Perch content type="file" not showing on website

Hello there, i got a problem with a file link. For some reason it doesnt show anything on the website. Even with the sample code from the docs <a href="<perch:content id="report" type="file" label="Annual report PDF" output="size">">Download my file</a> it doesnt work. After checking my Database i can see that all values are created as usual.

Is there anything obvious i am missing?

Thanks in advance!

You're using template syntax for the current version of Perch, but you're running an old version of the software.

It doesn't if you're using the old syntax. Old syntax still works, but you can't go back in time and use new syntax with an old version of the software.
