 * I uploaded a PDF without a problem (1.5 mb)
    When I tried to upload a .mobi file,(
   4 mb) it appears to upload, shows the correct file size at the bottom. when I
   click publish, the following error appears on the screen.
 * The file does not exist! Please check the URL and ensure it is within the WordPress
   directory structure. (For example: [http://idolbuster.com/wp-content/uploads/delightful-downloads](http://idolbuster.com/wp-content/uploads/delightful-downloads))
 * Please help

 * Hi there,
 * I believe the error you are having is due to the file type not being allowed 
   in WordPress uploads. However you can manually add additional file types by adding
   a function to your theme’s function.php file. Please try adding the following
   code and see if you are then able to upload the file.
 *     ```
       function dedo_temp_fix_upload_types( $existing_mimes ) {
       	$existing_mimes['mobi']	= 'application/x-mobipocket-ebook';
   
       	return $existing_mimes;
       }
       add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'dedo_temp_fix_upload_types' );
       ```
   
 * Sorry for the inconvenience, but this issue will be addressed in the next update.
 * Ashley
