  Hi all, I’m hoping to find a way to upload epub files to my wordpress site. I’ve tried a couple of plugins that claim to do this but those plugins don’t seem supported anymore and they didn’t work. Has anyone found a way to upload that type of file?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Georges,

  EPUB file types on WordPress.com aren’t the default accepted file types. Since your site supports plugins, you can add custom MIME types to allow .epub uploads with a plugin.
  
  Here are three options you can install from Plugins → Add New; each page lists details and setup steps:
  
  1. https://wordpress.com/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/
  
  2. https://wordpress.com/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/
  
  3. https://wordpress.com/plugins/mime-types-plus/
  
  These are third-party plugins, so while we can offer general guidance, we can’t troubleshoot their code. Be sure you trust the source and do your due diligence to understand exactly what file type you’re enabling before uploading them to your site. Hope this helps!
