It isn't the plugin itself, I think some zip file utilities that are used to make zip images must be more compatible than others.

Not sure what's going on there Steve. Comments Hmm - that looks like my plugin. If so, I used Yemuzip, which I do for all my plugins. Not sure what's going on there Steve.

If I remember correctly, i used to have some hidden mac files in the zip and that gave troubles on installing plugins on some servers. Best Regards, Danny Btw yemuzip is the way to go!

Maybe that was causing an issue. I know I deleted that after uploading manually and before doing a refresh. @Chris1. Yes, that's your plugin you sent for testing. But, it looks like the advanced menu with image. Comments @PSMDanny. You're right, there was a ".Mac..." Hidden folder. Maybe that was causing an issue.
