Inserting a PDF, JPEG or TIF image into a web page

    Hello,

    I have tried to insert a pdf, jpeg and tif image onto my WordPress web page and it will not let me. I downloaded several plugins that seem to speak to that problem, but they don’t seem to upload on the web site and I still can’t upload the documents. When I do attempt to upload them, the image is not shown in the media library even though it can be seen in the dashboard. However, when I try and insert if from there I receive a warning (in red text) on the web page saying the image is too large (or something to that effect).

    Take care,

    Glenn

  • You can resize an image here: https://www.resizeyourimage.com/

    If you open a Post or Page (from your WordPress Dashboard), at the top of the content box, you’ll see Add Media. This is all you need to add images. No other plugin is needed.

    To add a PDF, the method should be the same.

    I would delete the extra plugins you’ve added, as unnecessary plugins can cause problems.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Laura,

    Thanks so much for your response and I apologize it took me so long to reply. Work and personal commitments have kept me far too busy. What you suggested worked perfectly.

    If you might be so kind as to answer another inquiry I have, it would be greatly appreciated. I’m building this site mainly to be a web site, but the majority of templates are set up to be blog sites. I wouldn’t mind having one page dedicated to a blog, but I don’t want every page on the web site to be blog oriented, it’s distracting to the material on the page. I’ve searched through the various options in the template I’m using and I cannot find anything that turns off the blog portion or simply creates lone pages that are not blog oriented. I asked the DreamHost people if I could be switched over to just a web site type program and they said WordPress is mainly set up for blogs, but it can be tweaked to remove the bog settings. This is completely beyond my capabilities and I have found nothing in the template that indicates this might be done, so if you can tell me how to do so, it would be greatly appreciated. “Inkzine” is the template theme I’m using. If I must switch templates, please let me know which template I should use for this purpose. However, the Inkzine template provides the best look for my site of all the ones I’ve tried so far. So if it can be tweaked, that would work best for me.

    By the way I’ve deleted as many of the plugins as I could. Some are stuck because they now run certain things on the web site.

    Thanks…

    Take care,

    Glenn

    Looks like I’m not supposed to ask additional questions about a different topic. I’ve resolved my second question as it is by reading other forums. Thanks…
