    Hello,

    First of all, good plugin.

    Hope you can help me, I have a problem trying to upload .doc, .docx files. I can upload them through the native WordPress media file interface. I can also upload pdf, jpg files etc.

    This error only occurs when trying to upload .doc, .docx files.

    I hope you can help me.

    Thank you so much for everything.

    Hi Dave,
    Thank you for using MediaPress.

    The extensions .doc, .docx are not anbled by WordPress for security reasons. You will need to enable the mime types for these extensions.

    You can use a plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/ to allow these extensions.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for answering.

    I have installed the plugin that you indicate and it does not work.

    I also activated the function: define (‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);

    and it still doesn’t work, it only happens with: .doc and .docx

    Thank you

    Hi Dave,
    Thank you for the reply. Did you enable the extensions using the plugin?

    The constant ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS only works for administrators. Please let me know if you have it enabled using the plugin?

    Regards

    Hello,

    I do not have the function enabled.

    In the plugin that you indicated, add the doc and docx extensions but it still gives the same error.

    Thank you

    Hello Dave,

    Can you please share the error you are getting when trying to upload a doc file? Also, Let me know where you are trying to upload the doc file. I have tried uploading doc files on the activity directory on my development server and it is uploading with no error.

    Hello Dave,

    Thank you for the acknowledgment. But this does not make the issue clear. Please try to debug it more to get the actual error. Take the reference from the following document and post the actual error.
