 * Documents are showing in the list, even in subfolders however when you come to
   click to open them nothing happens. When i look at the redirect its just ‘#’.
 * -I have ran the file system check.
    -Checked for broken links. -Added a brand
   new document. – Hidden everything and then tried again.
 * Im stuck!

 * This is a conflict with Bootstrap. There are some previous threads that explain
   how to solve this.

 * There is more, just in case you need it.
 * **What is the name of the file to modify?**
 * I looked through the two that he listed in the thread.

 * I was mistaken – my PDFs are downloadable. No Preview. Not a bid deal.

 * I’ve removed various code from the CSS styles (can’t find any that looks like
   the code from Bhaldie.
 * Has anyone found the fix for this? Where did you edit? What files?

 * I have added the piece of code to the functions.php however this causes other
   problems (preview shows behind menu bar, add new document doesn’t work etc.)
 * When i delete the bootstrap files, the website loses its nav bar formatting.
 * Have you sorted a fix?

   the update.
 * Can’t download or anything now.

 * We commented out the code in the functions, this then allowed the popup menu 
   to display.

 * Try that again, version 3.0.15 will have a setting that will allow you to turn
   bootstrap off.
 * Stay tuned.

 * Commenting out the bootstrap code again makes it work again. Just to make you
   aware.
