Linking to PDFs

Posted on 7th January 2019,

  • A link to a PDF is created from the page in the same way as a standard link (above)
  • To create the actual link to the PDF, upload the file to the Media library
  • When it has uploaded click on the PDF in the library (make sure the grid view is on rather than the list view)
  • On the right hand side you will see information about the file, copy the file url starting from /wp-content onwards:

  • Go back to the page where you want to link to this PDF
  • Highlight the text e.g. “view the membership leaflet [PDF]”
  • Paste in the copied url into the box and click apply.
