Allow certain user roles to upload non-default files

[abmex]

Hi, I have a question or issue I need to resolve.
The website I’m working on is supposed to allow certain user roles the upload of specific files (.rpt).
While researching it I found this code (I’m not a PHP coder):
******************************************************************
add_filter( ‘upload_mimes’, ‘my_myme_types’, 1, 1 );
function my_myme_types( $mime_types ) {
$mime_types[‘rpt’] = ‘application/rpt’; // Adding .rpt extension

unset( $mime_types[‘xls’] ); // Remove .xls extension
unset( $mime_types[‘xlsx’] ); // Remove .xlsx extension

return $mime_types;
}
******************************************************************

Now this works great, but only for administrators. It doesn’t work for any other user role.
I need it to work for Editors, Authors, or Custom User roles.

Can anybody offer advice?

Hi,

Is it a single or multisite WordPress installation?

Btw., there is no item with ‘xls’ key in the list of allowed mime types. You should use this one instead:

unset( $mime_types['xla|xls|xlt|xlw'']


Full list of mime types allowed at WP by default is available here.
