   I am an author with WordPress sites for my various books. I want to make updates available for my non-fiction but WordPress says that due to security reasons mobi and ePub files cannot be uploaded to my media database. I tried hotlinking to the mobi and ePub files stored on my main website but the hotlink returns a 404 error (a similarly hotlinked PDF is fine, so I know it isn't a hotlink issue).

   Any plans to make acceptance of mobi and ePub files possible? It's kind of a drag otherwise.

   Just add this to your themes functions.php

   function addUploadMimes($mimes) {
       $mimes = array_merge($mimes, array(
           'epub|mobi' => 'application/octet-stream'
       ));
       return $mimes;
   }
   add_filter('upload_mimes', 'addUploadMimes');
