.gcode & .stl not allowed ?

Hi @123dprint

I hope you are doing well today.

I was able to replicate this issue on my lab site as well. I pinged our Forminator Team to check this. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Kind Regards,

Hi again @123dprint

Both extensions are not supported by default by WP core, and that is why adding this in Additional filetypes in Forminator does not work.

You can use this snippet to allow .stl and .gcode extensions

add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpmudev_stl_gcode_add_upload_mime' );
function wpmudev_stl_gcode_add_upload_mime( $mime_types ) {
    $mime_types['stl'] = 'application/sla';
    $mime_types['gcode'] = 'application/x-gcode';
    return $mime_types;
}

Here is a guide on how to install mu-plugin:

Thank you. Do i add it in code editor or in the form ? Do i need to install the mu-plugin or is this extra ?

Hi @123dprint

I apologize for long delay on our end. It seems we missed e-mail notification about your response, I’m sorry about that!

As for your question:

You need to add this code

1. either to the “functions.php” file of your currently active theme – if it’s a custom child theme

2. or as MU plugin like this:

– create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. forminator-filetypes-add.php) in “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress install

– in the first line of that file put a PHP opening tag

<?php

– below it paste shared code

– save the file.

Hi @123dprint,

Sorry, i have been fiddling with it and still no luck. I believe everything is done as described, please see screenshot.

Hi @123dprint,

The code you have added looks fine, I suppose you are testing with .gcode file? I could notice it works fine when uploading .stl files.

I could notice issues when I try to upload .gcode file format, the .gcode file type isn’t supported out of the box in WP. I’m checking with our developer to see if there is any further suggestion regarding this.

Will keep you posted once we get further feedback.

Kind Regards,

Hi @123dprint,

It seems the following should work fine when tested, could you please try the following snippet and then check how it goes?

<?php

add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'wpmudev_stl_gcode_add_upload_mime' );
function wpmudev_stl_gcode_add_upload_mime( $mime_types ) {
    $mime_types['stl'] = 'application/sla';
    $mime_types['gcode'] = 'text/plain';
    return $mime_types;
}

You can implement the above code using mu-plugins. Please check this link on how to implement the above code as a mu-plugins:
https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

I had the same problem and by copying the code snipped above I could solve it for STL files. But I couldn’t get to work with STEP files.

I tried to add the following code snipped which did not work:

$mime_types[‘step’] = ‘text/plain’;

How can I get this to work? Thanks in advance!
