## Description

Easily manage and customize allowed file types on your WordPress site. Add or remove
mime types, set file size limits, and control who can upload what — all from a simple
and intuitive interface.

** Version 2.0 will be in the mid of August 2025, and then this plugin will be actively
managed by owner. **

Perfect for developers, admins, and anyone who wants more control over media uploads.
