    When uploading multiple files (png, jpeg, pdf, ect) everything works perfectly except for svg files.

    When trying to upload a SVG I get the error message :
    UPLOADED FILE IS NOT ALLOWED FOR FILE TYPE

    Am I missing something in the settings to allow svg files?

    Hello @simongabaxial ,

    Currently WordPress doesn’t allow svg files for security reasons.

    However you can add the following code in your theme/child theme functions.php file.

    function custom_mime_types($mimes) {
        $mimes['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
        return $mimes;
    }
    add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_mime_types');

    You will need to be careful on this as some svg file contains malicious code.

    Or you can use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/

    Thanks.
