I inherited a site from another developer that has version 1.5.6 of WP Data Tables installed on it. I'm now getting this error when I try to upload an Excel file - Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.
I don't see a way to update the plugin though. It's not the lite version. Is there anyway I can update? And will updating fix the error do you think? We were able to upload files in Oct. 17, the last time we tried.
This problem is related to WordPress and not to our plugin. Basically you need to allow some file type to be uploaded to wordpress which you can do on various ways and some of them could be found in this tutorial.
For the update there is two ways to do it. First would be to add purchase code to Settings page of our plugin and this will enable auto update functionality and second whould be to download latest version from Envato market download section and update plugin manually following this tutorial
