just wanted to report that the workaround with the blob-mimes plugin Lord of the Files: Enhanced Upload Security solved the issue and the test.dotx file uploaded successfully now.

are you sure that wp does not allow .dotx?

because i did this without any mime type plugin on 6.0

function my_file_mime_types( $mime_types ) {
    file_put_contents( 'D:\wordpress\actual_wp_mimetypes.txt', print_r($mime_types,true) );
    return $mime_types;
}; add_filter( 'upload_mimes', 'my_file_mime_types' );

and this is the result

so it seems newer wp does know a lot mime types on its own, anyway, the point is, the mime type is actually there for all the office file types.

yet still i cannot upload the file test.dotx wich is only 12kb big.

i even did this to try to debug further

function my_check_filetype( $return, $file, $filename, $mimes, $realmime ) {
    file_put_contents( 'D:\wordpress\upload_handle.txt', print_r($return,true), FILE_APPEND );
    return $return;
}; add_filter( 'wp_check_filetype_and_ext', 'my_check_filetype', 10, 5 );

but the result is always empty for the dotx file, probably because wp is not allowing it to further process… other type like docx are working here in this filter…

Array
(
    [ext] => 
    [type] => 
    [proper_filename] => 
)

so i installed the plugin WP Add Mime Types and enabled all options in the plugin settings do get a debug log. and this is the result with this plugin:

string(117) "WordPress recognizes that the file type is [application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document]."

Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.

just so you know that the underlying server is not preventing here anything, with this wp define the upload succeeds:
define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

but that cannot be the best solution because with this i am allowing any file type

would you please help me identify this issue? how can i debug this further?

is this plugin dead or does the developer have no time anymore?

anyway i found the option in the pj news ticker settings, it is called Gap Between Cycles? set this to False and now the ticker is almost infinite.

almost because the ticker still jumps a couple pixels at the end because the Custom Separator chars

Hi,

thank you for help, that did work indeed.

yet this leaves a mega menu arrow > on the parent that indicates a child item. do you have a tip for this too?
