Cannot update beyond 2.7.0 – PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT

    Since 2.7.1 was released, I’ve been unable to update this plugin, either automatically using wp-cli (which I run every night) or via the admin dashboard. In both cases I get the following error:

    Warning: The package could not be installed. “PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature”

    This is happening on different sites and different servers. Other plugins have updated without a problem, so I don’t think it’s a problem with my setup.

    What is the best way to fix this?

    There is an issue in WP itself that if the stable version is not in the trunk, it claims the signature cannot be verified. Since I point to the stable tag folder, that might be it.

    Because you seem to be the only one of 500+ users that cannot update, I do think there is a difference in your setup, although I can not say for certain, not having access to your dashboard of course. 😉

    For now, I have completely reverted the code in 2.8.3. to be as 2.6.3. (See sticky topic I just posted).

    In your case, please deactivate the old version. Delete the plugin and re-install version 2.8.3 from the repository.

    While working out the bugs in the current/previous version I will look in to your update issue as well.

    Has this been solved with version 2.9.2?

    Since I got no response in almost 4 weeks, I am marking this topic as resolved.
