Hi @scotty85,
Just to confirm:

Have attachments ever worked for you on your instance on any version?
Do attachments work for you when using our demo instance?
How have you installed BookStack and what web-server do you use?

Thank you for quick response

yes, attachments never worked on my instance before update
yes, attachments work on demo
I installed from git repository, and configured manually to use nginx web server

Here is my nginx config file:

server {
	listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server;
	
	root /var/www/BookStack/public;
	
	index index.html index.php;

	server_name 172.23.0.23;

	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?query_string;
	}

	location ~\.php$ {
		include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
		fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
	}
}

Thanks @scotty85.

I think you're missing a dollar sign on one of your lines:

# This line:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?query_string;

# Should probably be this:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

Remember to restart nginx after updating your config.
