Concrete 5.8.9

I have added a form block inlcuding a file upload button.

However… the button shows up when in admin mode but when I logout and view as a user, it is gone. Checking the code, the code is there but it is invisible on the page. Any ideas pleaase?

thanks

Check your image/file options are set to HTML input
