Adding a Downloadable File (e.g., PDF Brochure) in WordPress
Want to give visitors a file to download, like a brochure or price list? You can upload the file to your Media Library and link to it anywhere on your site.
Step 1 – Upload the File to Media Library
-
In WordPress, go to Media → Add New.
-
Upload your PDF (or other file).
-
Click the file to view details.
-
Copy the File URL on the right-hand side.
Step 2 – Add a Link to the File
On the page where you want the download:
-
Text link: Highlight text, click the link icon, and paste the file URL.
-
Button: Add a Divi Button Module → paste the file URL in the Button Link URL field.
Step 3 – Test the Link
Save your changes and preview the page.
Click the link or button — the file should download or open in the browser.
Additional Notes
-
PDFs work best since they’re viewable on most devices.
-
For large files, check hosting storage and upload limits.
-
You can update a file later by replacing it in the Media Library (the link will stay the same if you use “replace file”).
