We are assuming you are already logged into your Joomla Admin Panel.

In order to specify what types of media can be uploaded to your site, you will need to set the allowed file extensions.

1) Click Site.

2) Then Global Configuration.

Scroll down.

You can also change the maximum file size and the paths to the media and image folders.

Scroll up.

6) Click Save.
