Fix the File Type is Not Permitted error

How to Fix the ‘File Type Not Allowed’ Error in WordPress

You finally find the perfect SVG icon for your blog post header, drag it into the WordPress media library, and WordPress slaps you with an error.

Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons. Same scene happens with CSV files, HEIC photos straight off an iPhone, AI files from your designer, and a dozen other formats people work with every day.

I’ve run into this enough times across client sites and my own projects that I stopped treating it like a problem and started treating it like a checkbox setting WordPress just hides from you by default.

New Feature

WPForms Dashboard

Dark blue hero with a circular bear logo on the left, large headline 'Introducing the New WPForms Dashboard' and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge; a dashboard mockup is visible on the right.

The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.

An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.

With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.

Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!

New Feature

WPForms QR Code

Announcement banner: dark blue background with headline 'Say Hello to WPForms QR Code: One Scan Opens Your Form' and a large QR code on the right.

Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.

Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.

Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.

Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.

New Feature

Ranking Field for Surveys & Polls

Announcement hero: dark blue background, bear avatar left, large 'Introducing the New WPForms Ranking Field' text, and three stacked white option cards with 'Movies' highlighted.

The Surveys & Polls addon gains a Ranking field!

Instead of scoring each option separately, respondents drag options (or tap arrow buttons on a phone) into the order they prefer, so one option always has to come first.

WPForms tallies every response into a “Times at #1” count and an average rank for each option, with a chart that makes the winner obvious.

Lay options out as a vertical list or a grid, and use Image Choices or Icon Choices in place of plain text labels.

Integration New Feature Payments

Mercado Pago Addon

Introducing the WPForms Mercado Pago Addon: Card Payments Built for Latin America

The Mercado Pago addon brings on-page card payments built for Latin America to your forms.

Buyers enter their card details into secure, Mercado Pago-hosted fields inside the form, choose an installment plan, and pay in ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, or UYU without leaving your page.

An approved charge fires your confirmation, notifications, and integrations at the moment money actually moves, and full or partial refunds can be issued from WPForms » Payments.

WPForms takes no transaction fee, and it works with Quantities, Coupons, multi-page forms, Conversational Forms, Lead Forms, and Form Pages.

AI New Feature

WPForms Analytics

Dark blue hero with a bear avatar left, large WPForms v2.0 headline and a form analytics screenshot on the right.

WPForms 2.0 adds a complete form performance tracking suite inside your WordPress dashboard.

The All Forms page now shows Views, Entries, and Conversion Rate for every form, and each form gets its own analytics dashboard with views, interactions, conversion rate, abandonments, and errors over the last 7, 30, or 90 days or a custom range.

A field-by-field table shows interactions, time spent, errors, and abandonment for every field, so you can see exactly where people give up, and you can set a conversion goal to track progress.

There’s also a built-in AI chat reads your form data and tells you what is working, what is hurting conversions, and what to fix first.
