1. Click on the “Upload/Insert” icon above the content editor:

2. Upload the file by clicking “Select Files” or dragging the file into the window:

3. Once uploaded, you’ll see the following options:

Title: The text typed into this field becomes the link that your web visitors will click on (so make sure it makes sense and is easy to read).

Link URL/File URL: If you do not see the link to your file in the “Link URL” field, click the “File URL” button to add the link.

Insert into Post: Clicking “Insert into Post” will add the link to your PDF file into the post or page where your cursor was.

4. Finish adding content to your post or page and click “Publish” (or “Update” if editing an existing post/page).
