Files with full-stops in filename get blocked as "unsupported filetype".

  • Last night I tried uploading a stylesheet with a filename of “page.whitepapers.fb-report.css”. The plugin obviously interpreted “.whitepapers.fb-report.css” as an entire file extension.

    The method that the plugin’s currently using to read the file extension is:
    $ext = substr($file, strpos($file,'.'), strlen($file)-1);
    This should ideally be changed to:
    $ext = end(explode('.', $file));

    Also, it wouldn’t hurt to run the list of allowed filetypes through a WordPress filter. ?? Just saying. Otherwise, keep up the good work! This plugin’s really helped with updating files at the last minute from mobile (which is where virtually every theme editing plugin goes to hell, since very few of them are written to be responsive or the least bit mobile-friendly).

  • I’m seeing a similar issue. I’m trying to upload a file named “jquery.mmenu.css” and I keep getting the error “This file type is not allowed!”

    Thank you for you comments. @alhadis, I will be making an update shortly. @darkhorse20 If you are having issues rename the file to have a single extension. Like “jquerymmenu.css. The plugin separates the file name by the period to find the extension, then loops through array of file types allowed. I will be making a update to change this and allow for multiple filetypes with a file name. Like “jquery.ui.css”
