Hi, I just bought the lay theme pro license, downloaded the files and wanted to install the theme following your installation guide. When I try to upload the zip-file, I get an error message saying “Inkompatibles Archiv”.
My Wordpress version is 6.4.3. Here is a link to the page .
What can I do to solve that quickly? Any help appreciated!

I've fixed the problem using the MacOS Command Line for Compression.
Instead of using the MacOS right-click ‘Compress’ option, I compressed my lay folder using the terminal :
zip -r lay.zip lay/ -

mmh this seems to be an error with wordpress itself at the moment:
https://support.17thavenuedesigns.com/article/979-incompatible-archive-error-in-wordpress-6-4-3
the link proposes a solution, which is to downgrade to another wordpress version using a plugin
this will likely be fixed with the next wordpress version. however, i added a notice to www.laytheme.com/installation.html

Thank you Armin
I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
