File Restrictions for .exe

  • HI there,

    We have our upload buttons set up here. All file types seem to work except for .exe which we have listed under the allowed file types.

    We just tried to swap out the uploading method to FTP but had the same results despite being able to upload .exe to FTP manually.

    Any troubleshooting suggestions we could try?

    Hi, exe files are forbidden by default, for security reasons. However you can bypass this restriction with the following instructions:

    a. Put the following code in functions.php file of your theme:

    global $wfu_extension_blacklist;
if ( isset($wfu_extension_blacklist["exe"]) ) unset($wfu_extension_blacklist["exe"]);

    b. Set Allowed File Extensions in the shortcode like this:

    *.*, *.exe

    Regards

    Nickolas
