sorry this file type is not permitted for security reasons – With Image Files
-
The “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons” bug has hit my website too. What is weird is that I did not have this issue when I updated to 4.7.2. It showed up randomly a couple of days ago.
I have seen other posts on the same issue and understand that this has been raised before. However, when I was looking at upcoming fixes or known issues, it states that this bug exists for non-image files only.
I’m having this issue with .jpg and .png files too. As I understand Disable Real MIME Check will help overcome this issue. However, this means that I will be unable to use the images as images. i.e. the media library will not consider them images and I will not be able to add featured images to posts, which is vital with news sites.
Does someone have a fix for this issue? If not, can the “known bug” be updated to include image files too?
Thanks
