WordPress: "PHP Zip Extension Not Loaded"

[blile]

Hello.

I’m trying to install a WordPress theme I downloaded from Envato Elements.
When I try to upload the theme’s zip folder into WordPress, it cannot unzip with folder and the error reads “PHP Zip Extension Not Loaded”

How do I add a zip extension into CyberPanel? It looks like I’m running PHP 8.1

Thanks for any help. This is driving me nuts. I’ve watched tons of YouTube videos and still can’t seem to figure this out.

Thank you very much. Sorry if it’s been asked a thousand times before, I really don’t know what I’m doing. I feel like I’m feeling my way through the fog. Thanks for the help!

Sorry, last question. I’m looking for where to install the folder. I went to “Install PHP Extensions” in Cyber Panel but don’t see a place to manually upload the files. I’m obviously completely new to this. Thanks again.
