Import Export Error : Absence of ZipArchive for Php is No 1 Reason

This post is being written after we found that many web hosts do not install one very important library for the PHP – ZipArchive . In fact the problem is reported with PHP-7 version , so when upgrading to PHP 7, you should make sure to install the PHP 7 versions of libraries – that includes ZipArchive liberary – as well.  The result is that when you install any import or export plugins like- Learndash Quiz Import Plugin or Learndash Course Export or Sensei Quiz Import or LifterLMS plugin for import or export – that require import from excel or csv or export to excel or CSV , you will find the plugin just does not produce any result. The symptom of “nothing happening ” may just be indicative of the absence of the Php Class or library called Zip Archive.
