How do I upload and link directly to a file using an external link in WordPress?
- In WordPress, go to Media in the left-hand navigation within the WP Admin.
- Click on Library and then Add New.
- Select the file you wish to upload. It will then upload to the site.
- Once the upload is complete, click on the file to open its details.
- On the right-hand side, locate the File URL in the attachment details panel. The link to the file will be displayed here.
- Type this URL in your browser to verify it works, and then copy and paste it into an email or wherever you'd like it to go.
- You can make additional modifications here if necessary.
