  • There was probably a change in the host, or in the configuration with WordPress. You need to find the filetype that is being used, and then explicitly allow that file type to be uploaded, like this:

    or

    thanks for the links! I checked properties and it says pdf, the website doesn’t say anywhere that its a different type. tried another free pdf to booklet site and got the same error.

    May be your hosting provider has changed their defoult rules of file types, thats why now it is creating restrictions. You may try to force server by adding rules on the root .htaccess

    <FilesMatch ".(jpg|gif|png)$">
    Order Deny,Allow
    ?? ?Allow from all
    </FilesMatch>

    Here we tell server to allow jpg, gif, or png.?Always make a backup before doing any change on .htaccess because many times it makes website crush if anything goes wrong.

    it just let me upload a few booklets but now it wont let me upload any type of pdf and says “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”. only thing i did differently is reset my network settings. also i have 32gb’s free on my laptop. also can’t figure out how to install the file-upload thing thats supposed to force it to let me upload pdf’s because on the plugin page theres no add new plugin button only a list of installed ones and its not on that list :(. tried googling how to solve and couldn’t figure it out.
