MemberPress File Downloading as Folder, not .ZIP File

For MemberPress to be properly uploaded through your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins page > Add New section, it has to be a compressed .zip file, NOT a folder. 

All the official MemberPress downloads will download as a compressed .zip file, but if you are using Safari as your web browser, you may be finding yourself with a folder, and not the compressed .zip file. This is because Safari has an auto-unzip feature so that when you download a .zip file, it will automatically unzip it for you. 

To get around this, you have two options:

1. Disable the auto-unzip feature, or
2. Use a different browser to download MemberPress.

Each of these is outlined in further detail below:
