File Manager

Why does the file manager only list image files? I can't find any other uploaded files, not even with search! Example: PDF files that are supposedly uploaded are missing.

Try logging in as the top level Admin account, not a general User/Administrator account you may have created since that account may not have permissions to upload content or that file type.

Go to Allowed Files Types under File Manager --> Access. Look to see if pdf is listed in your allowed file types. If it isn't, add it. :)

If you can do it now, you'll need to give permissions to other accounts to do the same.

If you're just logged in under a general Administrator account (or another group/user), which is counter-intuitively different than your default Admin account that is initially created, make sure that that group/user is given priviliges to Add All under under the Permissions section on that same page.

The file might also be too big. Many hosts have a default php upload limit of 2-4 MB's. Try uploading a very small pdf file (like under 1 MGB) to determine if this is the problem. Do this in the File Manager Quick Upload as well as clicking the More link right next to it which brings up the Multifile-Uploader; that has a progress bar to track your uploads.

If you can't upload, you may want to add this to your root htaccess file which might help:

php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M


This doesn't always work. You may have to change your php.ini file too. Your ability to do this may vary from host to host.

P.S. what version of concrete 5 are you running? Current version is 5.3.1.1
