    Could upload to this destination before but today via File Manager and Create entries I get the following 2 different errors

    File Manager reports - The file could not be written to disk

    But via entry creation form field I get - file type you are attempting to upload is not allowed

    The file upload destination is set to all types?
    Folder on server is 755

    thanks again
    Adam

    Hi Adam,

    Are you uploading the file as a Superadmin? Try turning off Apply XSS Filtering to uploaded files? in Admin > Security and Privacy > Security and Sessions.

    Hard to tell… but glad it’s working now. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
