 * Hello,
 * On my site, the types of files authorized for uploading only take into account
   the .ZIP format! I am unable to put something else as a format in the settings!
   When I enter the file extensions I want to allow uploading via WPDM (ex: png,
   jpg, pdf), I always get a file path error.
 * Thank you in advance, truthfully yours,
 * Claude
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-allowed-file-types%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
    Hope you are well. Please reset your File browser Root Path by following
   [this](https://share.getcloudapp.com/Z4uK8QXO). Also, make sure that you are 
   using the latest version `3.2.11` of the WPDM plugin. THank you

 * Please don’t add space after comma (,). It should be like `png,jpg,pdf`

 * Thanks to you two.
 * It still does not work. I have this message:
 * `public_html / wp-content / uploads / download-manager-files / Creative Commons
   License.pdf)! Invalid File Type.`
 * Claude
 * PS : You absolutely have to write the extensions like this: `zip,pdf` ( without
   any space ).

 * try just adding * or keep empty for WordPress default. That should work fine.
