file type critical error due extra dot “.” in the file name

  • Please kindly check if it causes possible critical error due file name with an extra dot.

    Ex:

    edit.123abc.mov (error)
    edit123abc.mov (no error)

    When upload movie from iPhone, iPhone puts the file name “trim.” to the original name that causing uploading error I think.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, yes indeed the plugin does not allow dots in the filename. This is a security measure against double extensions.

    You can put following line in functions.php file of your theme to deactivate the dot restriction:

    if ( isset($GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"]) ) $GLOBALS["WFU_GLOBALS"]["WFU_WILDCARD_ASTERISK_MODE"][3] = "loose";

    Regards

    Nickolas
