What's going wrong
Site owners who add a custom file type in this plugin still find WordPress refusing uploads with a security message. Reports cover GPX tracks, SVG and font files such as WOFF and TTF, spreadsheets such as XLSM and XLSB, camera raw DNG, PowerPoint slideshows, WebP, GLB and CAD formats. Some say the file is renamed or refused after upload, and others say saving the setting changed nothing. The reports come from many kinds of site owners, from bloggers to agencies. An opportunity exists for a diagnostic tool that shows which check blocks an upload and why, so the fix can be targeted.
