 * After having installed the plugin, and doing the steps:
    1.Make sure this plugin
   is installed and activated. 2.Download zip file of your theme’s most recent version.
   3.Log in to WordPress as and Admin and go to Appearance > Themes. 4.Click on 
   the ADD NEW button. 5.Click on the UPLOAD THEME button. 6.Click BROWSE and choose
   your zip file you downloaded. 7.Click the INSTALL NOW button.

 * I think the issue is that you have not actually downloaded the most recent version
   of the theme, but instead have some kind of link/shortcut that points to where
   you tried to download from.
 * Not sure how you did this, but the error message seems to suggest that you are
   trying to upload a link to a file as opposed to the file itself.
 * Hope this helps.

 * I’m getting the same error. I downloaded the file directly from the evato market
   theme site. There’s no other way for me to download the file. Please advise.

 * Did you download a zip file?
    Whats the name of the file you donwloaded?
 * Did you open/extract the zip file to see the contents?
    Whats the name of the
   folder created when you open/extract it?
 * The zip file you download from Envato may contain other files and folders, so
   you may need to open/extract the file, and then find the folder that is actually
   the theme, and then zip up just that folder and then try uploading that new zip
   file.
