    NinjaFirewall is blocking media uploads when file type is PDF despite the fact that I have “Allow Uploads” chosen. Also, WP MU rules are set to allow PDF uploads. This happens even if the user is an administrator. The firewall log shows the activity however, there is not associated rule that I can ‘disengage’.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi

    Can you paste here the line(s) from the firewall log showing the blocked upload attempt?

    It was accepted, not blocked: “Allowing file upload”.
    When it blocks an upload, it writes to its log: “Blocked file upload attempt”.
    It looks like you have a problem elsewhere.
    Can you try to disable the firewall from its Options page (or from the main Plugins page) and then try again to upload a PDF?
