Allowing AI file uploads on website front end

  • Hello. I am using woocommerce product addons to allow users to upload a file with their product. I want them be able to upload AI files. Initially wordpress would not allow AI files via the media library. I then fixed this buy adding:

    define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

    To the wp-config file. This allowed AI file in the media library via admin users but not to those using the front end form. I also tried adding this to my funcitons file:

    function my_custom_mime_types( $mimes ) {
 
    // New allowed mime types.
    $mimes['ai'] = 'application/postscript';
    $mimes['eps'] = 'application/postscript';

    // Optional. Remove a mime type.
    //unset( $mimes['exe'] );

    return $mimes;
}
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'my_custom_mime_types' );

    I can upload PDFs and EPS via the front end form but still getting told there is a security issue for AI files. Error message is:

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

    Anything else I can try?
