 * I’m getting this error when I try to install, whether I upload or download. I’m
   sure it’s an issue with my wordpress install or theme and not the plug-in, just
   wondering if you have any thoughts? Thanks!

 * Looks like PHP’s temporary directory path is incorrectly set. Look at your .htaccess
   file or ask your web host for support.
