I am sort of new to Drupal 7 and am trying to figure out the new method for attaching files to pages.

I have added a File field to the Basic Page content type. I have checked the boxes for "Enable Display field" and "Files displayed by default." I have several allowed file extensions defined. I left File Directory and Maximum Upload Size blank for now, as those are defined elsewhere.

I have since created a new Basic Page to which I attached a document, and " Include file in display" is checked. I know the document uploaded, because I can find it in the correct directory using FTP or my cpanel's file manager.

However, when one views the actual page, either logged in or anonymous, the file attachment does not show. Weirdly, the node preview looks fine. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you looked under the "Manage display" tab for the content type to be sure the field is included in the list of fields to display?
