  Hi

  I upgraded today to 4.7.1 both on a localhost site, and a live site and I can’t update the SVG images anymore. I have a mime types code snippet in my functions.php that overrides the default denial of SVG uploads and this no longer works. I also tried a snippet off CSS tricks which had worked previously, but also now doesn’t and I tried the svg upload plugins in the repository, they don’t work anymore either.

  Please don’t tell me WordPress are going to ban SVG across the board. I do loads of design work and i’ll have to leave the platform if this is the case.

  Any further enlightenment would be wonderful.

  Thanks

  Paul

  This is known problem. There are currently two tickets for this in Core:

  • https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39550
  • https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39552

  So no worries. This issue will be probably be fixed in WordPress 4.7.2. Until then, you can use the following plugin as a workaround:
