Add additional upload file types to CRED Form

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

We need to allow extra file types uploads through the File Upload Field (on the Front-End Forms).

You can try with another plugin to add mime type into your website, for example:

Hello,
We need to allow .ai, .eps, and .svg file uploads through the File Upload Field (on the Front-End Forms). I've tried the method noted under this support ticket: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cannot-upload-gpx-file-in-the-front-end/

Here is the code I added based on the support forum article:

add_filter('mime_types','add_custom_mime_types');
function add_custom_mime_types($mime_types){
$mime_types['eps'] = 'application/postscript';
$mime_types['ai'] = 'application/postscript';
$mime_types['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
return $mime_types;
}

When we test the form, we receive an errors message that says, "Error Some Required Upload Field Failed".

Can you advise how to make this work correctly? Thanks.

Hello,

The custom codes you mentioned above is outdated, please try to use another plugin to add mime type into your website, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/

I have tried above plugin in my localhost, it works fine, for example:
ai = application/postscript
