Actually ya, I just got the error again…Seems buggy. I’ll give the WinRar method a test. Thanks for posting that. Hope it works!
- Edit: Yes worked.

Have you tried 7zip.
I think winrar is free to keep using but it’s a commercial zipping utility isn’t it?
I had tried 7zip and didnt work for me…WinRar seems to be working good.
I tried to update 2 themes today, both themes gave me a different response. On my older theme I was able to upload the theme file. However on my newer theme, I wasn’t able to upload the theme file. I had to upload the whole package.
Support team, do you have any clue? I don’t think this is because the compressing method since I compressed both theme files using the same method.

Hi Population2, Can you give me a little more detail about the different responses you received? Cheers!

I got an error and cannot submit the theme.
Optional WordPress Theme Your ZIP must contain a single folder at the top level, which will correspond directly with your users’ /YOUR_THEME_NAME/ folder. Top level directories found: admin, framework, images, img, javascripts, languages, scripts, stylesheets
Actually already added the dscrition to style.css so what is the problem?

You need to have:
theme.zip/themefolder/all the themes files.
So, if you have a “orange” theme:
orange.zip/orange/
Has this issue been fixed? I just tried uploading about 10 times, using Windows ZIP and winRAR, zipping the inside files, the outside folder.. Different error every time, but still unable to submit.
