Yes and Yes!

If you find yourself getting an 'Invalid File' error when trying to upload your files to your Concrete5 website, try checking the 'Allowed File Types' to see if you have included the file type you wish to upload.

By default, Concrete5 includes over 35 file types for you too choose from, however, you may find yourself using some obscure file type that isn't available in the list. This is an easy fix and should take you no more than 30 seconds!



1. Go to Dashboard ->

2. System and Settings ->

3. Permissions & Access->

4. 'Allowed File Types'... see if you have any file types listed.

If not; add the following file types-

flv, jpg, gif, jpeg, ico, docx, xla, png, psd, swf, doc, txt, xls, xlsx, csv, pdf, tiff, rtf, m4a, mov, wmv, mpeg, mpg, wav, avi, m4v, mp4, mp3, qt, ppt, pptx, kml, xml


If your filetype isn't there, simply add it to the list. Separate with comma's.

Once you've added your file type, go back to the file manager and try uploading the file again. It should now work!

Thank you, for some reason by default there was no allowed file types there, but I did exactly what you said and now everything works thank you so much.
