Comment:
I can confirm this error. I am using 2.7 and have tested this on two
different sites. When attempting to insert a pdf on the main page of the
website rather than linking to the pdf a link to a post page is created
and on that page a link will appear in the body to the actual document.
Before publishing I have checked the link for the correct path to the pdf
as well as once inserted i check the path using the "insert/edit link"
button to check the path one last time. After the page is published I view
it and what you get is a link to http://www.xxxxxxx.com/xxxxxpost instead
of http://www.xxxxxx.com/xxxx.pdf . I have tested this on other pages
outside of the main / static page and it works. Error only occurs when
attempting to insert media in the main page.
Using Wordpress 2.7
1. open / edit main page
2. click "add media" button
3. click select files (flash loader button does not work, I think it may
because of Flash Player 10)
4. select document (pdf)
5. select "file URL" in the Link URL option. This used to be the default,
now an option must be chosen
6. select insert to post
7. click in the link in the post box and then select "link / edit" button
8. verify correct path to the document
9. publish page
10. view page / link will not be to document rather to a post
11. only happens on main page / works on all others
Hope this helps. I set the priority to high only because this is a
productivity issue for some of my clients attempting to update their
sites.
