Correct Audio/Video Uploads

Recent minor updates for WordPress introduced a couple of regressions when uploading audio and video files:

• On WordPress 4.3.x and earlier branches, audio/video files cannot be uploaded at all due to a fatal error.

  Full list of affected versions: 3.7.19, 3.8.19, 3.9.17, 4.0.16, 4.1.16, 4.2.13, 4.3.9.

  This will be fixed in the next minor update, see the Trac ticket #40085.

• On WordPress 4.4.x and later branches, audio/video files are uploaded with corrupted thumbnails.

  Full list of affected versions: 4.4.8, 4.5.7, 4.6.4, 4.7.3.

  This will be fixed in the next minor update, see the Trac ticket #40075.

In the meantime, this plugin is a workaround that solves both issues and restores the upload functionality for audio and video files.

Don’t forget to remove the plugin once the next minor WordPress update is available!

1. Upload correct-audio-video-uploads folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
