We use images to link to all of our PDF schedules and calendars and things of that sort. Everything worked fine until this change over and now I can’t seem to get the PDFs I’ve uploaded into our Media Library to display.

Anyone having the same issue or found a solution, it’s essential to our site?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m sorry this issue has arisen. Staff are making improvements again and this is usually a twice every year event. See here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=4

I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

thank you very much, I was trying to find a thread that dealt with the issue to avoid a double post, but there were a lot to wade through.

There certainly is and I just asked another blogger with PDF issues to post into this one so I can keep those with the same issues together.

Perfect, I was able to find work arounds for the rest of the issues I had outstanding, but this was the one that I couldn’t quite figure out

Same issue here since 2 days or so … So I can leave everything like it is and it will be working again?

Looks like another case of WP downgrades!

It’s been an issue for us since the “improvements” took place

Can you give me a link to an example of a post where this has failed? Is it only failing for new posts or are the old ones broken as well?

just the new ones, the old ones work fine. Nothing new will upload

I’m sorry I missed this thread the first time around.

The issue with PDF attachment pages has been reported to our developers and they are looking into it. In the meantime, you might try using Scribd to embed the PDF files directly into your pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/
