 * Ever since the upgrade to WordPress 4.7.1 we have not received one attached resume.
   It used to work fine. I posted about this yesterday but can’t find my post. There
   is a warning about attachment type not allowed when trying to upload and cannot
   find a place to declare that information. I have not changed the form which had
   been working fine for a couple of years… Is this a bug?
 * Thank you,
    -Janette

 * Hi Janette,
 * I’m running 4.7.1 WordPress install with the most up to date version of the Job
   Manager plugin and can confirm no conflicts with submitted resumes nor resumes
   with attachments. The issues as you were surmising is with the error about attachment
   type not allowed. Do you have any functions in your theme that are blocking certain
   file extensions from upload to the WordPress Media Gallery?

 * Hi
 * I have same issue that suddenly when users from outside want to upload attachment
   when applying for a job they get “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for 
   security reasons.”
 * I have searched around in several forums to allow file upload again, but unable
   to find the reason for this.
 * The regular functions.php already have all the different file types listed.
 * Have also tried to check my other plugins but not able to identify why this have
   changed.
