Attachments no longer displaying after upgrade (8 to 9)

Tim G. asked on November 10, 2017 15:52

I've recently completed a local upgrade of a Kentico 8 site to Kentico 9. After the upgrade no attachments are showing and instead give a page not found. The attachement URLs take the form of:

/getattachment/60a11dca-bcd7-4d82-9758-ee43452c7e25/page-friendly-url

Is this a breaking change from version 8? Or is there a setting which gets updated which stops these from displaying?

What is the URL being rendered on the page? I've found a setting change in the upgrade which needs to be reverted back or updated in some cases.

Go to Settings>System>Output Filter and make sure the Exclude XHTML filter URLs is set to " / " globally and that the site inherits it. Not saying this will fix the issue but this is one thing we see consistently with the upgrade from 8 to 9 that helps. Be sure to clear cache and restart the website after you make this change.

I've tried updating that setting but no luck. The URL would be something along the lines of:

http://localhost/getattachment/60a11dca-bcd7-4d82-9758-ee43452c7e25/my-page-name
