@ Otto42 & moshu:

A big thank you to both of you.

Moving the line of code to the top of the .htaccess file worked. I had it at the bottom. Thanks guys.

So if anyone else runs across this problem, here is the .htaccess that forced the .vcf file to be treated like a .pdf and open a download window:

AddType application/octet-stream vcf

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

@otto42:

Thank you. I’ll try that.

I can’t be the only person to want to offer up a .vcf inside of a WordPress page. Somebody has this figured out.

Thank you, off to give the line of code a try at the top.

Well, the good news is that the one line of code added to my .htaccess file didn’t break anything (thanks moshu).

Unfortunately, the code:

AddType application/octet-stream vcf

doesn’t fix my problem of wanting a .vcf file treated like a .pdf file forcing a download window to appear. It still just goes to the simple text of a .vcf file in a browser window.

Anyone have a solution?

@ moshu:

Thanks for the reply. Lemme go try it (with fingers crossed).

If this works, I will be sure to close out the question as resolved.

I realize now that a 755 permission is not enough for WordPress to allow me to UL images to use in a post.

WordPress is so sensitive that it wants a full 777 permissions to UL images.

I’m new to WP, but I understand that there are probably millions of WP bloggers out there.

Is 777 to an ULs folder really that acceptable in the WP community or is there another way to UL images that this community has discovered and is using?

I have a similar problem.

I’m starting my new WordPress blog here.

I have pages and a post showing up in the admin area. They even show as links on the blogs main page.

However, when you click on a link of a comment or post or page, it delivers you to a 404 missing page.

What am I doing wrong?
