The error "Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type" in WordPress occurs when you try to upload a file type that is not allowed by WordPress's default settings.
Please follow the below steps which helps you to solve these error.
1. Allowed File Types in wp-config.php
You can enable unfiltered uploads to allow all file types:- Inside your cPanel's File Manager, open the wp-config.php file.
- Add the following code before the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */:
define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); - Save the file and try uploading again.
You can explicitly allow specific file types by adding a code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:
Code:
function custom_upload_mimes( $mimes )
{
$mimes['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
$mimes['json'] = 'application/json';
}
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes' );
Replace 'svg' and 'json' with the MIME types of the file you want to upload.
