The directory structure of the update is incorrect. All files should be inside a directory named unique-plugin-or-theme-slug, not at the root of the ZIP archive.

I can't understand ，json Here's the file ： { "version": "4.8", "details_url": "https://xxx.cn/zhuti/51.html", "download_url": "http://www.xxx.cn/wp-content/themes/qzdy-4.8.zip" }

Is the download path name wrong

This error has to do with the contents of the ZIP file. When you make the ZIP file, all of the theme files should be in a directory that has the same name as the theme slug. So when you open the ZIP file, you should only see one directory, and all of the theme files/directories should be inside that directory.

Some ZIP software can make it look like the contents of a ZIP archive are inside a directory when they are actually not. For example, I've received multiple reports from people who use macOS that it shows ZIP archives like that. If you're on a Mac, I would recommend trying a third-party ZIP tool.
