Gravity Forms doesn't do anything with url rewriting so this is going to be something server/WordPress related.</p> <p>What does the HTTP URL to the file look like? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-download-error#post-14984 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 06:28:14 +0000 digitz 14984@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> Actually the URL to the file is correct and I can access the actual file via FTP, but when I click on the link to the file, I get a page not found error.<br /> Though I have to mention that it work well with archives.</p> <p>This is the relative link to the folder containing the file: /blog/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/5/2010/12 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-download-error#post-14283 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 12:54:42 +0000 Carl Hancock 14283@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It could be related to this thread, which is server configuration related:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/docx-converted-to-zip" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/docx-converted-to-zip</a></p> <p>Some browsers try to handle the file different from what you expect, for example with .docx they think it's an archive and try to unzip it.</p> <p>But we haven't seen any issues with PDF or DOC with the upload. If you look on the server, do you see the files themselves in the gravity forms upload folder? What does the URL to the file look like (you can omit the domain name if you want)? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-download-error#post-14242 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 05:05:20 +0000 digitz 14242@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There's a problem when a user attaches files other than .rar or .zip files.<br /> When I receive the email containing the link to the file in gravity_forms upload folder such as .doc .pdf or .docx files, it refers me to a page not found page in WP.</p> <p>What could be the problem? </p>
