 * I am trying to upload an SVG file to my gallery…the same sort of file I have 
   successfully added many times…but today I am receiving an error message
 * “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons”
 * I have no idea what about this file is a security problem. It is a file I created
   and wish to share with my subscribers on how to make a greeting card I will be
   displaying in a blog post.
 * I tried adding it in another format (.Studio) and received the same message.
 * This is obviously something new as I have never received this message previously.
 * Is this a glitch? Does anyone know what the problem might be? I sure hope this
   isn’t a prohibited upload as I upload these frequently…or was.
 * Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide.

 * Hi [@katydidcards](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katydidcards/),
 * Unfortunately, our uploader will only work with .jpg, .png, and .zip files. As
   far as I know, the plugin hasn’t ever worked with .svg. If it did, it would have
   been in much older versions of the plugin. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.
