Can no longer upload documents to document library

Dan Osby asked on April 14, 2015 23:58

At one point we could upload documents to the document library area. Now we get "You are not allowed to create page of type 'CMS.File' in required location." We've test with a global administrator account who also has full control permissions set on the directory in question.

Please check your allowed types and the allowed parent page types under the CMS_File Page Types, and make sure that where you are trying to upload it that you have that page type included.

"and make sure that where you are trying to upload it that you have the section included."

How do I check this - can't find where to include the section.

Turns out it works fine in Internet Explorer but not my instance of Firefox. On another PC, logged in as a different user, Firefox works fine. Go figure.

Hello Dan,

I would recommend you to completely clear the cache of your Firefox browser and try it once again.

Regards, Martin
