WP Extra File Types


Works partially. With correct mime type, yes you can upload new files as "documents", but they are either refused in the end, or renamed into TIF extension if the mimtype is image.



impossible to insert them as attachement in a post.



there is a better plugin out there that creates posts for that purpose.


does not work, as expected

Plugin to let you extend the list of allowed file types supported by the Wordpress Media Library

Mime Types Plus

The UI is unclear. There are greyed-out checkboxes beside the types which are recognized by WordPress already. You can NEVER enable or disable them, so showing disabled checkboxes beside them is confusing, as it implies there's some way to enable them, but there isn't. Just LIST the built-in types, please, without implying that they can be edited. Also label them as the built-in types.
Checking a box beside something is generally considered to mean that you're enabling it. Here, checking a box means you want to delete it. Counterintuitive. Please use a red-X or minus control rather than a checkbox to mark things for deletion.
It would be VERY HELPFUL to have a built-in list of the more common unrecognized filetypes that could be enabled with one click or check, rather than having to look up the MIME type online every time. epub, mobi, and azw formats in particular.



Does the job but could be greatly improved

Add the mime type that can be used in the media library to each file type.
