Using WordPress version 3.6 or before, you can upload files, PDFs, images and more to your Media Library.
Adding Media and Linking to it:
- From the admin, click on Media >> Add New
- Click on ‘Select Files’ and browse for the file or files you would like to upload (you can also drag & drop)
- You can select & upload multiple files at once
- NOTE: most PHP.ini files will limits per-file upload size to 8MB
- Now you can add any additional information you like about the media you’ve just uploaded
- You’ll also notice an un-editable link. That’s the online link to the file you just uploaded
- You can email the link, link to it from a page or post or whatever else you want to do with it
- PLEASE NOTE: the media library is not secure. DO NOT upload confidential or personal files. Search engines WILL find them. We worked hard to make sure they do ;).
- Click ‘Save All Changes‘
- Close the lightbox by clicking the ‘X’ in the top right portion
