Can't upload GIF because of "security reasons"

[Miquel Pérez]

Every time I try to upload a gif it fails with this message: "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons".

I create the gif with photoshop and have tried every option possible. Even tried it to upload it to giphy, download it, and re-upload it again in case of any format issues and nothing either.

Dear Miquel

@Miquel-Pérez

This is likely not a Lay Theme issue but wordpress related. The allowed files types can be edited within the wp-config.php file. (outside lay theme files)

I would suggest contacting your Webhost or domain provider and asking them for support.

Dear @Miquel-Pérez

The Files are located on a server then. They should be accessible from the Control Panel of your Webhost.

Usually it's called FTP manager or something Similar. Within Wordpress' root folder should be a wp-config.php file.

I would be very careful if you are unsure what to do as this could lead to errors that will require a fresh re-install of Wordpress ( lose all content within ).

If unsure, most popular Web hosts offer support and can help you with these kinds of questions.
