### Download with Safari ###
**Why does the download show only a folder?**

**If you use Safari**, your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You cannot upload this folder directly to WordPress.

Solution: Open **Safari preferences** and disable the option **”Open safe files after downloading”**. After that the ZIP file will remain as you need it.

The video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube shows you the exact details.

### More Questions ###
