File Upload Field > Allowed file types >  Allow all file types
However, it does not accept ".stp" files which are required for my clients, who are engineers and need cad drawings in order to provide a quote to their clients.
It has worked before, but now it no longer accepts this type of file.
Receiving "File Upload is invalid" error message.
File is only 1.3 MB in size.
Can you please help?

You will need to use something like this to add the file type: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-mime-types/#:~:text=Usage,list%20at%20the%20red%20color. and then your form should allow the upload.  That's not a native file format for the web.

Still getting the same error after installing plugin recommended.

Did you add the file type in that plugin?

Just did, and it works perfectly 🙂 Thank you!
