Text file upload issue

It hasn’t been removed entirely — but the ability to upload a text file depends on which part of the interface you’re in and what the current settings allow.

Here’s why you might be seeing only the photo option:

✅ 1. Image-only upload context

Some parts of the interface (e.g., inserting a profile/cover image, posts that only allow rich media images) only allow pictures, not files of other types.

In those areas, a text file upload simply isn’t enabled by design — so it looks like the option was “removed,” but it really wasn’t present for that context.

✅ 2. Text file upload is supported only in certain editors

If you’re using a chat/message input or a file-attachment field, you should see an icon/button for uploading files. In some pages or widgets (like a simple photo card), that button isn’t shown because it’s not applicable.

✅ 3. Permissions/settings

Depending on how your website/web app is configured, text file uploads may be:
– disabled
– limited to specific user roles
– hidden behind a different button

🔍 How to tell if it’s supported

If you’re in a place where file uploads should work (e.g., a chat box or comment editor), you usually see:
– 📎 paperclip icon
– “Attach file” or “Upload file” text
– drag-and-drop area that accepts anything (text, PDF, etc.)

In contrast, an image-only uploader will only have a camera/photo icon.

If you want to test it

Try this:
1. Go to a place where attachments are expected (like a comment or chat input)
2. Look for a paperclip or “Upload file” option next to the image icon
3. If it’s not there, then that interface doesn’t allow text file uploads right now

Bottom line

> Text file upload hasn’t been universally removed — it’s just not enabled in the specific interface you’re seeing.

If you tell me where you’re trying to upload the text file (website section/page/editor), I can give you more specific guidance on whether it should be possible — and how to access that functionality if it’s hidden or moved.
