Try doing it in Nautilus instead. There’s something strange about the way Wordpress handles .tar.gz. It’s still compressed as an archive, but if you use tar at CLI, it gets confused. I will have to remember to use .zip in the future!
i’m using openbox, so no nautilus… but i did come across a solution:
run this command first
gzip -d photo_album.lua.tar.gz
and then extract the files, in this case i used file manager

i get an error when i try to unzip this file
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
