Common Errors Installing New Icon Sets
Posted on
You might encounter errors when installing icon sets that you’ve created, or that you’ve downloaded from a third party. Some of the errors you may encounter are listed below, along with their associated solutions.
You can’t upload files of this type.
Uploading invalid file types through the Icon Sets page will display the follwing error.

Solution
The solution here is to upload a .zip archive downloaded from Icomoon, or a .zip archive of only .svg files. WPIcons only accepts .zip files when uploaded from the Icon Sets page in the dashboard. All other file types will fail.
This does not appear to be an IcoMoon zip archive.
Attempting to install an invalid IcoMoon .zip archive will result in the following error. This means that some files are missing from the .zip archive, or the selection.json was corrupted or incorrectly structured.

Solution
The best solution is to re-download your zip file from IcoMoon to ensure the contents of the .zip archive are structure properly. If you re-download the icon set and the issue persists, please contact us or login, submit a support request and be sure to attach the .zip archive you are having issues with.
