You say this happened when you upgraded to WordPress 3.5.1? Or did you mean when you upgraded the plugin?
When you see a file link in the CFDB Admin page, and you click on it, what happens? I don’t understand what you mean by “it turns into html links”. Isn’t it already a link?
Hi Michael, thank you so much for writing back.
I upgraded to WordPress 3.5.1 and upgraded the plugin whenever I saw those alerts. So I am unsure whether the new WordPress version isn’t compatible to your plugin, or vice versa.
In terms of the CFDB admin page, there are 3 options. (1) Contact Form DB (2) Shortcode (3)Option. I have not changed any settings since I don’t know how to code program. I have been using all the default setting from Day 1.
The problem I am having is… when I clicked the link… it used to download the file whatever people uploaded (lets say docx). I will then go to my “download” section of my laptop and its great.
But now the link has become docx.html at the end of the link. When I click on it, it’s a messy looking code that makes no sense to me.
FYI
PHP Version 5.2.17
MySQL Version 5.5.23-55
I have upload the screen shot for the html link.

Maybe the question “export URLs instead of file names to upload files” I should select true???

I see what you mean. This is an issue where the browser thinks it has an HTML file and tries to display it. So you are seeing the ugly raw contents of the .docx file. I’ll need time to see if I can duplicate this and figure out the cause.
Workaround:
For now, you can simply “Save As” to save the file to your desktop, then remove the “.html” extension so that it is ends in “.docx”, then you can just open the file.
I am using MacBook and if I select “Download Link File As..” in my option
It does not work.
It states “Zero kb of ? the request of the file was not found on this server”
