Adding & removing allowed filetypes to media library in wordpress

Adding & removing allowed filetypes to the media library in WordPress

I allowed .msg file of outlook in wordpress upload media.

write this code in function.php

function my_myme_types($mime_types){
//Creating a new array will reset the allowed filetypes
$mime_types = array(
'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'png' => 'image/png',
'bmp' => 'image/bmp',
'tif|tiff' => 'image/tiff',
'msg' => 'application/vnd.ms-outlook'
);
return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);

Other file types:

'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
'swf' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
'mov|qt' => 'video/quicktime',
'flv' => 'video/x-flv',
'js' => 'application/javascript',
'avi' => 'video/avi',
'divx' => 'video/divx',
'msg' => 'application/vnd.ms-outlook',

——————————————————————————–

see other examples

function my_myme_types($mime_types){

//Adjust the $mime_types, which is an associative array where the key is extension and value is mime type.

return $mime_types;

}

add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);

function my_myme_types($mime_types){

$mime_types['avi'] = 'video/avi'; //Adding avi extension

unset($mime_types['pdf']); //Removing the pdf extension

return $mime_types;

}

add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);

function my_myme_types($mime_types){

//Creating a new array will reset the allowed filetypes

$mime_types = array(

'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg',

'gif' => 'image/gif',

'png' => 'image/png',

'bmp' => 'image/bmp',

'tif|tiff' => 'image/tiff'

);

return $mime_types;

}

add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);

Reference:

function wp_check_filetype( $filename, $mimes = null ) {
        // Accepted MIME types are set here as PCRE unless provided.
        $mimes = ( is_array( $mimes ) ) ? $mimes : apply_filters( 'upload_mimes', array(
                'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg',
