When adding the file type form field, all file types uploaded trigger an invalid file type error
Hi Greg,

It was a bug from our end and the fix was made into the core of EasySocial code. The fix will be included in the next release of EasySocial.

Hi Greg,

May I know what is the file extension that you are trying to upload? The allowed default extension is as follow:



zip,txt,pdf,gz,php,doc,docx,ppt,xls


I just tried to upload some files on your site with extension .txt and .pdf and it seems like the upload went just fine from my end. Refer to my video link here, https://take.ms/ebGTa.

I've tried jpg and pdf, Im attached screenshots of the backend form using the file field settings, you can see we have both jpg and pdf as the allowed type, I'm also adding a screen shot of the error we see

Hi Greg,

Ah, I see. It seems like I am able to replicate the issue locally. I have applied the fix on your site and the upload should go smoothly now.

Please give it a try and see how it goes.

Excellent, you are a rockstar that seems to have done the trick. What was the fix, was it a setting that I missed?
