Enable Media Replace

Enables replacing attachment files by simply uploading a new file in the media library edit view.

2.6

  • New and improved validation of uploaded files, now using WP's own functions for checking file type and extension. Thanks again to my old friend Ulf "Årsta" Härnhammar for keeping us all on our toes! :) This should also hopefully fix the problems people have been having with their installations claiming that perfectly good PDF files are not allowed file types.

2.5.2

  • The "more reliable way" of determining MIME types turned out to be less reliable. Go figure. There seems to be no perfect way of performing a reliable check for MIME-types on an uploaded file that is also truly portable. I have now made checks for the availability of mime_content_type() before using it, using the old method as a fall-back. It is far from beautiful, so if anybody has a better way of doing it, please contact me!

2.5.1

  • Bug fix - there is now a more reliable way of determining file type on your upload so you can upload PDF files without seeing that pesky "File type does not meet security guidelines" message.
  • New translation to Danish - thanks to Michael Bering Petersen!

2.5

  • Tested with WordPress 3.2.1
  • New translation to German - thanks to Martin Lettner!
  • New translation to French - thanks to François Collette!

2.4.1

  • Bug fix for WordPress 3.1 RC. Now properly tested and should be working with 3.1 whenever it finally comes out. :)

2.4

  • Bug fixes, security fixes. Thanks to my old pal Ulf "Årsta" Härnhammar for pointing them out!
  • New method for uploading avoids going around WP, for greater security.

2.3

  • Lots of code trimmed and enhanced, thanks to Ben ter Stal! Now working properly with Windows systems, better security, optimized loading, and much more.
  • Added Dutch translation by Ben ter Stal.

2.2

  • Bug fix, fixed typo in popup.php, thanks to Bill Dennen and others for pointing this out!

2.1

  • New shortcode - display file modification date on your site (see description for more info)
