Troubleshoot attachment file extension
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is no size shown?
The file could not be read and no size was saved; the extension is shown alone.
Why does the size differ from my upload?
It is the original upload's size; WordPress also stores smaller copies.
Why is nothing shown?
No file is chosen, or it belongs to a draft or private post.
Can I show “.pdf”?
Yes. Choose small letters and turn on the dot.
