So today I built a profile management server which is basically wordpress running on the excellent turnkey appliance, to get the .mobileconfig profile payloads uploaded I needed to edit my wp-config php file.
To do this connect via webmin or ftp, browse to your config file and add the following line below 🙂
Allow All File Types
There are two ways to override this. The easy way is adding the following line into your wp-config.php
define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);
Allow Specific File Types
The other way is to add custom WordPress hook in your themes functions.php file
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes');
function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
// add your extension to the array
$existing_mimes['deb'] = 'application/x-deb';
// add as many as you like
// removing existing file types
unset( $existing_mimes['exe'] );
// add as many as you like
// and return the new full result
return $existing_mimes;
}
The second method is better because you can restrict only the file types you want, but if you have site where your publishers upload may types of document you can disable the restriction from wp-config.php
