# Upload Issue

 * When we use the current latest version of the plugin (3.2.55) we can’t upload
   files anymore. They end up in the file system on the server, but they don’t get
   saved in the wp_postmeta it results in something like this `a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}`
   for the variable `__wpdm_files` and therefor not linked to the created to the
   File.
 * This still works when I switch back to 3.2.41. So something has changed. We have
   a Capistrano setup on the server which uses symlinks for the upload folder. I
   guess this might give issues. I noticed in the settings of the plugin that `File
   Browser Root` logic got changed. So it might have to do something with that? 
   Will this be fixed in the future?
 * It was a bit annoying that not a single error was thrown when the actual uploaded
   file couldn’t get linked to the file post object.

 * Please add all allowed file exts here:
    [https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5unzowm](https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5unzowm)
 * That should resolve the upload issue.

 * Hej Shafaet,
 * Thx for your reply and trying to help us with this.
    I tried that one of the 
   first tings because it got mentioned on other places on the web as well. But 
   it didn’t fixed the issue.
 * We also don’t get any error nowhere, or no notices either. If it would be because
   of the “Allowed file types to upload”, I assume the plugin would throw us an 
   error or a notice for that, right? But the whole saving process works. The file
   gets onto the server and has correct read-rights, the same as all the files from
   the past year that worked fine. It just doesn’t get the right value in the wp_postmeta
   > `a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}` for the variable `__wpdm_files`.
 * I hope you can help is more with this, because it’s not nice to not be able to
   update the plugin anymore.
 * Kind regards
