    Hi,

    I don’t know does anyone have this problem, but it’s started today, i can’t add anything from dropbox it gives me this error
    The downloadable file OFFLINE%20COUNTER%20STRIKE.zip?dl=1 cannot be used as it does not have an allowed file type. Allowed types include: jpg|jpeg|jpe, gif, png, bmp, tiff|tif, ico, asf|asx, wmv, wmx, wm, avi, divx, flv, mov|qt, mpeg|mpg|mpe, mp4|m4v, ogv, webm, mkv, 3gp|3gpp, 3g2|3gp2, txt|asc|c|cc|h|srt, csv, tsv, ics, rtx, css, htm|html, vtt, dfxp, mp3|m4a|m4b, ra|ram, wav, ogg|oga, mid|midi, wma, wax, mka, rtf, js, pdf, class, tar, zip, gz|gzip, rar, 7z, psd, xcf, doc, pot|pps|ppt, wri, xla|xls|xlt|xlw, mdb, mpp, docx, docm, dotx, dotm, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb, xltx, xltm, xlam, pptx, pptm, ppsx, ppsm, potx, potm, ppam, sldx, sldm, onetoc|onetoc2|onetmp|onepkg, oxps, xps, odt, odp, ods, odg, odc, odb, odf, wp|wpd, key, numbers, pages

    It happens with anything i try to upload from dropbox i think the problem is that it shows as .zip?dl=1 not as .zip i can add stuff direct from media in wordpress but i use dropbox for uploading stuff cause they are bigger

    Maybe this is not plugin problem but i’ll post anyway maybe someone know how to fix this

    Hi guys, great to hear WooCommerce has fixed this issue.
    Update WooCommerce and everything should be fine.

    Using wooCommerce 2.3.11. The issue still exists as I cannot publish my *.zip files:

    The downloadable file [name].zip cannot be used as it does not have an allowed file type. Allowed types include: jpg|jpeg|jpe, png, gif, mov|qt, avi, mpeg|mpg|mpe, 3gp|3gpp, 3g2|3gp2, mid|midi, pdf, doc, docx, docm, pot|pps|ppt, pptx, pptm, odt, ppsx, ppsm, xla|xls|xlt|xlw, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb, key, mp3|m4a|m4b, ogg|oga, wma, wav, mp4|m4v, webm, ogv, wmv, flv

    If anyone like me is struggling to get this done, you have to manually add your mime type to the allowed mime types array.

    add_filter('mime_types', 'my_mimes');

function my_mimes($mimes) {
    // add your mime types
    $mimes['zip'] = 'application/zip';
    return $mimes;
}

    I have been waiting through several updates of Woocommerce, probably back to 2.3, for this issue to resolve itself. It still hasn’t. I’ve tried several suggestions i have found on the forums and none of them has worked.

    I get a similar error message to kireaki, except I’m not using dropbox. When I try to save the product with the file link to a mobi or epub, I get the error message and the link itself disappears as unacceptable. The buyer, of course, doesn’t get a download link upon purchase. t can, however, put a PDF link in there. I don’t get an error message and the buyer gets a download link.

    I have the latest woo commerce upgrade and it didn’t help me with this problem either.

    What file do I need to add that mimes coding to? I’m not sure. Any other suggestions are most welcome.

    Thank you. I eagerly look forward to getting this resolved.

    Same issuee here ??
