I thought we were talking about static home pages in this thread? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1156632 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:36:00 +0000 liquidcable 1156632@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ok, had to delete the post and create a new one. And the spaanem work around only appears to work on NEW posts, if you modify a current post then it doesn't work.</p> <p>It appears to remove the rel=' portion of the link, thus when posting Wordpress does not change it. But this alloy works for new posts. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1156609 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:26:06 +0000 liquidcable 1156609@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>spaanem, I've created the attachment.php file and placed into the theme directory. But it has not fixed the problem. </p> <p>The attachment.php file should be in the currently used theme directory correct?</p> <p>After I add the file do I need to do anything else before trying it? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1156586 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:11:23 +0000 liquidcable 1156586@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I having this problem too. Bug #7040 looks to be closed. Any one have an update on this bug getting fixed in the next release. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1121601 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:12:27 +0000 morethanthesky 1121601@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thank you Spaanem!!! You've just made my life a LOT better!!! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1105711 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:27:36 +0000 spaanem 1105711@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Anyone looking for a workaround to this issue, here's how I fixed it:</p> <p>Create a file in your theme folder called attachment.php that contains this bit of code: <code>&lt;?php header( &#39;Location: &#39;.wp_get_attachment_url() ); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>This will immediately redirect the attachment page to the link to the attached file (this will appear seamless for the user). </p> <p>Note that this does remove the ability to have attached file pages, though personally I'm not sure why you'd want to link to a page to link to a file to begin with. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1037134 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:29:01 +0000 matstillo 1037134@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Going back to the original problem, as wjnielsen says up above, this is a real problem for those of us who have set clients up with Wordpress to provide CMS capabilities.</p> <p>We're not trying anything too exotic here. All I want is for clients to add pdf links to their home page, and thats it. But they need to be able to do this without having to go into html view, which they cannot do &#38; will not want to do. Is there any progress on the bug trac as this must be affecting quite a few people?</p> <p>I can confirm that stripping out the rel attributes does fix it, but I can't expect some of my clients to understand a word of that. They will take one look at the code view &#38; 1) freak out, then 2) probably ruin the whole page. Please can we get this resolved so that they can add these links while staying in the visual mode workflow?</p> <p>Cheers! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034793 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:08:06 +0000 samboll 1034793@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>you can use any folder - that is just the one I used...but yes it has to be somewhere in public_html as that is the root of your site. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034540 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:29:37 +0000 jamaas 1034540@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks again, showing my ignorance here but does this "images" directory have to be in .public_html directory?</p> <p>Jim </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034510 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:01:54 +0000 samboll 1034510@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I haven't tried linking directly but it seems there must be a problem since so many can't do it.<br /> My client wanted the embed thing and it works.<br /> Here is the code:</p> <p><code>&lt;embed src=&#39;http://domain.com/images/whatever.pdf&#39; width=&#39;425&#39; height=&#39;425&#39;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;</code></p> <p>You can play with the sizes. I don't particularly like it but some think it's cool. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034498 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:52:04 +0000 jamaas 1034498@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks Samboll ... I think. Can you build a link from some text in a "Page" and get it to link properly to a pdf file on the host server? I still can't. Can you confirm for me that this is some sort of bug and that is not me doing something silly. I've read, googled, read instructions and watched videos and still can not link to a pdf file from a page in 2.7.1 on a hosted server.<br /> Thanks</p> <p>Jim </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034481 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:39:24 +0000 samboll 1034481@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>on a private blog I set up I have the pdf's embedded in posts. Folks can then save the file or view it live. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034438 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:39:32 +0000 jamaas 1034438@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I can't make this work either. I don't have any rel attribute in the link code and it still doesn't work!</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Jim </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1034172 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 02:47:21 +0000 swift 1034172@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I just came across this problem too - using a static page as my homepage and trying to link to a PDF file from it. The file is there, but the link gets re-written every time you update the page so that clicking on the link takes you to another page with only the actual file link on it (and that one works fine).</p> <p>Like suggested above, taking out the rel attribute worked for me, didn't try the <a href="file://" rel="nofollow">file://</a> method.</p> <p>I'd say this is a bug - someone needs to track it down and squish it! I've added my voice to the Trac ticket... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1028607 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:59:22 +0000 virgocurtis 1028607@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes, beautiful. Such a simple thing missed before. Everything seems to work great for me now. Thanks all for your work on this!! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1010240 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:49:55 +0000 knolly42 1010240@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It was driving me nuts till I found a this <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2427969" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/2427969</a></p> <p>Make sure the link URL is 'file'. For me it was blank initially. By default, prior to 2.7 it would point to the file as soon as you'd uploaded.</p> <p>Having set it to file on the last upload I did it now generates the link to the file every time.