Being using Enfold on site for about 3 years. Currently running 3.8.1. Within the last couple weeks or so, no longer able to upload PDFs: “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.” File sizes are well under maximum. Also in Media, found this Warning: finfo_open() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /hsphere/local/home/XXXXXXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2325 Warning ….. not valid file_info resource in XXXXX/functions.php on line 2326…”
I added ‘image/pdf’ => ‘pdf’ to the array, but that did not help, so I removed it again.
Have you tried something like the function suggested here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-additional-file-types-to-be-uploaded-in-wordpress/
Thank you for the link. I added this code to the functions.php file via the WP backend Editor:
<?php
/*
* Enfold Child theme functions file
*/function my_myme_types($mime_types){
$mime_types[‘pdf’] = ‘application/pdf’; //Adding pdf extension
return $mime_types;
}
add_filter(‘upload_mimes’, ‘my_myme_types’, 1, 1);?>
but am still getting this warning:
Warning: finfo_open() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /hsphere/local/XXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2325 Warning: finfo_file(): supplied argument is not a valid file_info resource in /hsphere/local/XXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2326 Warning: finfo_close(): supplied argument is not a valid file_info resource in /hsphere/local/XXX/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2327
Dismiss“XXX.pdf” has failed to upload.
Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.5.2.17 version. I can ask my hosting to switch it to 5.3.29, 5.4.45 or 5.5.33 if you think that will help. Will await your advice.
According to this page (https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) the minimum version is 5.2.4 or greater. Perhaps this is the issue.
Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
Sorry, I really don’t. You might ask your hosting company if you can change back and forth between the versions. If so, I would try 5.5.33 since it’s the latest and then downgrade if you have any issues.
Hi,
Thanks again for helping out @kevinmcgillivray :-)
Did you try upgrading the PHP version and did you have any luck with it @umeworks?
Best regards,
RikardHappy to help, Rikard. I’m hoping to get an answer to one of my issues so I thought I’d help clear your plate a bit with some easy answers. :-D
