 * If a user attempts to attach a .docx file as a resume, it throws an error: “Error
   in submitting your application. Please try again later!” We are not the only 
   website experiencing this error, either.
    According to my settings, the ‘allow.
   docx’ box is checked. PDF and .doc work fine.

 * Wordpress 5.1, WP Job Openings Plugin Version 1.2.1.
    Any document will do. You
   may test it on our website https:// timesystem sllc.com/job-openings/ (remove
   the spaces, I have added them to prevent spam). Confirmed, the issue still exists.

 * It looks like a server issue. Some hosting providers restrict uploading Docx 
   files due to security issues (One such example is GoDaddy). Please confirm it
   with your hosting provider. One way to solve this server-side issue is to only
   allow resumes with doc/pdf extension.
