Unable to upload SVGs after update

Resolved

(@eekimbo)

Since updating to WordPress version 6.7.2, I am no longer able to upload SVG files to the Media Library.

WordPress: 6.7.2
SVG Support: 2.5.14
PHP: 8.1.29

I do not see any error messages when trying to upload directly into the media library – but the upload still fails. When I try to upload from a page or post I see this error:

The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2560 pixels.

Error logs on the server show this:

Not even sure where to start to begin debugging on this one, any suggestions?

EDIT: example SVG that fails to upload

I accidentally posted my solution on another thread, but here is what I had posted.

This appears to have been an issue with how the site was interacting with the file system. This issue was fixed after I changed the permissions for the /wp-content folder to allow direct updates, and added:
```
/** sets the plugins to interact with the files directly instead of using FTP */define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
```
To the wp-config.php file.
