Media Library – Acceptable File Types

While attempting to upload some videos this week, WordPress did not allow me to upload certain file types. I found this helpful page and information:

I added the following code in the theme’s functions.php file to allow me to import my video files.

function my_myme_types($mime_types){
    $mime_types['f4v'] = 'video/f4v'; //Adding f4v extension
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);
