inability to upload .ttf fonts to media library

[acsgaffney]

I seem to be unable to upload .ttf or .otf filetype fonts to the media library. Each time I try, I receive the following message:

.woff and .woff2 fonts upload fine, however converting each and every font file I have to these formats is beyond my time and the filesize limit of most conversion sites. please advise.

using Lay Theme on Firefox 82.0.3 (64-bit) on macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Dear @acsgaffney

What happens when you upload it as a .zip file? do you have the same issue? :)

Hey @acsgaffney & @Richard-Keith

I had the same issue and found a solution somewhere on the internet. What helped at my page was:

• open the wp-config.php

• navigate to

$table_prefix = 'xyz_';

/**
 * Für Entwickler: Der WordPress-Debug-Modus.

• add the following in between

define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

• so it looks like this:

$table_prefix = 'xyz_';

define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

/**
 * Für Entwickler: Der WordPress-Debug-Modus.

• then, I could upload the .ttf file.

After uploading the .ttf, I deleted this line again from the config file, as I am not sure, if this will lead to any other security-related-issues on the Wordpress site...
