How do I upload and link directly to a file using an external link in WordPress?

  1. In WordPress, go to Media in the left-hand navigation within the WP Admin.
  2. Click on Library and then Add New.
  3. Select the file you wish to upload. It will then upload to the site.
  4. Once the upload is complete, click on the file to open its details.
  5. On the right-hand side, locate the File URL in the attachment details panel. The link to the file will be displayed here.
  6. 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.
  7. You can make additional modifications here if necessary.
