It worked for HEIF and HEIC after trying two others
by IntegriTivity·3 years ago
How to configure a custom type was a bit unclear, but I figured it out and it worked.
Thank you!
In the custom settings, I added
heif = image/heif
heic = image/heic(You have to keep all your custom additions in that box. Don’t “add” one, then change it and “add” that one as well, or you’ll lose the first one.)
The other plugins I could not get to work for me were:
– File Upload Types by Wpforms
– WP Extra File Types (for HEIC)
