## Description

A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin that enables the uploading of Lottie animations(
JSON files) to your WordPress Media Library.

### Features

 * **JSON File Support:** By default, WordPress restricts the uploading of `.json`
   files for security reasons. This plugin safely adds `json` to the allowed upload
   MIME types.
 * **Accurate File Typing:** Ensures that WordPress correctly validates and interprets
   Lottie files as `application/json` during the upload check process.

## Installation

### Manual Installation

 1. Go to your WordPress installation directory and navigate to `wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Create a folder named `file-uploader-for-lottie-animations`
 3. Place the `file-uploader-for-lottie-animations.php` file inside this newly created
    folder
 4. Log in to your WordPress dashboard
 5. Navigate to the **Plugins** menu
 6. Find **Lottie File Uploader** in the list and click **Activate**

### Setup via ZIP file

 1. Archive the `file-uploader-for-lottie-animations.php` file into a `.zip` file (
    e.g., `file-uploader-for-lottie-animations.zip`)
 2. Log in to your WordPress dashboard
 3. Navigate to **Plugins > Add New**
 4. Click the **Upload Plugin** button at the top of the page
 5. Select the `.zip` file you created and click **Install Now**
 6. After installation, click **Activate Plugin**

## FAQ

### Does it work with third-party Lottie blocks?

Yes! Because the `.json` files are properly uploaded into the WordPress Media Library
with the correct `application/json` MIME type, you can use the file URLs in any 
third-party Lottie block or page builder widget.
