Adding links to files in your WordPress pages and posts is just as easy as adding images. Follow these instructions below to add links to your own files.

I need to upload my file.

1. Login to your admin area.
2. Navigate to the page or post you want to insert the link/document.
3. Place your cursor where you want the link to appear.
4. Click the “Add media” icon next to “Upload/Insert”. (It’s the last icon that looks like a sun right above your editing tools)
5. Choose “Select Files” and find the file you want to upload from your computer.
6. When it is done uploading you will see a small thumbnail of your file and some areas for you to fill in.
7. In the “Title” area, choose the title of the link you want displayed.
8. The “Link URL” should already be filled in, but if it isn’t click “file URL”
