## Beschrijving

Pro Mime Types adds a nifty (network) admin interface for allowing or blocking many
file extensions for uploading media, documents, and other attachments.

It also shows you a list of all allowed MIME types on the site or network.

 * When a MIME type is allowed, users who can upload files can now do so for that
   MIME type.
 * When a MIME type is blocked, users see an error that the file isn’t allowed for
   security reasons.

For WordPress Multisite networks, you can enable this plugin in network mode to 
control MIME types for the entire network.

### Features

 * You can control many MIME types and extensions for upload via a modern interface.
 * Pro Mime Types comes preconfigured by enabling many safe MIME types.
 * View all allowed MIME types for the site (also those enabled by other plugins).
 * Every MIME type comes with a security summary explaining why you should or shouldn’t
   allow it. To view the summary, hover the mouse cursor over the big colored icon.
 * Accessibility is at the forefront. For example, you can use full keyboard navigation,
   even for tooltips.
 * Adds text, code, and miscellaneous file types to the Media Library for sorting.
 * The Media Library gains support for more file types for sorting images, audio,
   video, documents, spreadsheets, and archives.

### Multisite support

This plugin can run in network mode, where all sites are allowed one set of MIME
types. You can configure the allowed MIME types via the network administration UI.

Alternatively, Pro Mime Types can run in single-site mode, where every subsite has
custom-allowed MIME types. Only the network administrator can assign these on a 
per-site basis.

## FAQ

### I enabled a file type, but I still couldn’t upload it!

Not all PHP installations recognize MIME types the same way, making it difficult
for us to test every file type.

Some file types are blocked by WordPress itself when the server lacks support for
them, such as `.avif` and `.webp`.

If you find an issue, please open a [support topic](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pro-mime-types/#new-topic-0)
or [GitHub issue](https://github.com/sybrew/pro-mime-types/issues/new) and detail
your website’s [PHP version](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-health-screen/#server)
and image extension so we can start investigating the MIME type.

or FTP for that.

Finally a good multisite-aware Mime Type enabler. Network activate the plugin and
look for the menu option under Settings. Many thanks to the developer.
