Mobi and ePub files disallowed

    I am an author with WordPress sites for my various books. I want to make updates available for my non-fiction but WordPress says that due to security reasons mobi and ePub files cannot be uploaded to my media database. I tried hotlinking to the mobi and ePub files stored on my main website but the hotlink returns a 404 error (a similarly hotlinked PDF is fine, so I know it isn’t a hotlink issue).

    Any plans to make acceptance of mobi and ePub files possible? It’s kind of a drag otherwise.

  • Just add this to your themes functions.php

    function addUploadMimes($mimes) {
    $mimes = array_merge($mimes, array(
        'epub|mobi' => 'application/octet-stream'
    ));
    return $mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'addUploadMimes');

    Sorry for the late reply — this worked and thank you!

    No, it does not work. It is causing an error in loading the functions.php file.
