Note: Adding arbitrary file types will not work unless a corresponding function is also hooked to upload_mimes filter. See the wp_get_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php for the current default set of supported mime-types / file extensions. Adding mime types in the 'upload file types' field not listed in the default set will NOT work unless you've added them using the upload_mimes filter! Uploading files with mime types not supported (without adding them using the filter) will fail with the message 'Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.'
