I have used this for years. In the settings, I always have exe,zip as file types. Everything was fine last week then I updated to the latest Download Manager and now it tells me “Upload blocked. The file type is invalid—the file extension does not match the actual content type.”
If I put the exe file into a zip file it uploads find but then on the download page it says “FIle cannot be downloaded.
I tried a file that I used last week and same thing. It is definitely the update.
Version 3.3.14
Wordpress version 6.8
Can I roll back?
Thank you
Hello Tom Blahovici,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. if possible, can you please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply to check the issue?
Thank you and regards
Hi
Temporary? How do I do that? Do we talk on the phone? Are you willing to sign a document stating that you will pay for all repairs that may be needed in case something goes wrong?
Not a chance.
Why don’t you just try to upload a exe file yourself? It uploads then immediately give the error in your plugin . Previously loaded files are fine. They can be downloaded with no issues. It’s only files that have been uploaded since a few days and after I did your update.
Please provide a link to the previous version. I’ll see it it does it. If so it could be the new WordPress install as well.
Sorry for the inconveneince. Please kindly let me know if you are using the free/Pro version, please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Free version.

For exe file type issue, Please kindly
use this hook add_filter("wpdm_is_valid_mime_type", '__return_true'); in your active theme functions.php file. Please kindly check.

This solution works for me
