 > Hello,
 > I'm also having problems after 4.7.1 update with uploading non image
 files.

 {{{$real_mime}}} using {{{finfo_file}}}

 on 5.2.17.
 > Maybe that's the peroblem? I think that {{{function_exists( 'finfo_file'
 )}}} should then return {{{false}}}, but it returns {{{true}}}. But I'm
 not a PHP developer so thats not the staff I really understand.

 Seems to work after I asked to move my website to newer server (5.4)
