Woocommerce and non-Woocommerce sites. Sites updated to 4.9.9 so I think probably related to this update. Will do some testing with a restore and provide feedback. * Thread Starter [kparker2213](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kparker2213/) * (@kparker2213) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-not-uploading/#post-10984471) * thank you, in the mean time this plugin corrected our issue, its a temporary solution. install and activate it, no setting needed to be adjusted for me. it began to allow CSV…. * [plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/) * [pmuwppress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pmuwppress/) * (@pmuwppress) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-not-uploading/#post-10984548) * Thanks [@kparker2213](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kparker2213/) * [cromagrickman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromagrickman/) * (@cromagrickman) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-not-uploading/#post-10984894) * I’m having the same issue. Disabling the MIME check is definitely an option but is a security risk so I’d like to avoid that. Before, you could use the “upload_mimes” filter to add MIME types that were previously not allowed, but that code doesn’t seem to be making any difference this time. Below code for reference (added to a functions.php file in my child theme): * ``` // Function to allow .csv uploads function drick_custom_upload_mimes($mimes = array()) { // Add a key and value for the CSV file type $mimes['csv'] = "text/csv"; return $mimes; } add_filter('upload_mimes', 'drick_custom_upload_mimes'); ``` * **EDIT** I had “add_action” instead of “add_filter” but it still doesn’t work.

So, do you all use the plugin to enable/disable automatic updates?? I have the bigger updates like WP 5.0.1 disabled as far as auto-updates, but minor updates must be turned on somewhere?? when I go to settings> there is no option for “automatic updates” and I think it may be only if you have the plugin. * [cdonner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cdonner/) * (@cdonner) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-not-uploading/#post-10995402) * Some problem with the Give plugin.
