I have a .epub and .mobi file which is in my media library but when I add the url in the Simple Products area I get a message saying they are not allowed for download due to security reasons. How do I change that?

I am using most recent version sof WP and Woo.

Everytime I try adding an ePub file to my library, I get this message:

“Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”

I downloaded the “Simple Download Monitor” plugin (which was suppose to let me upload ePub and Mobi files to wordpress), but it too does not work…

So now I am looking at “Digioh”, but it’s 3$ per month… I know its not a lot of money but isn’t there a simpler way to get this done?

I put this block of code in WordPress, and I tried to test it by trying to upload the file on the Media Library and was able to upload it. But in Caldera Forms it wont work. Is there any way I can add this mime? Thanks!

//Additional File Format Upload mobi
function allow_personal_uploads ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
 
    // allow uploading .MOBI files
    $existing_mimes['mobi'] = 'application/x-mobipocket-ebook'; 
 
    // return amended array
    return $existing_mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'allow_personal_uploads');

I hope you understand why I do not link to the page. All the direct link to the e-books in PDF format of a WooCommerce store can be found using Google search and can be downloaded. Not the same with the EPUB and MOBI files. Is this a problem of the plugin, or am I wrong somewhere? Anyway, I think that if I made a mistake, it have to be the same for EPUB and MOBI, but it is not.

Thank you,

Nicolae

I found quite a few instructions to upload Epub and Mobi files (like here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/support-for-epub-or-mobi-file-types?replies=5 ) and it’s working fine for .mobi files, but epub files are automatically converted into .zip. May I change that? I’d like my clients to download .epub files on their devices.

Thank you very much in advance

Thank you in advance for your answers. I have a website that offers the sale of books. The book is sometimes in several languages. I managed to set up a list of choices for languages. I am adding another choice list for download (epub or mobi) for each language. For example I chose the language “English”, then I need to have a choice list with two options: mobi / epub – Can someone help me
