• Hi, I posted this issue yesterday, but nobody responded. This is a multi-site installation and I have tested uploading an HTML file to several of my sites. The problem is universal across the board. My provider swears nothing has changed on our Windows 2003 Server running IIS…he has 15 other customers running on that server.

    This never used to be a problem until last week. W3C test on the file indicates the page header is showing as an image/htm file when they are expecting text/html. The file displays fine in a browser window outside our WordPress environment.

    I am running PlatformPro and just a few Plugins. The site has been working fine in this configuration for over a year.

    Can anybody point me in a direction to look?

    Thanks,

    Have you considered hiring someone to resolve this for you? Support within a day sounds urgent and these forums can’t provide that level of support.

    Here are some better support avenues:

    Moving to Multisite for you.

    What version of WP?

    Are you getting any errors in WP?

    HOW are you uploading (like are you using the WP uploader or something else?

    WordPress version is 3.7.1. Uploading using standard WP uploader for these files. Have been doing this for years to this site with no problems. The display issue is a recent issue. As I have indicated, I am running PageLines Framework and have Akismet, All-In-One Event Calendar by Timely, Awesome Flickr Gallery, Exec-PHP, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms Move Labels, Gravity Forms Paypal Add-on, Unfiltered MU and WP-Members plugins active. I have tried deactivating each of these with no changes.

    I am at a loss as to where to look from here.

    Go to Dashboard >> Network Admin >> Settings >> Network Settings

    Scroll down to Upload Settings and make sure the .htm and .html file types are in the “Upload file types” field.

    Make sure that’s set up first ??

    I checked and these are the file types in the Upload File Types field: jpg jpeg png gif mp3 mov avi wmv midi mid pdf html htm

    Our site is hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Web Server running IIS 7.5.

    It is almost like the server doesn’t present the page to the browsers with the proper extension. I can copy the files from my wp-content directory to the root directory on the server and then view the file through FileZilla…it launches IE and the file displays fine. This also works from the directory where the file resides in wp-content.

    Are there any mime types for IIS that might have gotten messed up? I have been uploading and viewing these file just fine with all browser types until about a month ago. Something changed to cause this behavior…just don’t know what. Neither does the IT Technician at the hosting site.

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, but I have no idea what that might be :/ I know how to do it my Apache instance.
