It has happened to may multiple times. It's the right type of saved image: ".jpg" but it claims it's not. The way I've tried to go around it is by bringing up the image on my screen, ctrl+screen, paste it onto MS Paint and crop it then save it again as .jpg and it works. But another member on the forums also pointed out that they can't upload an AVY that's .jpg for the same issue I'm bringing up. Is there anything that we're missing as to why it's doing this?
For example:

It looks like there is an issue with the case of the .jpg extension. It should be case sensitive, but you may have found a bug.

boRg, doesn't WWF reads the file and just not the extension to determine the file type?

I have done some testing and the upload extension check is not case sensitive so that shouldn't matter. Yes there are checks done on the structure of the file as there are some XSS hacks in some browsers where you can discuss malicious code within a file of a different type. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| Thanks for looking into it. Hopefully it may be something that you can fix and not that much of an issue. |

From my experience if there is anything wrong in the image, doesn't matter whatever extension it is, WWF define the uploaded image is of a wrong file type. Even with WWF v9.04 I had this message while uploading a picture of Fleece Jacket for a Factory profile. The image had the extension .JPG but it was not JPG or GIF or PNG. to say exactly it was bad formatted JPG. So, WWF generated the error. So, from my experience, it is not or never a bug. But I am sure boRg will define what it is more perfectly. -XIV- you can use a graphics converter to convert your image to JPG and then upload it. Hopefully, you won't see any error message. Do not use Photoshop/Firefox. It's an editor, not a converter. I didn't have proper results from them. I use 'IrfanView' to convert images. http://www.irfanview.com - www.irfanview.com - it's free and tiny. ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/"> Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

boRg, I thing in case of bad structured image is found while uploading, you should consider using a better descriptive text string with the error message.

I got the same problem. Trying to upload a PDF-file, and get the same error.
I have v.9.06
Is there a fix for this?

This issue of uploading images was found and only effected some servers and was fixed in 9.06, if you have an issue uploading PDF's then it will be a completely separate issue. You should first check that you have allowed PDF's as an upload type, and if you still have issue start a new topic as this is a different issue to the image one posted here which has been fixed. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I'm using 9.06 and can not upload certain jpg files either. I think I found the common denominator amongst the files that won't upload. They are files that I altered in photoshop then saved. Not necessarily files that I converted to jpg from another format.
I tried some images that I could upload with the last version and they would not upload on the new 9.06 version.

| I just upgraded from 8 to 9 and cannot upload pdf files. It claims wrong type! I looked at everything and this has to be a bug in the upgrade. Please let us know what to do to fix this. |
