Upload Media by Zip

Description

Upload a zip archive and let WP unzip it and attach everything to a page/post (or not).

Please note that you’ll still be restricted by your server’s maximum upload size.

If the zip file uploads, but the contents aren’t extracted, see the FAQs.

Languages

Screenshots

  • Original uploader (good if you don’t want to attach images to another post)
  • Zip uploader media button
  • Second uploader

FAQ

The zip file uploads, but the contents aren’t extracted

Try this: Open up the upload-media-by-zip.php file and locate WP_Filesystem() (line 301). Surrounding it are three lines labeled 1, 2, and three. Uncomment those.

This problem happens only on some server setups, I haven’t experienced it personally which makes it difficult for me to provide a better solution. If you have one, please share.

The tabs in the media pop-up are all crazy

Sounds like you’re using 2.8. Update.
