 I previously added
 define( 'ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true );
 to wp-config.php so that I could upload binary executable into the media
 library. These executable files are installers for the software my lab
 develops and which is used by thousands of users around the world.
 As I am trying to release a new version I tried to upload the new
 installers and no matter what I do I get "Sorry, this file type is not
 permitted for security reasons".
 I really see no reason why the site admin should be prevented to upload
 something into his own site.
 I am using version 5.8.2 of wordpress which does not appear in the Version
 pull down below, and Avada and a multisite installation.
