In case you’re still struggeling: It needs to be added to your theme (preferably child theme)’s functions.php. @thomaslhotta’s code bit alone probably won’t do anything.

You’ll need something like this (do correct me if I’m wrong):

function bodhi_svgs_upload_mimes($mime_types) {
    $mime_types['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'bodhi_svgs_upload_mimes', 11);

See Plugin API/Filter Reference/upload mimes – WordPress Codex for more details about the upload_mimes filter.

@benbodhi There are actually two ways to export a SVG in Illustrator:

– File > Save As… will save your SVG with the standard metadata information on the top (including the <svg>-line)
– File > Export > Export As… will save your SVG without the standard metadata information on the top.

See this website for more information: https://css-tricks.com/illustrator-to-svg/

File > Export > Export As… is considered the best choice when using SVG files for the web because they are pretty close to web-ready.

WordPress changed the way it handles mime types (including SVG). Check the following topics to learn more about the current situation and how to temporarily fix this issue until @benbodhi found a way:

@minnur (Woah, that’s a fast reply from your side – Thanks!)

Hmm… I just see “Upload Files” and “Media Library” there. I’ll wait patiently ??
