I have an active site that we manage using drupal's interface. The site was made prior to my employment. There are already several upload fields on the website, and I'm attempting to create another one to upload a pdf. I create a new field:
Title: Upload Calendar
Name: upload_calendar
Type: File
Operations: File Upload
Everything looks dandy but when I go to create new content that uses this field I do not get the option of uploading a file (No button, text, or section on it for that matter). I thought maybe it had something to do with privelages so I added an existing field to the same content type and when I go to create content, that previously existing field shows but my field still doesn't show.
My "display fields" is the same for those fields that show just fine.
In the database, it has created a table for the file upload field so its working on that end.
I've attempted to add my field to other content types and it doesn't show on those either.
I've cleared my cache, hard refreshed on theme page, all the tricks.
I then started a fresh new drupal test site and followed the same steps to making the field and bam, works like a charm. This is extremely confusing to me, I myself am not a big fan of drupal and have very little experience with it, so its making my negativity towards drupal even greater.
