FAQ

How to archive the post?

Go to the ‘All Post’ page (wp admin) and move your mouse pointer to a specific post to see the «quick links».
A. Click on the link «Archive (Zippy)» to archive the post.
B. Use bulk action «Archive (Zippy)» to archive one or multiple posts.

How extract the post from the archive?

On the administration bar (black top bar) you can find the link «Zippy».
Use it to unzip previously archived post.

I have an error message «Can not open the archive. Error code: [value]»

It occurs when the plugin can’t open the archive for reading, writing or modifying.

For the error code check this page: https://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.open.php

I don’t see «Zippy» in the navigation menu or in the admin panel.

Be sure that your user account has permissions to edit posts («edit_post» capability).
