Uploaded documents (File not found)

Is it a multisite installation?

Hi Boone,

Yes, its a multisite, are their different settings for that?

And if its not a multisite it just plug and play?

Regards

Multisite shouldn’t require different configuration, but it could be that some detail of your configuration is causing URL rewriting to fail for Doc attachments.

As a test, could you try the following:
1. Open the file wp-content/plugins/buddypress-docs/includes/attachments.php
2. Find the line that says $fn = $_GET['bp-attachment'] (should be around line 64)
3. Change it to: $fn = basename( $_GET['bp-attachment'] );

Could you also share more information about your configuration?
– Is this a newish WordPress Multisite installation, or is it a conversion from WPMU?
– When uploading a file to a blog post, what does the URL of the attachment look like? Is it example.com/files/2016/05/foo.jpg, or is it example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/foo.jpg?
– Are you using any domain mapping plugins?
– What is your fileserver software? (Apache, Nginx, etc)

Thanks!
