FAQ
-
What file types can I upload to WordPress by default?
-
By default, WordPress allows only a limited set of file types for security reasons. Learn more here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_Files -
Can I upload SVG files?
-
Yes, and only Administrators can enable/upload them. Every SVG file is automatically sanitized (scripts, event handlers, external entity references, and other known attack vectors are stripped) both when uploaded through this plugin and through WordPress’s native media uploader.
-
Can I add custom MIME types?
-
You can enable any file type from this plugin’s curated, reviewed list of extensions. Arbitrary/unlisted extensions cannot be registered – this is an intentional security restriction, not a bug.
-
Does this plugin allow all file types?
-
No. For security reasons, dangerous file types such as executable or script files are blocked.
-
Will this plugin affect existing uploads?
-
No, it only controls which file types are allowed moving forward.
