I'm trying to load a texture pack that was made for 1.7.2 onto the latest version. I put it in the folder as a .zip file (I didn't extract anything, cus I didn't have to with my other packs) but it doesn't show up in game. I know it was made for an older version but the latest version should still be able to run it, right? Any solutions?

I think in newer versions the names and file-paths are slightly different (like "resources" instead of "resource")
Even if it was it shouldn't change anything
In the resource pack folder is a file called "pack.mcmeta" which contains a category called "pack_format".
You have to rename pack.mcmeta to pack.txt in order to open and edit it.
If you'd like to use your resource pack in 1.13 or higher, "pack_format" has to be set to 4.
"pack_format": 1 for pre 1.9 (since your resource pack is from 1.7.2 it should be set to 1)
"pack_format": 2 for resource packs made for 1.9 and 1.10
"pack_format": 3 for resource packs made for 1.11 and 1.12
"pack_format": 4 for 1.13 and higher
So, all you've got to do is tell Minecraft that your resource pack was made for 1.13 or higher by setting "pack_format" to 4.
Don't forget to save your changes with ctrl+s before closing the text editor and change the file's name back to "pack.mcmeta" when you're done.

Okay will do, thanks
He don't have to change file extension to open and edit the file.
When I tried to open it with the .mcmeta ending Windows told me it didn't know the file ending and therefore couldn't open it. So, I had to change the ending from .mcmeta to .txt.
You have to define the program.
Built-in Windows notepad can open everything
