    The document listed in the link is marked as a public document. The post visibility is also marked as public. But I’m getting a Sorry you can't see this Memphis Documents file you don't have the proper permission. error.
    I am getting the same error with all of my public documents.
    Though, when I go to the document listing https://foxpointva.com/governing-documents/ I can select Preview and see the documents.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Did you figure out your issue. I just visited your site and every file I tried to download worked for me.

    Did not.
    I ended up commenting out the check for permissions on the
    includes/mdocs-post-page.php line 65,66 and just returned $the_page

    There wasn’t an issue with downloading the files… it was the post display.
    When accessing the page referenced in the ‘The page I need help with’ link… the error message from function mdoc_post_page would display.

    It has to be a setting issue. Can you tell me what your setting are for mDocs when it comes to private files and private posts.

    I don’t see any settings specifically for private files or private posts in the mDocs settings.

    The file mentioned above has a File Status of Public - [Everyone can view this file]
    The autogenerated mDocs post for that file has a visibility set to Public

    All of the documents that you see in that library are set to public.

    I do have some files that are marked as private and are hidden accordingly – so that part appears to work correctly.

    I just took out my commenting… you should be able to see what I’m talking about @ https://foxpointva.com/mdocs-posts/fox-point-athletic-fields-use-agreement-2016/

    if you goto mDocs > Options > Settings > Configuration Settings > Post Options > and look at these settings they should be all unchecked.

    also

    mDocs > Options > Settings > Configuration Settings > File Options > and make sure these are all unchecked

    That was it…
    Hide All Posts: (Non Members) was checked.
    I had just made the assumption that the posts would follow the file permissions.

    It appears that it is working as designed.

    Thanks!
