Hey Guys,
Can add SVG logo on my web. I’m using Integrity main theme, i accomplished that by adding this function to child theme:
function cc_mime_types($mimes) {
$mimes[‘svg’] = ‘image/svg+xml’;
return $mimes;
}
add_filter(‘upload_mimes’, ‘cc_mime_types’);
But my menu disappeared and instead i’m getting assign menu. Can i modify this function or there are other ways of adding svg files.

Thank you

Hello!

Just following this thread…

I want to use svg file in my logo.

Already added this code to my child theme functions.php

function cc_mime_types($mimes) {
$mimes[‘svg’] = ‘image/svg+xml’;
return $mimes;
}
add_filter(‘upload_mimes’, ‘cc_mime_types’);

However, when trying to upload the file, wordpress says that the file it is not allowed due to security reasons…

Can you help?

Thanks!

Hi @guirot

Thanks for updating. It should work –

function cc_mime_types($mimes) {
  $mimes['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
  return $mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'cc_mime_types');

You can follow this for other solutions – https://css-tricks.com/snippets/wordpress/allow-svg-through-wordpress-media-uploader/

Also this third party plugin might help – https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-full-svg-support/

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hello!

I have pasted again and now is working.

However, one more question: I have seen that SVG files are said to be a security hole for the website due to XML. Which are your suggestions? Is it worth to use SVG??

Thanks for your help!

Oliver.

Hi Oliver,

You can some svg sanitizer, please refer to the link below for more information.

Hope that helps.

OK. Great!

However, let´s see what do you think:

I have added your code, uploaded the svg file as logo, and later removed your code. SVG file still there as a logo, and security risk is gone due that I am not allowing more uploads. (code has been removed).

As soon as the svg logo displays correctly, maybe is better solution for me??

Thanks!
