This will be fixed in 4.7.3, see the [Trac ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39550). In the meantime, this plugin is a workaround that disables the recently introduced strict MIME check to restore the upload functionality. Don’t forget to remove the plugin once WordPress 4.7.3 is available! ## Installation 1. Upload `disable-real-mime-check` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1. Upload `disable-real-mime-check` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2.

Worked for me > WP core at 6.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-solved-worked-for-me-wp-core-at-6-3/)󠁿 [danfeather](https://profiles.wordpress.org/danfeather/) 25. August 2023 This plugin solved a problem that had me at an impasse. No matter what "solutions" from WooCommerce and other forums/posts I'd tried, I was unable to import a CSV or Tab-Text file to update details for my products. I installed this plugin and, voila!, success. It's a one-trick pony, but it's the thing I needed. Thanks!

Januar 2023 While some files are transferred, I get the following warning: “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”It seemed to work when removing HTML from my . csv file. However, sometimes it is preferred to keep HTML when importing. This plugin fixed the issue. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d0d3efb8eeaade0325ef09bd8294478111af3bb6025a840f7ec25af857243048? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Worked great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-great-206/)󠁿 [jimcoffeyii](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jimcoffeyii/) 23.