</p> <p>Maybe it remembers your last preference but if you've never set it then I suppose it has nothing to remember...? dunno </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-1001022 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:48:05 +0000 kidaz 1001022@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Anyone found a solution to this? I have the same problem. I am running 2.7.1. The PDF is uploaded to media library fine, but is not hyperlinked when you visit the post. It is driving me nuts!!!? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-974650 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:56:23 +0000 tortillasoup 974650@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I only found about it today after a client of mine stated they were having the same issues. I updated their site as soon as 2.7 was released and they were able to post PDF's to their site. However, as of yesterday they cannot and I have tried this on my personal site and get the same issue. This only occurs when attempting to post to the main page, whether it is static or latest posts. Also noticed the Flash Uploader is broken after installing Flash Player 10. I will continue to do some more searching for a resolution. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-969955 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:11:30 +0000 wjnielsen 969955@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Any Word on this? It's not just an annoying bug, it is killing the productivity for some of my clients. Is there a plugin that corrects the issue? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-948708 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:26:53 +0000 Pac_AW 948708@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm having the same issue. Uploading a pdf puts it in the gallery fine, but there is no active link.<br /> This occurs on posts, haven't tried on pages.<br /> We do NOT have a static homepage.<br /> This has occurred ever since we switched to WP 2.7 using automatic updater. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-931819 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 13:16:03 +0000 eharris 931819@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yes, this was a file I was trying to link to on my static homepage. I haven't yet tried on 2.7 to see if this bug still exists on my site. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-931586 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 01:43:15 +0000 KathyReid 931586@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I found this in the bug trac - and it seems to cover what we have identified - and narrows it down to only the 'start' page where you have a static home page being affected (which matches my use case - not sure about yours?)</p> <p><a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7040">http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7040</a></p> <p>I have reopened this in Trac. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-931496 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:19:17 +0000 KathyReid 931496@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I have also experienced this exact same issue - and removing the 'rel' attribute in the link also served as a workaround - thanks for posting it. </p> <p>This bug is not restricted to pdf file types - my case was a Word doc. </p> <p>For reference I am using WordPress 2.7 on Linux based hosting.</p> <p>Will do some digging and post what I come up with.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Kathy </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220579#post-911821 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:33:51 +0000 thydzik 911821@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Reply for completeness.</p> <p>After liaising with Erik, an update thydzikGoogleMap v1.3.1 has been released which address the problem. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220579#post-908806 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:48:41 +0000 eharris 908806@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Upon upgrading to WordPress 2.6.5, I started getting the following error whenever a map was called with this plugin:</p> <p>Request resulted in error. Check XML file is retrievable.</p> <p>The XML file is retrievable and is in the correct location.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thydzik-google-map/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thydzik-google-map/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220398#post-908087 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:28:49 +0000 eharris 908087@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Addendum - The search fails on any author with more than one name because it doesn't search for the name, but the URL. So "Simon Wheatley" doesn't work but "Simonwheatley" does.</p> <p>If it searches on URL, then spaces should be ignored (so they can be used or not), and substring searches should work, too. "Wheatley" should find plugins by Simon or anyone else whose name/alias contains that string of letters. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220400#post-908083 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:24:55 +0000 eharris 908083@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I don't see any obvious way to change the number of hits per page in the plugin search function, and six is a ridiculously low default number. This should be easily changeable from either the plugin search screen or from one of the settings screens. I'd also recommend boosting the default to 10. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220398#post-908081 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:19:42 +0000 eharris 908081@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I set up a test blog with 2.7b3 to make sure my plugins and themes work with it in preparation for uploading my live WordPress sites with 2.7 upon release. I like the new feature where I can search for plugins and install them, but I'm finding that I'm coming up empty sometimes. for example, I just tried searching for Simon Wheatley's "Exclude Pages from Navigation" plugin (which is listed in the WordPress plugin directory without the last two words), available at <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/</a> . Searching for "Exclude Pages" comes up with 110 pages of plugins, most of which don't contain the word "Exclude" anywhere in the title or description. This is a long standing problem with the WordPress plugin search.</p> <p>However, if I search for "Simon Wheatly" or "Wheatley", I get zero hits. However, I see on <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/simonwheatley" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/simonwheatley</a> that he has nine plugins listed on WordPress Extend. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/219507#post-905499 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:47:37 +0000 eharris 905499@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've confirmed that this problem does NOT exist on another WordPress site that I administer. Any clue what might be causing it on this one? Both sites are using WordPress 2.6.3.</p> <p>I was able to bypass this problem by manually changing the URL that WordPress entered, and removing the <code>rel="attachment wp-att-114"</code> part of the link. This workaround shouldn't be necessary, though, as it's not on the other site I tested on, where the automated "Link To File" button worked fine. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/206868#post-905497 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:42:41 +0000 eharris 905497@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Isn't the "Requests and Feedback" support forum where we go to make requests and feedback heard? :) If there's someplace else I can post this to garner more attention, I'd be happy to do it. </p>
