AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
File Upload Types by WPForms is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 20 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WordPress File Uploads Work By default, WordPress only allows certain file types to be uploaded to your website’s media library.
If someone tries to upload a file type outside of these whitelisted WordPress file extensions, this can be the cause of the common WordPress error Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons message.
It can be frustrating if you’ve created a file upload form in WordPress but the file type you want to accept is a file extension that’s not allowed.
This plugin lets your website upload more file types beyond the limited file extension types that WordPress allows by default.
How does the File Upload Types plugin work? The File Upload Types plugin works by letting you adjust the internal file whitelist, letting you manually control which types of file extensions your WordPress website can upload.
This way, you can accept any file type through your website and/or any contact form plugin like WPForms.
