Media attachment is not a hot link

  • I attached a PDF document to a post using the Add Media “star”, then using the browser uploader. When I “add to post”, the title shows up in the content box, but it is not a blue link to the document. On second try, it looks ok in the media gallery, but not on the page.

    I will link the page here, but note that the earlier PDF (CONSTITUTION, added last week with 2.6) shows up fine. It’s the one named NOMINATIONS FORM that I’m trying to add now that I’ve upgraded to 2.7.

    Any suggestions?

  • I’m getting exactly the same error. In WP 2.6 if I uploaded a file it would link to it in the post, but after installing 2.7 it just displays the title as text. This occurs after selecting ‘Insert into post’ in the add media dialogue.

    The file is uploaded into the media gallery ok, and I can download the file again if I click view. So it’s uploaded ok, but just not providing a link. Images work fine, and put the image in the post as it should do.

    Does it work properly for anyone? Or is this a bug with 2.7

    Please, does anyone else have this problem? Or is it a setup issue that I’m having?

    Just worked it out. There are some options that were filled in for you in 2.6 but not in 2.7. You have to click ‘file URL’ before insert into post, then it will work.
