Uploading a PDF to WordPress is a straightforward process.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard: Start by accessing your site’s backend by logging in.
2. Navigate to Media Library: On the left-hand menu, click on “”Media”” then “”Add New””. This is where all your site’s images, videos, and documents are stored.
3. Upload the PDF:
4. Drag and drop your PDF file directly into the browser window or Click the “Select Files” button to choose the PDF from your computer.
5. Copy the PDF URL: Once uploaded, click on the PDF in your Media Library. You’ll see an attachment details window on the right. Here, find the File URL; this is the direct link to your PDF.
6. Insert the PDF into a Post or Page:
7. Edit the post or page where you want the PDF link to appear.
8. Place your cursor where you want the link and click the “Add Media” button.
9. Select the PDF you uploaded and insert it into the post/page. You’ll have options to insert the PDF as a link or an icon. Choose as per your preference.
10. Publish/Update Your Content: Once you’ve added the PDF link, make sure to publish (if it’s a new post/page) or update (if you’re adding to an existing post/page) your content to make the changes live.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully uploaded a PDF to your WordPress site, making it accessible to your visitors.
