Add MIME Types

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   How to configure a custom type was a bit unclear, but I figured it out and it worked. Thank you! In the custom settings, I added heif = image/heif heic = image/heic (You have to keep all your custom additions in that box. Don’t “add” one, then change it and “add” that one as well, or you’ll lose the first one.) The other plugins I could not get to work for me were: – File Upload Types by Wpforms – WP Extra File Types (for HEIC)

   I tried editing theme function file and another plugin – WP Extra File Types – to allow to upload .xlsb and .xlsm file types. Despite these file types appear on standard file types permitted to be uplpoades, I dont think they are part of standard file upload types, at least not with latest WordPress version. WP Add Mime Types was the only plugin which finally worked.Thank you for a great plugin!

   I’ve been searching for a solution to uploading vector files (.ai & .eps) using a Gravity Form on my website. This is the easiest and only solution I have been able to find. Wish I had have found this right off the start, would have saved a lot of time and headache!
