Allow upload of tex files

Moving to How-To and Troubleshooting.

It’s not really .tex files as much as “only these files types by default” sort of thing. It is to limit the uploading of files that can be harmful.

Is it possible to allow the upload in case “tex” is added to the upload file types in network settings?

Are you using multisite? If so then this should work.

And add the file extension text to the Upload file types list.

Yes, I use multisite and I already tried that workaround but it doesn’t work for tex files.

Huh. That’s odd and should have worked. I’m going to move this topic to Multisite to see if someone can chime in there.

You have to add it like this:

// Mimes
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'add_custom_upload_mimes');
function add_custom_upload_mimes($existing_mimes){
	$existing_mimes['epub'] = 'application/epub+zip'; //allow epub files
	$existing_mimes['webm'] = 'video/webm'; //allow epub file
	return $existing_mimes;
}

Adjust for whatever a TEX is ??

It works, thanks!
