Following feedback from customers, we’re pleased to make media imports even easier on the VIP Platform. We have now removed all limits for what file types can be imported using our VIP-CLI tool.

Previously our import tool matched the default limitations in WordPress, allowing the import of files as long as they matched a list of allowed file types. Uploading disallowed file types prior to this update required contacting support. After consultation on the security implications, we are happy to remove this restriction allowing any file of any type to be imported using the vip import media command provided by our CLI.

No updates to the VIP CLI are necessary for you to benefit from this improvement.
We’re always pleased to receive feedback from customers and improve our product to make your work easier. Our documentation on media imports contains more details, and please reach out to us if you have any questions!
