 * Can’t post mp4 files to my page without getting message:
    this file type is not
   permitted for security reasons
 * Could previously.
 * Someone have a **SIMPLE** work around/solution?

    I guess that’s simple! 😉 Wish there was something I could do at my 
   end. LT

 * If the mime type in the MP4 header doesn’t match what WP is expecting for an 
   MP4 file, you’ll get this error. See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types)
   for a list.
 * There are currently some issues with MIME types and uploading that should be 
   resolved in WP 5.0.3.
