 * Hi,
    I’m using wordpress.org- “oceanWp theme” and i’ve installed a plugin called“
   profile builder” then removed and tried to install it again, but I couldn’t. 
   As soon as I give install it loads and says “Update Failed!”.
 * ERROR MSG: “Installation failed: Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions”.
 *  I also edited the file wp-admin/includes/class.pclzip.php and Changed all references
   of gzopen to gzopen64(had 3 references) but didn’t help.
    I know I still can 
   install plugins via Cpanel and filezila but I really want to solve this ERROR.
 * Thanks in advance:)

   Profile builder plugin version: Version: 3.1.9

 * To solve this problem, you can ask your network administrator to install plugins
   for you.

 * I’m using infintyfree host and they do not provide any one-on-one technical support
   for free hosting, Is there any other way that we could solve this problem?
