I wouldn’t necessary say “problem,” but there is definitely something odd with the PDF.

Hi David,

Is this gallery public? If I can take a look at it I can get a better idea of what is going on.

Hi David,

You can do this by writing your title as “Rolling Stone<br/>May 2015”. In terms of centering, if your theme is not already centering the title text for the documents, you can achieve this with the following content in the Custom CSS box at Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery:

.document-gallery .title {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

Hi jgmediapro,

Regarding the 403 error, this sounds like the files on your server may be missing the permissions necessary for them to be viewed. The only time I can think of having seen this is when users manually copy files onto their server. Since DG is discovering the files, if the manually copy over of the files did happen, I’m assuming it was followed by some kind of import process to get them into the WordPress database, but maybe that didn’t fully work?

Can you clarify for us how you got the newsletter PDF file into WordPress specifically?

Thanks!

Hi grungyape,

First, I’m glad y’all have found DG useful.

Regarding expiration of files, unfortunately I think this probably falls outside of the scope of what DG would logically do (really too specialized). That said, there is no reason DG could be part of the solution you are describing…

Since DG takes the current attachments meeting the gallery criteria when a page is viewed, if an attachment is later removed, DG will not show that attachment any more. Something like Post Expirator, in combination with DG, would give exactly what you want. Unfortunately, the Post Expirator doesn’t look like it would work for attachments, but if you look around you may be able to find another plugin that would (or make an enhancement request on that plugin).

I hope that reply gives you some ideas on where to go for here and let me know if you have any further questions!

Hi Lisa,

Based on your configuration, you *might* be able to get PDF thumbnails from Imagick. Sometimes it will handle PDFs, sometimes it will not.

If you go through the Thumbnail Management tab and remove all failed thumbnails, enable logging on the Advanced tab, then visit the page where your gallery is located and stay there for a bit, do thumbnails start to appear? If not, if you go to the Logging tab, what is being logged?

Hi EOSlover,

I can’t tell you much more than the error message. This is the result of files being created with different permissions than what WordPress has permissions to modify. Did you by chance manually change things, maybe installed DG by way of copying things over by FTP?
