 * I am working on my website and notice that if I upload a PDF to the WP media 
   library it is readily viewable:
    [http://jsalis.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JSA-LIS-Event-Promo-Opportunities.pdf](http://jsalis.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JSA-LIS-Event-Promo-Opportunities.pdf)
 * But if same doc is uploaded to Memphis Documents library it gets a 404 error:
   
   [http://jsalis.org/wp-content/uploads/mdocs/JSA-LIS-Event-Promo-Opportunities.pdf](http://jsalis.org/wp-content/uploads/mdocs/JSA-LIS-Event-Promo-Opportunities.pdf)
 * The Memphis Documents view on this website is at [http://jsalis.org/documents](http://jsalis.org/documents)
 * Any suggestions for resolving this problem?

 * if you want a link to the document in mDocs you can press the share button and
   copy the Direct Download link.
 * You can also got mDocs Settings and remove the .htacces file contents, this will
   allow anyone access to the files and the mDocs built in protection will be remove.
   Which means if you have files that only can be downloaded my members it will 
   no longer work.
 * One last recommendation is to upgrade to the latest version of mdocs, I can’t
   really help debug older version of the application.
 * If you do go that route please make sure you back up your WordPress site before
   proceeding. You are using a very old version of mdocs and upgrading might cause
   some issues.

 * We can upgrade to a newer version, but before I do, can you point me to the user
   guide for MDocs Library? I think I need to understand better how this library
   system is designed to work. so I know how to advise my user community. Bob W

 * I currently have no user guide. By all means ask any question you would like 
   and I will try to answer as best I can.
