This type of files are not allowed by WordPress, i have added a new mime type to solve this and i can upload the files from media library (backend), but when i try from frontend the system shows an error message because the type of file is not allowed. * I have installed the free version of the plugin, could i upload this type of files? how? * Thanks in advance. * Best regards.

Open the visual editor of the uploader form and set Allowed File Extensions like this: **\*.\*, \*.msg** 2. You need to create a hook to declare the correct MIME type of msg files. You can do this by installing Code Snippets plugin. Then create a new snippet and add the following code in it: * `if (!function_exists('wfu_extensions_mime_types_handler')) { function wfu_extensions_mime_types_handler( $list) { $list['msg'] = array( 'application/vnd.ms-outlook' ); return $list; } add_filter('_wfu_extensions_mime_types', 'wfu_extensions_mime_types_handler', 10, 1);} * Best Rergards * Nickolas * Thread Starter [mlmoreno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlmoreno/) * (@mlmoreno) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18030132) * Thank you very much Nickola. * The snippet works perfectly. Problem solved. * Best regards. * Thread Starter [mlmoreno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlmoreno/) * (@mlmoreno) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18031159) * Hi Nickola, * Sorry to bother you again. Is there any way to get the permalink of the uploaded file? I’ve seen that the plugin offers the possibility of displaying the path, but I would need the permalink.Thanks in advance.Kind regards. * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18031302) * Where do you want this to show?

They are formatted as .m4a and I recieve the following error message: _Error. This file was rejected because its MIME type is invalid. Its MIME type is: audio/x- m4a_ * I followed your instructions for the *.msg files above, but still am seeing the same error on *.m4a uploads. * I’m happy to start another thread, but I figured I’d post here as it’s a similar issue. I have the pro version, btw. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [mlmoreno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlmoreno/) * (@mlmoreno) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18032407) * Hi [@redsand78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redsand78/) * Have you tried the mime type audio/mp4? I read on [https://mimetype.io/audio/m4a](https://mimetype.io/audio/m4a) that audio/m4a is deprecated and they recommend using this. * Best regards. * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18038176) * Good afternoon [@mlmoreno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlmoreno/) , can you send me the shortcode of the upload form you use? * Best Regards * Nickolas * Thread Starter [mlmoreno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mlmoreno/) * (@mlmoreno) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-msg-files/#post-18038662) * Hi [@nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) yes of course: * [wordpress_file_upload uploadrole=”administrator,editor” uploadpatterns=”_*.*_,*. msg” createpath=”true” adminmessages=”true” placements=”filename+selectbutton +uploadbutton/progressbar/message” targetfolderlabel=”URL del archivo” successmessage =”Archivo %filename% cargado correctamente” warningmessage=”Archivo %filepath%\% filename% cargado pero con avisos” widths=”filename:350px, selectbutton:200px, uploadbutton:150px, progressbar:700px, message:700px” medialink=”true” postlink =”true”] * I am thinking if i add the url of my site to the success message, i would get the permalink, something like this: successmessage=”[https://my-site/wp-content/uploads/%filename%”](https://my-site/wp-content/uploads/%filename%”); * Thank you very much. * Best regards.
