how to click on name of PDF file and have it open on my website?

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. Please do not use Developing With WordPress for these topics. ]

    A page on my website lists several articles I have written for various publications. When someone visits the page, I want them to be able to click on the title of each article and have it open so they can read the article. I hired someone to do this for me about a year ago, so some of the articles listed on my page are already set up to open when the titles are clicked on. I want to learn how to do this myself, because I will always be writing new articles. I have typed the titles of some new articles onto the page. But, I don’t know how to make it so that clicking on these titles opens the articles. At this point, I am clearly a wordpress neophyte, so I will need simple step-by-step instructions that leave no guess-work or trial and error. So far, I don’t know how to find any answers if someone posts them on this site, so, if possible, please reply to my email. Thanks!

  • Hi johnfaubion,

    Can you pass along a url on your site that has these articles you would like to make linkable?

    Hello maneuveru: Thank you for your offer. A thoughtful tech at GoDaddy helped me yesterday, but now I am looking for written instructions to follow so I am able to do this again when I need to. My website is https://www.lawrencetenneystevens.com. This is a site about an artist whose art estate I manage. I have made discoveries in his archives that will be rewriting portions of American art history that I want collectors to know about. I will be adding updates about when my book will be published, when I will be speaking at a significant symposium about these discoveries, etc… . I have tried to find simple instructions for wordpress 4.7.4 and have failed. Yesterday, I was not able to log back onto wordpress because it kept claiming there was password and/or username error. It took several tries today, and I had to change my password numerous times before I could log on, so, if it takes me awhile to reply to you again, that is why. Thank you for whatever help you are able to provide.
