.eps files do not display at all, and .tif files show only an empty box

Hi Dan,

I was able to assign an icon to the .tif files. However, still no luck getting the .eps files to display at all (not even with an empty box).

Hi djog!

AFAIK .eps in not natively supported by any popular browser, as for .tiff it is only one step removed from the former – Image format support; Most probably therefore You’ve seen broken image for the .tiff

Yes Document Gallery can handle .eps when such files are allowed in specific WordPress entity (by default this type of files is not allowed) and Ghostscript is properly installed.
It seems that Your WordPress needs to be tweaked to allow .eps.
If Ghostscript is not accessible on Your host You’ll have to upload custom thumbnails for such attachments as You’ve done for .tiff ones.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you run into any further questions!

Hi Demur,

Thank you for your quick reply! I tried adding the code that is in the article you linked to, in my functions.php file, as follows (note that the unbolded text is what is in my current functions.php file, and the bolded text is what I added):

<?php
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
array(‘parent-style’)
);
}
// Added to extend allowed files types in Media upload add_filter(‘upload_mimes’, ‘custom_upload_mimes’); function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
// Add *.EPS files to Media upload $existing_mimes[‘eps’] = ‘application/postscript’;
// Add *.AI files to Media upload $existing_mimes[‘ai’] = ‘application/postscript’;
return $existing_mimes;
}

Unfortunately, I got the following error message when I tried to save the revised functions.php file: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/a60463187/public_html/wp-content/themes/pure-simple-child/functions.php on line 14”

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi djog!

It seems like line breaks messed comments with code during copy/pasting.
Try this (same code without comments):

add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes');
function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
   $existing_mimes['eps'] = 'application/postscript';
   $existing_mimes['ai'] = 'application/postscript';
   return $existing_mimes;
}

Don’t hesitate to ask if you run into any further questions!

Demur,

You are awesome! Worked like a charm. Can’t thank you enough for going the extra mile to help me. I gave this plugin five stars (the highest possible rating) when I first started using it a couple of weeks ago, and now I’d give it 10 stars (if that was possible)!

Hi djog!

Glad that worked out for You!
