    Hello John,

    Thank you for posting here. Please let me know which file type do you want to allow. Currently, supported files are:

    File field: ‘doc’,’docx’ and ‘pdf’
    Image field: ‘jpg’, ‘jpeg’, ‘gif’ and ‘png’ type files

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello John,

    Sorry for the delayed reply. Please use the following code:

    
add_filter( 'bpxcftr_allowed_extensions', function ( $extensions ) {

	if ( isset( $extensions['file'] ) ) {
		$new_extensions = array( 'm4a', 'flac', 'mp3', 'mp4', 'aiff', '3gp' );

		$extensions['file'] = array_merge( $extensions['file'], $new_extensions );
	}

	return $extensions;
} );

    It will allow users to upload files of the mentioned extension. But File will be shown as a download link. Also, It might not support all formats.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Thanks, that worked. Are there filters I can use to change the output of the field based on the filetype or other conditions?
