an error.
