I have this installed on several sites. Everything is working except for one. Settings would not save. Even though I deleted the plugin, my client is barred from all uploads. I posted in the support area but there is no reply to the ticket. Now my client cannot upload documents even though I removed the plugin. Really need to know where the settings are that this plugin created so I can undo them.

Excellent little plugin that will prove very useful. My use case for this is to discourage colleagues from uploading things they aren’t supposed to, such as:

• png, because almost certainly it’s a large file and may have transparency that we don’t need
• webp, because we still have plenty of customers with older safari versions that can’t use webp. We use cloudflare to deliver webp dynamically, so we want the site itself to have one version that is fully compatible as a fallback.

This plugin could be improved further by:

1. Tucking the Restrict Files admin menu item inside the media menu, and saying in the documentation where it is.
2. Adding a file size restriction.
3. Adding to the upload failure message to say what plugin has caused this limitation, so that a user has a clue what to do if they need an exception. “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type, as it has been limited by the Restrict Files plugin.”

Simple to configure and highly effective. Good job!
