How to create links to downloadable pdf in wordpress

You could send me an email with a link to the PDF so I can see it — my email is [email protected] , and I am happy to take a look. Regards, Kelly. When people click on it, I want a new WordPress tab to open that shows the contents of the pdf.

Is this possible using WordPress. Here you would need to create a main menu, and then add a custom link to that main menu. Save the menu. To open in a new window is another step. Google believes users should have the choice if they open the link themselves. To have it open, just create a link to it as described in this post. Kind regards, Kelly.

Your email address will not be published. Click here if you want to link to an MP3 file. This procedure works on Gutenberg Paragraph and List blocks. When I change the blocks to a bulleted list, it makes it one block.

Hi Laura, I agree, there are some issue with Gutenberg that need to be worked out. Not being able to easily link to files from within a block is unacceptable. There are a couple things you can do to work around the PDF issue.

That allows you to continue to use the classic editor with WordPress 5. If you want to continue using the Block editor, you can link to pdf files by going to the Media manager and copying the pdf link. Then create a link in the list and paste the pdf url. Before you move forward, make sure you have the PDF document to upload. Select the PDF file and upload it. This is as easy as when you upload any other image.

It takes only a fraction of a time to upload. You can share the PDF not only in the posts and pages but also in your different social media accounts. We use pages, posts, and other custom post types to add content to a WordPress site. WordPress media files, meanwhile, are managed in a section namely Media Library and each file is assigned an attachment page once being uploaded. Not mentioning WordPress content at the moment, we would love to dig deep into WordPress download links: what they are, how to add one to your posts, and the way to manage them.

To get the download link, you first have to upload your file to your Media Library. Then WordPress will generate one for each file automatically. You can edit this link as well. Instead of having to open a blog post and viewing your images or PDFs there, users can access and download them right with the download links. Related wikiHows How to. How to. About This Article.
