Your website supports the ability to add documents to any page or post, or even in the description of a calendar event. In most cases you should have saved your document as a PDF.

(N.B. If a previous version of a document already exists in your site, you can skip to instructions for REPLACING a document)

How To Add a New Document

Using the editor for any of the above items, do the following:

Place your cursor where you want the document link to appear (by default the link will use the title of the document, but you can change that later).

Click the Add Media button above the editor window.

Add Media Button

 


Use the ‘Upload Files’ tab followed by the ‘Select Files’ button to find the files on your device and upload them.

Add Media Button

 


You will now see your document as the latest box in the media library. In the panel to the right hand side, you’ll see a number of settings you can edit for the document, including the title.


You have the option of selecting a tick box to categorise your upload – this is to help you filter your documents in the future when maintaining your site.


Make sure the attachment display setting reads “Media File”


Click ‘Insert into Post’ and your document link will be added. When you see the published item, you’ll see that the link is automatically styled to appear in a white box.
