I am working on a WPForo Q&A forum. There is a problem where the permalink to an attachment does not work if the attachment has a ".txt" extension.

Other attachment file extensions, such as "png" or "jpg" work fine. Users can access them using the permalinks that the WPForo plugin assigns.
"txt" is in the list of allowed extensions in the WPForo settings.
I confirmed that the "txt" attachments do get saved to the server.
I can access the "txt" attachment directly from the web, just not using the permalink that WPForo assigns to it.
My forum can be found here: https://community.onenetwork.com
The WPForo plugin version is 1.8.4.
The forum also has the plugin "wpForo Advanced Attachments" from gVectors installed.

Please advise on how best to solve this issue.

Hi @mnutsch,

Please move this topic to gVectors Support forum: https://gvectors.com/forum/

Here we only support the main free wpForo plugin.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
