WP - Literature / Media Downloads [PDF's]

Your website images and media

In the site admin, there will be a section available called “Media”. Click on this to access the Media Library. This is where all images used for slideshows and featured images are kept, as well as the PDFs that have been uploaded to the site.

Replacing a Media File

Note this will remove the original file – please only do this if you no longer want to use the file you’re replacing [we recommend saving a copy of the file on your computer]

1. On the right there will be an option to Replace Media click the button that says “Upload a new file”

2. This will bring you to a page called “Replace Media Upload”. Click the “Choose File” button here and find the file on your computer.

3. To keep the file path the same, and to avoid creating a 404, please use the Just replace the file option, and Keep the current dates. This ensures that the URL stays the same, meaning that any hard coded links won’t need to be changed, and no 404 is created for the deleted file.

Please Note: The new file you upload must be the same type as the one you are replacing (eg, you can’t replace a .pdf file with a .jpg file).
If the file you’ve replaced doesn’t show the new file right away, you will need to force refresh your site and clear your cache. You may need to wait a couple of hours for the server cache to clear – please contact us if you require a full cache clear.

Upload Limit: Please also note that there is a maximum upload limit of 10MB per file.

Uploading a Media File

In the site admin, there will be a section available called “Media”. Click on this to access the Media Library. This is where all images used for slideshows and featured images are kept, as well as the PDFs that have been uploaded to the site.

From here you can click the blue “Add New” button at the top of the media library which will then ask you to select files by clicking a button, or you can drag and drop files from your computer to upload.

Upload Limit: Please also note that there is a maximum upload limit of 10MB per file.
