Allow SVG upload in EE

Question

I'm trying to allow SVG uploads via the file fieldtype (EE 2.9.2), but it gives me an error:

The file type you are attempting to upload is not allowed.

I have updated mimes.php with the following additions:

'svgz' => 'image/svg+xml',
'svg' => 'image/svg+xml'

but this has made no difference. I have also tried disabling XSS filtering in the EE CP - also does not work.

Finally, I added the following to config.php:

$config['allowed_types'] = 'svg';

And this does not work either. How can I get this working?

Answer 1

The svg files is considered as text/html mime type by the finfo_file().

So you need to set Allowed File Types as All file types inside File Upload Preferences to allow svg file uploads.

Answer 2

Have you tried creating a .htaccess file with

AddType image/svg+xml svg
AddType image/svg+xml svgz
