I tried this but it didn’t work. In fact, when I opened up class-wp-filesystem-direct.php, your fix was already there. Guess I’ll keep hacking away, I’ve tried assigning /wp-content/upgrades to chmod 777 and writing both SSH and FTP connections into the wp-config.php file but neither seem to change the output (which is the error exactly as you described it). For anyone wondering, I’m hosting with NearlyFreeSpeech.

We have created our own theme for WordPress but it fails to install.
i got the error message as follows.

Unpacking the package…

Incompatible Archive. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.

I copied the code exactly as you have it… couldn’t get it to work.
