Plugin does not allow upload of anything other than images

  • I love this plugin for what it does, and it does it very well. Unfortunately, when activated, I am unable to upload anything other than images. If I deactivate the plugin, I can upload anything, but of course I want to keep the plugin activated for what I does so well.

    Is there a tweak I can make to the code that will allow me to keep the plugin activated and allow me to upload documents other than images?

    Notes:
    I am using the latest WordPress version as of this post, 6.0.1, multisite. The upload problem occurs regardless of whether I have the plugin activated for the network or activated for the site I am uploading files to. My website is currently under development using Xampp running on Windows.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out. This plugin is indeed designed to allow any file format that WordPress allows. What file format exactly are you trying to upload?

    Thank you for your quick response.

    The upload fails for PDFs. This is the error:
    Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.

    Using the browser uploader option, I get a more useful error message:
    Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_key_exists(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, bool given in C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-content\plugins\better-images\better-images.php:395 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(307): wnbi_wp_handle_upload_prefilter(Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-includes\plugin.php(191): WP_Hook->apply_filters(Array, Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-admin\includes\file.php(802): apply_filters('wp_handle_uploa...', Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-admin\includes\file.php(1074): _wp_handle_upload(Array, Array, '2022-08-02 11:2...', 'wp_handle_uploa...') #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-admin\includes\media.php(303): wp_handle_upload(Array, Array, '2022-08-02 11:2...') #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-admin\media-new.php(33): media_handle_upload('async-upload', 0) #6 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\cnyrpdb.org\wp-content\plugins\better-images\better-images.php on line 395

    Hello @cnyrpdbwebmaster!

    I can confirm that this is a bug. We’ll take a look at it and fix it in an upcoming release.
