  Hello dear friends,
  I hope you’re doing well.

  Suddenly today I’ve noticed this:
  Do you remember the thumbnail which is also a link, when we upload media files other than images (i.e. pdfs) in our media library?

  Well, yesterday they were there. Today are missing.

  Take a look, please:

  [XYZ Contagion] – 9+1 σκηνές από την ιστορία της ελληνικής ακροδεξιάς που ρίχνουν φως στην άγνωστη Χρυσή Αυγή Μια ακτινογραφία της μεταμφίεσης του ναζιστικού ζόμπι [XYZ Contagion 2014]

  Can you see the first line, where we can see ‘xyz_9_1_final.pdf’?
  This used to be a link. Now it’s just a word.

  Another example:

  [Humanitarian Law Center] – Dossier The 10th Sabotage Detachment of the Main Staff of the Army of Republika Srpska [Humanitarian Law Center 2011] – Dosije_eng

  The string ‘humanitarian-law-center-dossier-the-10th-sabotage-detachment-of-the-main-staff-of-the-army-of-republika-srpska-humanitarian-law-center-2011-dosije_eng.pdf’ used to be a link to a pdf I’ve uploaded.

  Where did they go?

  Thank you all in advance :)

  Can you show me a screenshot of what you are seeing? Perhaps highlighting where the link is and where the thumb used to be?

  Here are some screenshot instructions if you are not familiar with the process:

  Take a Screenshot

  I find http://snag.gy/ to be very useful for sharing screenshots. You can also upload the screenshot to your site’s media library. I will be able to see it there. Please include your browser’s address bar in the screenshot.

  I think I can do it.

  Please, spot the string ‘this-is-not-a-rc-book-1992.pdf’ just below the title of the media file ‘Richard Clogg, «refugees crowded» το 1992 – Μαρία Ρεπούση, «(χιλιάδες) Ελληνες συνωστίζονται» το 2006 » This-is-Not-a-RC-book-1992’

  This-is-Not-a-RC-book-1992

  Or you can see it here marked:

  https://archive.is/hfX6n#selection-4945.0-4945.30

  In the same position, until recently there was a thumbnail-link like that:

  

  Kind of a book, let’s say. When I clicked this thumbnail-link, the pdf file opened.

  Now it’s gone. I can see just the string ‘this-is-not-a-rc-book-1992.pdf’ which is not an active link, it’s something useless.

  Did you get it now?

  Thank you :)
