Add .PDF Media Type To The WP Media Manager

WordPress support by default three media types: images, audio and video. And, if you want to add .PDF file type support, you can add this code in the current theme’s functions.php file. Within this function, you can select the file type using the mime type slug, the slug for PDFs is ‘application/pd’.

[php]
function mynew_post_mime_types( $post_mime_types ) {
$post_mime_types[‘application/pdf’] = array( __( ‘PDFs’ ), __( ‘Manage PDFs’ ), _n_noop( ‘PDF <span class="count">(%s)</span>’,
‘PDFs <span class="count">(%s)</span>’ ) );
return $post_mime_types;
}
/** Add Filter Hook */
add_filter( ‘post_mime_types’, ‘mynew_post_mime_types’ );
[/php]
