    I’m hosting at wordpress.com, using the twenty twenty-four theme. Only default wordpress.com plugins installed/activated. I’ve installed and activated SVG Support and see the menu options in settings, but when I try to upload a .svg file to the wordpress media library I get the error message “file could not be uploaded because the file type is not supported.” For what it’s worth I see the same error with the Safe SVG plugin too.

    Yeah I don’t think it’ll work on wordpress.com because they probably override any ability to upload svg files. I can’t be sure though, it’s been years since I even used the .com version of WP.

    You’d probably need to be self hosting WordPress (www.ads-software.com) if you want to get the freedom to use everything as intended.
