Dear Madam or Sir,

I have defined a toolset post type including a custom image field. For some reason, when creating objects of that type in the backend, toolset does not allow me to insert .tiff files into that field, with the message tiffs are not correct images. The wordpress installation itself allows tiffs, I can insert them into the media folder. So it seems the toolset image field is restricted to png, jpg and so one. Is there a possibility to overcome this limitation? The site is for a Media Publisher context, and they need to manage and store tiff Files for their production workflow.

Any help would be welcome. Thank you very much in advance.

Dear Robert,

Wordpress does not support tiff file by default, see WP document:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_Files

But you can use WP filter hook to add it, for example:

function my_myme_types($mime_types){
    $mime_types = array_merge($mime_types, array(
        'tif|tiff' => 'image/tiff'
    ));
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_myme_types', 1, 1);
