   I was seduced into installing WP because there was an 'svg plugin.'

   I cannot get it to work, and as I inspect the code it appears to want to install an Adobe plugin that Adobe has long discontinued support for, since all 'modern' browsers natively support svg.

   Why can't WordPress allow svg support? The browsers do, so why can't WP let the svg in?

   There are multiple plugins actually: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/svg

   Also you can use a plugin to add your own allowable upload types, and thus include them normally.

   If you need further support, please post in http://wordpress.org/support/

   lpstenu, thanks for taking the time to reply and offer a suggestion. However, as ChrisFo originally posted, the only real solution to this is to allow native display of the svg file type.

   This is a discussion that has reached its time: The wikis have long allowed for native display of svg.

   All of the major CMS packages are engaging in their own dialogs about why or why not svg is not feasible. I can't see the sense of it: if almost all of the 'modern' browsers support it natively, then what are we waiting for?
