WordPress: A Documents Page

This article is really for my clients, but anyone using WordPress could benefit from it.

I needed to create a documentation page for some clients – basically a page where they can upload and name links to forms, procedures, and general information documents. As always, we should keep it simple.

Make a Page

• Login to the WordPress admin panel
• Click the “Pages” menu item

Click Pages then Add New

• Add your title
• Using the Format drop-down menu, select Header 3

Made a heading section: Use the Format drop-down menu to select Heading 3

• Enter a simple heading
• Do a paragraph return <Enter>
• Click the Insert Media icon (it’s the little grey badge to the right of the little grey musical note

Click the little, grey Add Media icon - it's to the right of the little grey musical icon

• When the Add Media window displays, click the Select Files button to upload your document
• Name and caption the file appropriately
• Click the Insert Into Post link

Click the Select File button, navigate to your file and upload

• Give WordPress a second to process your requet
• Voila – link to a document
