EXE File Uploaded Doesn’t Appear On List

    I would like to offer website visitors an application .exe download (for trial software I have built); is this possible with this plugin?

    If so, I have added the extension .exe under the custom file type facility as follows:

    Description: executable

    Mime Type: ?application/x-msdownload

    Extension: .exe

    I seem to be able to upload my setup.exe file. However, after running through the upload process, it does not appear on my media file list.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hey @laralorvan,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    The File Upload Types plugin helps you to easily add support for any file types with any extension or MIME type including the application/x-msdownload type.

    To be sure, after the .exe files have been uploaded do you want them to be displayed on the front of your site so that they can be downloaded? When you get a chance, can you please share some additional details on what you are looking to achieve so that I can advise further?
    Thanks.

    Mike,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I worked out how to offer my .exe file for download using (a) ftp transfer (to copy the file to my /wp-content/uploads directory), and (b) a plugin called Add From Server (to add the file to WordPress’ media list).

    Hope I didn’t waste your time.

    Regards,

    Lar
