    thats the code i already copied… wat else do i need to do?

    Nothing. The code has been tested and works. Jpg uploads should be unaffected.

    in that forum you have posted 2 codes

    Both code snippets in that topic are correct. The first block was edited.

    ok… i copied the second one… but can u plz add sum code in that so it can include upload for jps, gif, bmp along with swf… bcoz now i can only upload swf and the same error which i used to get for swf before entering the code in my php file… now i m getting that error for jpg files after i entered he code…

    The posted code does not affect jpg, bmp or any other image uploads. It merely bypasses the new restrictions on .swf files.

    ok… last question…please tell me exactly where should i copy the code… thanks a lot for your time…

    As mentioned in that topic, it should be added to your theme’s functions.php file.

    i can paste the code in any line of the functions.php file… or it has to b between sum specific lines…

    Anywhere after the opening <?php tag and outside of any existing function.

    the problem still exists… please produce sum code… or extend this code with permission for jpg… jus like swf is given permission here… may b add sum code like

    'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
				'exe' => 'application/x-msdownload',

    sumthing like ‘jpg’ => ‘xxx’

    can u do sumthing as such…

    thanks in advance…

    I am having the same problem with jpg’s after inputting this code. I can upload swf files but can’t upload jogs. please help!
