Local Font Upload ttf file denied

Hi there,

Are you using any security plugins?

If not then I'd recommend checking with your hosting support.

Thanks

No problem :)

I have the same problem. Called to my hosting and they are not blocking that file. I installed wordpress in local and its also not working. ttf file denied.

I had to temporarily add the following code to wp-config.php:

define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

And then of course deleted it as soon as I had uploaded the font.

Hi there,

glad to hear you found a solution to the issue.
As a general note - if you have .woff and .woff2 variants of the font then .ttf isn't really required.

I´m having the same problem. Is there a way to add that code define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); with a snippet?

Hi there,

that code needs to go in the wp-config theres no snippet alternative for that.
Is it only the ttf file you're having an issue with ?

Hi David,
I´m sorry for the late reply, I was not home. It won´t allow me to upload the tff, woff and woff2 files, either using the media uploader nor through ftp connection. I can only upload the html and eot files from the unzipped folder. My hosting provider shouldn´t be the issue as they themselves have a couple of blog posts where they recommend their clients to self-host google fonts.

Hi Oliver,

Are you not able to access the wp-config through FTP? If not, can you reach out to your Hosting Provider for assistance with regards to accessing that file?

Hi Fernando, I didn´t know I should look for a config.php file and edit it, I thought that was something that could be done in the theme file editor.
Just to be sure, I connect via ftp, search for config.php, download a copy and add the code define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);, with notepad, upload the edited file after removing the original, upload the fonts, and edit the config.php to remove define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); and replace the newly edited file after deleting the file with the code.

You can also use a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-upload-types/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/

Yes, that's correct. You may learn more about the process here: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/sorry-this-file-type-is-not-permitted-for-security-reasons/#how

You may also try Rotyslav's suggestion if you don't want to do it that way.

Thanks a lot both of you guys, have a nice day.
