Doc files in sidebar?

  • Hello, I have uploaded several word files into my media library. Is it possible to create links to those files in my sidebar?

    Also, is it possible to link photos from media library in the sidebar?

    Thank you very much!

  • Yes, it’s possible.You can use a default text widget and add something like this:
    <img title="title" alt="your alt" src="https://www.yoursite/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/yourimage.jpg" width="300" height="127">
    You need to locate the url of the image you want to add in the Media library.
    Would you add the doc files as link or you would use an image to point to the download location?

    Thanks. How do I locate the url of a doc file in my media library?

    One of the ways is to go to your Media library, locate the doc file, hover over the title and click on Edit. On the new screen (on the right side) you will see a field called File URL. Copy the URL to your text widget.
    Example:
    <a href="https://your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/yourdoc.doc">Word Document</a>
