- Price: free (GPL-2.0)
- Version: 1.0

## What it does

WordPress doesn't accept `.json` uploads out of the box. I built this to upload **Lottie animation** files, which are JSON — it simply adds the JSON MIME type so the media library takes them.

- Enables `.json` uploads in the **media library**.
- Made for **Lottie** animations, and works for any other JSON file.
- **No settings** — activate it and upload.

## Setup

1. **Install it.** In WordPress go to **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**, choose the `.zip` you downloaded and click **Install Now**.
2. **Activate it** from the same screen (or later from **Plugins**). No settings page to configure.
3. **Upload your file.** Go to **Media → Add New** (or any media picker) and upload your `.json` file like you would an image.
