Before we dive into the steps of uploading a theme, it's important to understand why compressing your theme is necessary. Shopify requires all themes to be uploaded in a compressed (zipped) format. This ensures that the theme files are organized and easy to manage, and also helps to reduce the file size for faster uploading.
If you are using Safari on a Mac OS, it has a feature that automatically unzips the file to your computer when you download it. This can complicate the upload process on Shopify, as the file will no longer be in its zipped form. To avoid this issue, there are two options you can choose from.
How to Stop Safari from Automatically Unzipping Downloaded ZIP Files?
Option 1: Disable the Automatic Unzipping Feature
The first option is to disable the automatic unzipping feature in Safari. Here's how:
Go to Safari, then Preferences > General > and disallow the option 'Open "safe" files after downloading.'
This option checks if the file is safe, and if it is, it automatically unzips the folder to your computer. By disabling this feature, the file will be downloaded zipped, making it easier to upload on Shopify.
Option 2: Manually Zip the File
If you prefer to keep the automatic unzipping feature enabled, you can manually zip the file before uploading it to Shopify. Here's how:
Right-click on the file or go up to the menu bar and choose 'File,' then select 'Compress "name of file".'
This will create a zipped version of the file, which you can then upload to Shopify without any complications.
