 * When i choose upload file as my question, then by default it allows only a few
   type of files (pdf, doc, image and etc) is it possible to extend allowed types,
   so i could upload a file with custom format?

 * Hi [@dholly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dholly/) 
   As of now, there are
   no such options available. It will only support the default formats only.Can 
   you please tell me the custom formats that you want to allow? So I will discuss
   this with our developers and get back to you.Regards,Sumit

 * Hello and thanks for response! I was thinking about archives (zip or rar files),
   it would cover all necessary formats per se

 * Hi [@dholly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dholly/) ,
 * I would like to inform you that the .zip extension has not been allowed in the
   plugin as it poses potential security risks. However, if you still wish to enable
   it, please consider using the following code:
 * /*Update question options
   ** [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/)
   array $advanced_question_option question options** return array $advanced_question_option
   modified question options_/ function update\_qsm\_question\_advanced\_option(
   $advanced\_question\_option ){ $advanced\_question\_option[‘file\_upload\_type’][‘
   options’][‘zip’] = \_\_( ‘Zip’, ‘quiz-master-next’ ) ; return $advanced\_question\
   _option; } add\_filter( ‘qsm\_question\_advanced\_option’, ‘update\_qsm\_question\
   _advanced\_option’, 20, 1); /_Update question options upload type mines** [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/)
   array $mimes** return array $mimes modified mimes*/function update_qsm_file_upload_mime_type(
   $mimes ){$mimes[] = ‘application/zip’;return $mimes;}add_filter( ‘qsm_file_upload_mime_type’,‘
   update_qsm_file_upload_mime_type’, 20, 1);
 * After adding the code to your function.php file, kindly verify if the issue has
   been resolved.
 * Let me know if you need more help.
 * Regards,
   Sumit
