Zip files not allowed

  • Thanks for a great plugin, easy to use and very efficient. I came across a problem when atempting to upload a zip file, when I see:

    Upload failed! File not allowed

    I tried using several methods to add zip to the allowed mimes but nothing helped:

    • WP Add Mime Type
    • WP Extra File Types
    • add_filter(‘upload_mimes’, ‘custom_upload_mimes’)
    • define( ‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true ))

    However, I can upload a zip file using the media upload.

    I then removed all the above methods and I could still update a zip file using wordpress media but not with your plugin.

    I’m using the Astra theme. WordPress and all plugins are up to date. Any ideas?

    Good morning,

    Open the visual editor of the upload form, locate option Allowed File Extensions and set it like this:

    *.*, *.zip

    This will allow zip files as well.

    so *.* does NOT allow ALL filetypes, as the wildcards would imply? i am having this issue trying to upload csv

    I tried this solution but it still does not load files other than PDF.

    is there any other solution?

    Good morning, I try to upload common files such as doc/docx, xls/xlsx and zip folders but I always get an error, I have done all the possible tests even the wordpress configuration file but nothing.

    Open the visual editor of the upload form, locate option Admin Messages in General tab and activate it.

    Then upload a file again as an admin. The error message will show some more info about the problem. Can you share it with me?

    yes with a pdf this is the message: Caricamento fallito!File non consentito (Upload failed!File notallowed)

    Change upload patterns like this:

    *.*, *.zip, *.xlsx, *.xls, *.doc, *.docx

    Ok thanks it seems to be working even if that sequence had already been inserted.
    Now I ask if for the function List of Uploaded Files:

    It was possible to introduce a search by user?

    Good morning, filtering in Uploaded Files is a feature which will be added in one of the next releases.
