Hi there,
After looking into your account, I found that the links to the PDFs to this post:
http://askeyphysics.org/?page_id=8256
were wrong. Make sure the extension is .pdf.
For example, the first link is to:
http://askeyphysics.org/packet-5-spring-14/paper-phyinv7expan6side1-sp09-pdf-wp/
as seen in this screenshot:
The link should be:
Click to access paper-phyinv7expan7side1-sp09-wp.pdf
You can get the direct link by going into edit the PDF you want to use. You will find the direct file URL in the Save module as seen here:
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Thank you Grace. Just reading this. With a little help from a friend, we kind of figured that out after a couple of hours of playing around. The weird thing is, those links worked fine for the last couple of years, then over night all of them (except the direct pdf links) stopped working. Did WordPress do some update about a week ago that would affect all my nondirect PDF links at once?

Hi there,
There was an update to the editor as seen in our blog post here:
What happened is that now because of formatting issues, everything pasted into a document is stripped of any code. However, we always recommend that you upload documents using the direct extension as seen here:
Cheers!
