What version did you update to? Concrete 5.5?
Can you attach a screenshot to see what your problem is exactly?

Personally, I couldn't upload files on C5.5, but it was a problem related with Server Permissions.

it's Version: 5.4.2.2, I'm really not sure because on my other sites, the links are at the top right hand side of the screen. Luckily I haven't done anything to the site yet so I might just re-install it if I can't work it out.

i think you should just re-install it again. it's hard i think to find that error. thats why dont want to update. it's to risky..

Could you take a screenshot of the "Access" tab of the File Manager so that I could check out whether everything is ok there...?

Another thing, I'd look into is whether your browser throws any JavaScript errors because that might also affect seeing those.

Just a few guesses.

I'm having the same problem ... and from searching through the forums, it would appear that the problem is with 5.4.2.2 ... but I have not received any answers yet as to how to fix it. I also hear that 5.5 is available, but my update says I'm current.

I received the following reply on another forum and thought I'd pass it on to you.

"Usually this is because the "Allowed File-types" gets "lost", and usually after upgrading from 5.4.2.1 to 5.4.2.2 (well for me anyway).
If the file types box is blank/empty, then no buttons are displayed in the file manager."

Go here to see the example:

I hope this helps you, as it did me.

Go to Dashboard >> System and Settings >> Permissions & Access>> Allowed File Types... and add the following filetypes

flv, jpg, gif, jpeg, ico, docx, xla, png, psd, swf, doc, txt, xls, xlsx, csv, pdf, tiff, rtf, m4a, mov, wmv, mpeg, mpg, wav, avi, m4v, mp4, mp3, qt, ppt, pptx, kml, xml


Now your 'upload' buttons will appear in the file manager as usual.
