@gcurtisdep – thank you for using EMR and for your message. Could you please try this post as it could contain a solution to your problem?

Thank you for solutions.

I installed https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/ reluctantly and it solved my problem.

Hopefully, the next release of EMR has this corrected and I can remove this plugin.

@gcurtisdep – This isn’t an EMR issue but rather a WP security limitation. While I understand that you’d like to only have a single plugin instead of 2 we do not believe that adding this kind of feature (like the one covered by this plugin) would be aligned with EMR’s scope.

@shortpixel I agree that you should not add this kind of feature but I believe it is still an EMR issue. In my opinion, if I add a filter to upload a certain file type (xlsm), then I would believe the EMR should allow that file type to be replaced. By EMR using wp_check_filetype_and_ext, I hope this will be corrected in WordPress 5.2

@gcurtisdep this should be fixed as suggested by you in the latest plugin update, could you please check and confirm?

Thank you,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you for letting me know. However, EMR update version 3.2.8 did not fix my issue. I continue to get ‘File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.’ when trying to replace a file that already exists with the same extension XLSM.

Thank you for your follow-up, we’re (again!) looking into this.
