New security restrictions on 3.6.1

Sorry – what restrictions? I think you’ll find that this is being controlled by your server’s configuration. Try asking your hosts about it.

nope. those are new on 3.6.1, bro:

Additional security hardening:

Updated security restrictions around file uploads to mitigate the potential for cross-site scripting. The extensions .swf and .exe are no longer allowed by default, and .htm and .html are only allowed if the user has the ability to use unfiltered HTML.

i updated one blog and i can’t upload swf to it now.

Oh – I hadn’t spotted that! Do you need it just for admins?

for now yes, but i’d like full control over it… it says these file types are forbidden by default. i guess there is a way to config it.

I’ve not tried it myself but something like:

function demo($mimes) {
	if ( function_exists( 'current_user_can' ) )
		$unfiltered = $user ? user_can( $user, 'unfiltered_html' ) : current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' );
	if ( !empty( $unfiltered ) ) {
		$mimes = array(
				'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
				'exe' => 'application/x-msdownload',
		);
	}
	return $mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes','demo');

in your theme’s functions.php file might work.

[EDITED]

Whoops – made an error in there!

function demo($mimes) {
	if ( function_exists( 'current_user_can' ) )
		$unfiltered = $user ? user_can( $user, 'unfiltered_html' ) : current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' );
	if ( !empty( $unfiltered ) ) {
		$mimes = array(
				'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
				'exe' => 'application/x-msdownload',
		);
	}
	return $mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes','demo');

So far, it seems to be working!

Your problem is similar but not identical to this one.
