A temp work around would be to upload to a folder on your server and create links to the pdf files. You are not the only who seems to be having this prob, if you are not seeing error messages or warnings try turning on debugging mode temporary and re- upload a pdf file and see if any warnings or errors show up, since upgrading to the new word press one common error message with different references kept showing up, {Fatal error: Internal Zend error – Missing class information for in ………/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-base.php on line 5} and “Disabling APC on Your Hosting Account” seems to solved it in each case even thou each person had different problems.

go to your wp-config file and search for the below code and change false to true and repost the error message here

/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

Thanks for the suggestion but he is going to be the person actually running and managing the site,so what i did was google how to remove the menus with out using a plugin since i have a plugin that can remove menus, but he may just reverse it. the code i used is :
‘ function remove_menus () {
global $menu;
$restricted = array(__(‘Links’));
end ($menu);
while (prev($menu)){
$value = explode(‘ ‘,$menu[key($menu)][0]);
if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:”” , $restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
}
}
add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘remove_menus’); ‘
Thanks for your help, i learnt a lesson when adding a admin to a site or handing it over to someone hide the essentials.

just came from going through the site theme file and settings with a fine tooth comb, and came to the conclusion these errors were caused by the admin who is to take over and run the site for the organisation, is they a way to add someone as admin but take away priviledges so that they cant mess around with settings and send the site haywire??

currently i amdeactivating plugins one by one to see what happens, so far i deleted the .htaccess and reset the permalinks, and this seems to have stablise the top nav menu so rght now the only page with this issue is the hme page which is a static hme page
