adding mime types

  • I am trying to build a plugin that generates a file for download per post. Right now I can generate the file and put it in the wordpress uploads directory.

    when I generate a link to the files using wordpress functions I get this

    https://www.sociology.org/files/1184.ris

    but download doesn’t work. only this one does

    https://www.sociology.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files//1184.ris

    I have tried adding a mime type in the plugin

    function gs_add_mime_type($mimes ) { 	

return array_merge($mimes,array ('ris' => 'text/ris')); 

}
add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'gs_add_mime_type' );

    But that doesn’t seem to enable downloading the ris file from the directory. can anybody help? I do not want to expose anybodies download path so I need to get thsi working
