How to Add support of Uploading .pdf Files in WordPress

Just received a request by contact form, to write a post about adding .pdf file in the Media uploader of WordPress, so here it is. Working lat at night though it feels awesome :)

How to Add support of Uploading .pdf Files in WordPress

Add the following function in your theme’s funstions.php file just before the ?> symbol and you are done

[ad]

function add_pdf_support( $post_mime_types ) {

	// select the mime type, here: 'application/pdf'
	// then we define an array with the label values

	$post_mime_types['application/pdf'] = array( __( 'PDFs' ), __( 'Manage PDFs' ), _n_noop( 'PDF <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'PDFs <span class="count">(%s)</span>' ) );

	// then we return the $post_mime_types variable
	return $post_mime_types;

}

// Add Filter Hook
add_filter( 'post_mime_types', 'add_pdf_support' );
[ad]

I hope it works well at your end.

Catch you all later.
