This theme is not correct for Prestashop 1.7

Some time ago I received this message:

I finished my theme, downloaded it and then tried to install it on my Prestashop 1.7.  Then I got this error: "This theme is not correct for Prestashop 1.7".

I am sure the theme with PrestaBuilder, Prestashop 1.7.

This is why the theme zip was corrupted - automated unzipping in Safari!

• the user created and downloaded a theme from PrestaBuilder
• he was using Safari which automatically unzips all zips

How to zip the file manually

You have to open the root folder ( for example PTM-theme001-v1724-8f20) and zip the content. That means you have to highlight these folders:

• assets
• cache
• config
• dependencies
• modules
• preview.jpg
• templates

and ZIP them. (The folders above are related to Prestashop 1.7)

This way you will create a valid ZIP that you can upload into your Prestashop installed.

Another option

You can disable automated unzipping in Safari this way:

In the "General" tab, uncheck "Open 'safe' files after downloading." This will stop Safari from automatically unzipping the files.
