File Uploader for Lottie Animations

Description

A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin that enables the uploading of Lottie animations (JSON files) to your WordPress Media Library.

Features

  • JSON File Support: By default, WordPress restricts the uploading of .json files for security reasons. This plugin safely adds json to the allowed upload MIME types.
  • Accurate File Typing: Ensures that WordPress correctly validates and interprets Lottie files as application/json during the upload check process.

Does it work with third-party Lottie blocks?

Yes! Because the .json files are properly uploaded into the WordPress Media Library with the correct application/json MIME type, you can use the file URLs in any third-party Lottie block or page builder widget.
