A few suggestions and bug report
by Abdolaziz·7 months ago
Hello
Thanks for your awesome plugin.
I use it in my marketplace. There are a few suggestions.
- [BUG] Even though I deselected all the image formats, I/users can upload .json files.

This is probably the only one of its kind on the wordpress plugin market and I am so happy it not only works, but that it had been updated. Works perfectly fine for WordPress 6.6. Thank you so much for this!
