Comment:

 Hi @acbaile, thanks for the ticket!

 `.cpp` files are not in the list of file types that WordPress allows to be
 uploaded by default.

 There is no setting to enable this, but it could be allowed using the
 `mime_types` filter
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.9.5/src/wp-
 includes/functions.php#L2413).

 Make sure you give proper consideration to the file type you are
 whitelisting, and who you are allowing to upload.
