Posted on Posted in News, Uncategorized

In latest WordPress versions starting from 3.6.1, .swf extention is no longer allowed by default. WordPress has disabled swf file uploads for security reasons. Please refer to http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.6.1 for more details.

But still if you want to uload the swf file as a banner on your site – please do below mentioned changes.

Open functions.php file from WPAdCenter folder and add new function to it

if ( !function_exists( ‘WPAdCenter_addSwf’ ) )
{
function WPAdCenter_addSwf($mimes) {
if ( function_exists( ‘current_user_can’ ) )
$unfiltered = $user ? user_can( $user, ‘unfiltered_html’ ) : current_user_can( ‘unfiltered_html’ );
if ( !empty( $unfiltered ) ) {
$mimes[‘swf’]= ‘application/x-shockwave-flash’;
}
return $mimes;
}
add_filter(‘upload_mimes’,’WPAdCenter_addSwf’);
}

This will solve the problem. If still, you are facing any issue, please contact us
