However, you may see this error if the file type is not supported by WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will show you how to easily fix \u2018Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons\u2019 error in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes the \u201cSorry, This File Type Is Not Permitted for Security Reasons\u201d Error?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The error \u201cSorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons\u201d appears when you try to upload a file type that WordPress does not support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have seen this error message appear when trying to add a new file in your Media Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/file-type-not-permitted-error-message.png\" alt=\"Uploading a file in Media Library that shows the file not permitted security message\" class=\"wp-image-87512\" title=\"Uploading a file in Media Library that shows the file not permitted security message\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For security reasons, WordPress restricts the file types you can upload through your WordPress admin. The permitted file types include all common images, video, document, and audio formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One solution to fix this problem is to upload the files through FTP or your WordPress hosting file manager section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is not as convenient as using the built-in WordPress media library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s take a look at how to fix the \u201cSorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons\u201d error in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Check and fix file type extension spelling<\/li><li>Allow new file types in WordPress with File Upload Types plugin<\/li><li>Keeping your website secure when allowing additional file types<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fixtypo\">Check and Fix the File Type Extension Spelling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are trying to upload a common file type that you have previously uploaded without seeing this error, then it is likely that you have misspelled the file extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A file extension is the 3 or 4 letter filetype suffix that appears at the end of file names on your computer. For instance, an image file may be named <em>holidayphoto.png<\/em> where <em>holidayphoto<\/em> is the file name and <em>png<\/em> is the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These extensions are used by many programs and applications including WordPress to recognize file types. Following are the default file types and extensions allowed by WordPress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Images:<\/strong> .png, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .ico<br><strong>Documents:<\/strong> .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .pps, .ppsx, .odt, .psd<br><strong>Audio:<\/strong> .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .ogg<br><strong>Video:<\/strong> .mp4, .m4v, .mpg, .mov, .wmv, .avi, .ogv, .3gp, .3g2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Although you can upload videos to WordPress, we always recommend uploading your videos to a video hosting site instead. This helps protect your website\u2019s speed and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get this error, the first thing we recommend is checking the file extension to make sure it is correct. Sometimes, you may accidentally delete a file name extension or mistype it while editing or saving a file on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Windows 10, you can easily check file extensions. Simply open the folder that contains your file and click on the \u2018View\u2019 link at the top of the window. From here, you need to check the \u2018File name extensions\u2019 box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/show-file-extensions-windows.png\" alt=\"Setting file extensions to display after your filenames\" class=\"wp-image-87721\" title=\"Setting file extensions to display after your filenames\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After checking that box, you will now see the extension after file names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/file-extension-displaying-windows.png\" alt=\"The file extension is now displaying\" class=\"wp-image-87722\" title=\"The file extension is now displaying\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This will show the extension for all files on your computer, not just the ones in this folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mac users can view file extensions by opening the Finder app and going to <strong>Finer \u00bb Preferences<\/strong> from the top menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/show-file-extension-on-mac.jpg\" alt=\"Show file extension on Mac\" class=\"wp-image-87763\" title=\"Show file extension on Mac\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will bring up the Preferences popup where you need to click on the \u2018Advanced\u2019 tab and make sure that the box next to <em>\u2018Show all filename extensions\u2019<\/em> option is checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you can view the file name extensions, locate the file you were trying to upload and make sure it has the correct extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the extension is incorrect, then you can simply right-click and select the \u2018Rename\u2019 option to change the file name and add the correct extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fileuploadtypes\">Allow New File Types in WordPress with the File Upload Types Plugin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are uploading a file type that is not supported by WordPress, then you can still upload it by adding it as a supported file type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The File Upload Types plugin is the easiest way to fix the \u201cSorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons\u201d error. This was co-created by WPBeginner\u2019s founder, Syed Balkhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to install and activate the File Upload Types plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon activation, go to the <strong>Settings \u00bb File Upload Types<\/strong> page in your WordPress admin area. Then, simply type your file type into the search box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn3.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/file-upload-types-search.png\" alt=\"Search for the file type you want to enable\" class=\"wp-image-87515\" title=\"Search for the file type you want to enable\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, check the box next to the file type(s) that you want to enable and click on the \u2018Save Settings\u2019 button at the bottom of the screen to store your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/enable-file-types.png\" alt=\"Enabling your chosen file type in File Upload Types\" class=\"wp-image-87516\" title=\"Enabling your chosen file type in File Upload Types\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, go ahead and return to the media library. You will be able to add your file(s) without getting an error message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.wpbeginner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/succesfully-upload-new-file-type.png\" alt=\"Successfully uploading your file without getting a security error message\" class=\"wp-image-87517\" title=\"Successfully uploading your file without getting a security error message\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"filesecurity\">Keeping Your WordPress Site Secure When Permitting Additional File Types<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason WordPress blocks many file types is to help keep your WordPress website secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enable additional file types, we strongly advise that you take some security measures to protect your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Restrict non-registered users, so they can only upload the file types that they need to upload.
