WordPress Upload: Yes You Can

UploadMany of us who use WordPress are familiar with the upload function where you can add and attach a media file right from the post screen without FTP. There is a button to add images, video, audio and ‘media’. It is natural for anyone to think that’s all you can upload. As business users, we often have PDFs we want to upload and share too. Here’s the good news in case you didn’t know it. You can upload PDF files from WP as well. Just click the Add Media button. I’ve even uploaded ZIP packages successfully.

    I use that all the time, but I wonder is there a way to make the url more friendly? Those wordpress upload filenames are long and ugly and nasty to remember. LOL

      Hey Carrie, well there are two ways, use the link to “link to post URL” instead of “link to file” However this may still be long especially if the post title itself is pretty long. Another way may be to change your upload folder to something else instead of wp/wp-content/uploads you can change it to /uploads or something like that in Misc Settings. You know what I’ll write another post in more detail about this. Thanks for the idea!
