I have a custom post type called Marketing Materials, that has a field to upload archives like .pdf, .doc, .zip, etc.

At front-end I list the posts with a vew like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-archive) ne '' )"]

[wpv-post-title]

[/wpv-conditional]

The view works fine, an d the link open the .pdf docs but when it is another kind of archive it doesn't open anything.

I googled and find that when URL has a relative path it works, and I already tested it. But when url is absolute it's not working.

I also tryed adding download at link tag but is not working anyway.

Hi Jorge,

I believe the problem is that your items are uploaded with a http address when it should be https.

Try changing your links to https and let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks,
Shane
