I have been looking for a solution for the following problem for such a long time without any success

I need to find a way (via plugin or a different way) to let a user upload a pdf file on the the website. After the user has uploaded the file it should directly be visible on the site by the user as a text.

Can somebody help me out here?

Much appreciated!

Best regards

John

For the past week, I have been trying to upload 2 PDF docs to our website.
I have tried reducing the size, renaming the file, deleting stuff from the media library to make space, I have cleared all the cache & cookies, but nothing seems towork. I keep getting an HTTP error (I did try uploading images and that worked fine. But for some reason, these two PDFs I can’t seem to upload.

Any way someone can help?

Thanks,
Oliver

I am suddenly unable to upload PDF files. The media library goes through the upload process without errors, but when I follow the URL to the newly uploaded PDF file, instead of showing me the file, I now get a 404 Page Not Found error.

All of my old PDF files still show up properly. I have always been able to upload a PDF without problem before now. I have no idea what would have changed.

I was still able to upload a jpg file to the media library today and was able to access the file properly. It is only the PDF files causing issue right now.

Thank you!

Thanks

Recently the method we were using stopped working, after a plugin/wp update I believe.

So what we were doing; I had created a new field in WP called Rate Sheets. In the field, someone could upload a PDF to the site and the code written would find the most current version of the PDF and embed it on the rate link I provided.

Recently it has stopped finding the most current PDF and we have had to manually insert the PDF name / location where $link is located in the code. Here is the current code.

functions.php

// Send most recent rate sheet doc if found.
    function get_rate_sheet() {

        $item = get_posts(array(
            'post_type' => 'rate-sheet',
            'posts_per_page' => 1,
            'orderby' => 'date',
            'order' => 'DESC'
        ));
        if ($item) {
            $item = $item[0];
            $id = get_post_meta($item->ID, 'file', 1);
            $link = wp_get_attachment_url($id);
            /*
            if ($link) {
                //header("Location: $link");
                wp_redirect($link,301);
                die();
            }
            */
            return $link;
        }

    }

And the wbc_ratesheet.php code

<?php
/*
Template Name: Rate Sheet
*/

// Load the rate sheet doc.  Show page as fallback.
$rateLink = $tcms->get_rate_sheet();

get_header();

global $post;
if (have_posts()) {
	the_post();
}

?>
<?php /*<h2 class="contentHeader"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>*/ ?>

<!-- .contentArea -->
<div class="contentArea">

  <h2 class="pageHeading"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
  <div class="post">
    <div class="entry">
    	<div id="dlink"><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" target="new">Download this rate sheet</a></div>
      <iframe src="<?php echo $link; ?>" frameborder="0" id="iframe2" style="width:100%;height:1030px" ></iframe>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<!-- / .contentArea -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Any clue as to why this is not working anymore?
