There must be something restricting access to your pdf files. I know a link to a media pdf does work on a site I maintain (LINK) . I think it is likely related to the CyberStore, or permissions on the goDaddy side. If you have access to the log files, have a look at the error log. It might provide additional information.

Work-Arounds: (1)Post your pdf to amazon S3, or similar CDN, and link to this path. (2)Create a subdomain, and post the files to the subdomain.

Sorry can’t be much help.

Well, not sure how to resolve the issue within your wordpress site. I think still think there is something or some setting that is not allowing access to your media files directly.

I know the direct link works with our site. Here is an example to a pdf on our site: LINK

A short term work around would be to put the pdf on a service like amazon S3, and send a link to the S3 file. I have done this with a newsletter I send out to a local group I am a member. Another work around might be able to create a sub domain such as xyz.orlandocameraclub.com, and just put the pdf files on that site.

If you have access to the web access logs, you might be able to identify the problem looking at the error log.

Hmmm, I am wondering if the Orbisius CyberStore is restricting the access to your pdf files. Google has indexed the site, and was able to see several newsletters with the following search at google: https://www.google.com/#q=site:orlandocameraclub.com+newsletter, and looks like the indexing stopped after october 2015. Did something change in November ?

There was a similar question a while back:

It references the codes on how to move a site:

You should be able to publish the direct link to the media library items. Depending on how you setup your system, the pdf files are usually stored in:
https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/yyyy/mm/file.pdf
where domain.com is your domain, yyyy is the year you uploaded the file, mm is the month you uploaded the file, and of course file.pdf if the file name.

You can also get this path by clicking on the file in media library. The dialog that is displayed usually has a url, which conforms to your settings. Just copy that url displayed, and you should be good.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the update, glad it all worked out.

I am not a php expert, however I have read about some of the differences between 5.x and 7. There are quite a few, and some of the differences are related to exception handling. Here is a page that describes some. Since your test is a very small site (excellent test environtment), I might suggest re-installing using php 5.x, and performing the same test. If the behavior is different you may have found an issue with wordpress.

You did not specify which backup method you are using, so the backup system you use may have some documentation on how to restore a backup. You might try to call your web host service provider, and they might be able to help. If these suggestions do not help, I would recommend calling a service provider and paying someone to help.

In the future, try to restore the backups to an isolated system, and then perform the upgrades to the isolated system. That way you would know of issues related to upgrades. I know it can be a lot of work, however it will be less work than fixing a failed upgrade.

Hope this helps.

I downloaded the _tk-master theme, installed in a test server environment. I then reviewed the code in pastebin.com/… as you provided, and found that the code is the same as found in _tk-master theme. It appears you did not change anything… I then added a page & then modified the navbar to open the page created. I then clicked on the menu item, and the link worked as expected without error. My environment is using Desktop Server Premium v3.8.1. Just wondering if the issue is related to apache configuration, or a “wordpress address (URL)”, or “Site Address (URL)” ?

Did you create a full child theme as specified in codex ? (Link Here) Generally, you would not simply override the child functions, but you would create additions that would enhance the parent themes.

I think it may be the cookie accept dialog box that pops up the first time. See this image of an iphone 5s screen. It does show the behavior you are discussing. If I display the same thing on a standard browser of similar size on a desktop, the column is centered. Try to disable the “cookie accept” plugin, and see if this resolves the issue.

You may need to regenerate thumbnails. See this link for info on this topic.

I would start by reviewing posts like this one, that describes creating multilingual sites. There is a video tutorial, and their first suggested method is manually translating the content as you suggested.

You may be missing the load of php within the apache configuration files. Here is a link for configuration of apache 2.x on windows.

I would think it is an IIS issue. Sounds like IIS is simply requires https. Since you are using WHS2011, I assume this site is on a home network, behind a firewall/router, and you are using some type of dynamic name server. Make sure you are forwarding ports 443 & 80 through you router to your WHS2011, and your firewall on the WHS2011 is also allowing access to public IP addresses.

Hope this helps.
