Ability to upload a document and then have it listed on a page

  • Hi All,

    I’m creating a business website for the small company I work for and one of the things I’d like to be able to do is have a page where one of our sales people can upload a document, generally a PDF doc, and then have it listed on the page with a description.

    We have a list of documents that need to be able to be downloaded by clients that change all the time and I’d like to make it so the sales team can upload them without me having to get involved OR teach them to do it in wordpress.

    Any help on this would be great. This is my first wordpress experience and so far it’s going great. I’m just getting lost with all of the different plugins and I’ve tried a dozen already with lack luster results.

  • Lots of ways to do this. I’d register each salesperson as an author. That would give them the ability to upload the docs and publish the descriptions without having to rely on any plugins. Use categories or tags to organize the content. You won’t get far if they are unwilling to be trained. Perhaps one of them can be assigned to learn WP if none are willing to volunteer. I’d use a plugin as a last resort just because I’ve found plugins require more maintenance than the core WP features.

    Ok thanks for the input. I’ll check out the codex on setting them up as authors.
