Error uploading .woff

[dani]

Hi Forum,

I get this error when trying to upload a .woff file using the webfonts feature.

SuperGroteskA-RgLF.woff
Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Daniel

I got the same error but found a plug-in to get .woff uploaded. The plug-in's called "Unsafe Mimetypes" (to allow all types of file uploads).

But it didn't not solve the problem. I could upload woff files but when I tried to define a new text format wp told me that's a "wrong woff file".

maybe worth trying .woff2 files?

Hey!

So I found out this is a bug with the latest version of WordPress:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/252143/svg-files-not-uploading-since-most-recent-wp-update

They suggest you should install this plugin for now to make it work again: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/

I activated the plugin but it's still not working :(

I got this message: "Not a .woff font. Can't use this file because it's not a .woff font."

I wrote you a email armin.
