It should work for single file uploads. Notice about IE is regarding multiple file uploads
I’m not using multiple file uploads. This is what I’ve got for my form:
[fu-upload-form title="Upload your Photos"]
[input type="text" name="name" id="ug_name" description="Your name"]
[input type="file" name="photo" id="ug_photo" description="Your Photo"]
[input type="submit" value="Submit"] [/fu-upload-form]
I also haven’t been able to get the single upload form to work with this plugin. I’m simply using the [fu-upload-form] short code. Does IE8 change the MIME type on upload or might it be something else?
So it looks like the issue was because of the two IE specific MIME types (pjpeg & x-png)… I seem to have figured out an interim solution to the issue:
Open frontend-uploader.php
Add this code after line 115
$ie_mimes = array( 'image/pjpeg','image/x-png');
Update line 118 from:
if ( in_array( $k['type'], $this->allowed_mime_types ) ) {
to this:
if ( in_array( $k['type'], $this->allowed_mime_types ) || in_array( $k['type'], $ie_mimes) ) {
Hope that helps!
