Description
With the upgrade to WordPress 4.7.1, some non-image files fail to upload on certain server setups. This will be fixed in 4.7.3, see the Trac ticket.
In the meantime, this plugin is a workaround that disables the recently introduced strict MIME check to restore the upload functionality.
Don’t forget to remove the plugin once WordPress 4.7.3 is available!

works in WP 6.1 and WC 7.5
IDK if it's a bug in WC or something, but I can't upload .csv files, had to hook this in so I can update some prices... very helpful!
