The patch above unfortunately didn’t work for me however I have found another work-around for people with this issue.

Download your installer and archive and upload to your server.

Go into your servers file manager (cPanel) and “copy” the name of the zip file.

Extract the zip file

Delete the _MACOSX file, select all except your installer.php and cgi-bin and re-compress these files. Make sure to paste in the name of the zip file.

Now delete all files except cgi-bin, installer.php and your re-compressed zip file

Now open yoursite.com/installer.php and run the installer

I’m also having this same issue on the latest version of Duplicator – Invalid Archive Format.

Uploading the file directly as it was downloaded, not unpacking first. No file filters

I’ve got a fix for this, but it requires editing the plugins core files, so if you update the plugin it will be removed.

Go to your File Manager or FTP into your server.

Navigate to wp-content/plugins/wp-customer-reviews/

Edit wp-customer-reviews-3.php

Scroll to line 863 and change ‘pending’ to ‘publish’

Should look like this:

‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,

Now when you add a review, if you refresh the page you will see the review is live.

Hope this helps someone.

Maybe someone can make an extension to include this functionality? Would be great if the developers included it!
