I just tried on my wordpress instance to configure:

– checked “Check only file extensions”
– checked “Skip WordPress checks”
– added new file info:
—- Description (*) = DSV-Standard-6
—- File Extension (*) = .dsv6
—- Mime Type (*) = application/octet-stream

after that i uploaded a test file (a dummy one) without any problem.
Could you try again using the same setup i used ?

In Settings – Extra File Types:
– have you checked “Check only file extensions” ?
– have you checked “Skip WordPress checks” ?
– have you checked “Microsoft Excel – Macro-Enabled Workbook” ?

have you any .xlsm file you can share with me to let me do some extra test on it ?

have you already downloaded and installed the plugin ?
if so, which “selections” have you made in its configuration page ?

could you share some screenshot about plugin configuration page ?

to better understand the problem i should know:
– wordpress version
– plugin version
– files you are trying to upload
– info/screenshot about plugin configuration you used

with this set of information i could try to reproduce the problem, without any info i’m unable to do anything to help you.

thank you, i’ll check the issue as soon as possible.
Could you also give me a test file to use during my check ?

the mimetype image/heic should be the correct one.
can you attach here a screenshot to better understand which options you have selected in plugin’s administration page ?

.exe file is now present with the correct mime type.

To see it you have to check the option “Skip WordPress checks”, otherwise it will be blocked by standard WordPress security procedures.

no feedback for more than 2 months, i consider this issue resolved.

the problem with .exe files is that more than one “mime-type” could be used, it depends on the executeble itself ( see this link: https://filext.com/file-extension/EXE ) … so you have to add it based on your needings.

If you want you can use generic type: “application/octet-stream”

you can add that kind of file, see the fields in the lower part of the settings page.

the plugin is used only during upload, download actions are not handled by it.

you should check your webserver configuration (mime types list) to see if .gpx files are correctly “understood” by the service.

Are you using “drag&drop” or are you using the “old style” choose file interface?
Another user in the past had some general problem with Safari and files upload, could you try using a different browser?

I configured my local WordPress instance to accept gpx files and the upload process was ok.

You can find screenshots of the procedure, and a sample .gpx file, at following url:

could you share a .gpx file you are trying to upload ?
