    I would like to upload txt files using the File field, but I think the supported extensions are pdf and doc according to the following code:

    $extensions = array(
    ‘file’ => array(
    ‘doc’,
    ‘docx’,
    ‘pdf’,

    I’ve added a new line with the string ‘txt’ to that array with no luck. I get the same error (“Invalid file”) when I try to upload a txt file.

    Any idea?

    Hi Tarod,
    Thank you for posting.

    1. Please make sure that the file size is greater than 1 KB(We have a rounding function that rounds to zero and causes the above message if file is less than a KB). In next update, we will remove the rounding from testing file validity.

    2 You will still get security error. Please install WP ADD Mime Types plugin and add the following two types(as shown in red)

    After that, you will be able to upload text file.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh Singh,

    I reviewed yesterday the code and I saw the requirement about the file size. Thanks.

    I had already added the txt type to my WordPress so I didn’t get the error due to that.

    Thank you very much!

    Frank.

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you.
    I am assuming that it works with the above condition for you now?
