Question

Photoshop to Wordpress error message Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.

I'm using Photoshop cc 2019 for editing my images then loading them to Wordpress for a web page.

I get this error message when loading the images " Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons. "
At first I thought it was a MIME problem...  it appears not to be.

I can download an image (png, jpg, etc.) from the web and upload without an issue, but when I adjust and upload an image to photoshop, edit, then try to upload to Wordpress media gallery I get this Sorry message.
I uploaded the same image to Gimp and tried to save as to change the file a little but got another error message from Gimp saying this.   - Could not read the contents of (file name)  error opening directory () Operation not permitted.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
I'm running a macOS Catalina computer...  Thanks for any solutions.

    After your edits are you saving to a web format via Export As...

      Thank You for responding, "I didn't see the Save for Web " at the Export window until you brought it up... and yes, that was my problem.
      I would have thought this function would have been intutively in the SAVE or SAVE AS functions.
      I found the link, but find it curious that it is now called to be a Legacy function...

      I need to look up now how to create a web optomised photo without using the Export, Save for Web (Legacy).
      Thanks again for your assitance.
