It’s been a few days and I still haven’t been able to figure this one out. Anyone?

toughIQ – same issue here with PDF files!

my upload folder is /wp-content/uploads like it is supposed to be.

Uploading an image file and then using “Send to Editor” and “Link to file” works just fine.

Uploading a PDF file and using “Send to Editor” and “Link to file” it assigns the link /wp-admin/ instead of /wp-content/uploads

It DOES put the PDF file in the right place – the /wp-content/uploads folder – but it’s just the link that thhe editor create to the file that gives it the wrong path.

So for example, if I upload “test.pdf” and “test.jpg” – both files go correctly into the uploads folder. But when I “Send to editor / link to file” it makes the path /wp-content/uploads/test.jpg for the JPG file, and /wp-admin/test.pdf for the PDF file.

I’ve been sitting here for almost an hour pulling out my hair trying to figure out what’s up! You have no idea how relieved I was to see your post and at least know that it’s not just me.

Now, trying to figure out why WP upload / link to file feature does not like PDF… well… that’s beyond me…

Well basically I want to use word press as more of a web site rather than a blog. I like the idea of having a blog section, but I want the main page to like the other “pages” of the site rather than “posts”. That way I can change the content of the main page at any time, but when I add a blog post it does not get added to the main page of the site nor change the main page in any way.

Let’s say I logged into admin on my WP, and I created a new page called “About”. That page becomes a link in my “Pages” links menu on the sidebar. Well, I would like to add a page that is called “Home”, just like I did with “About”, but have “Home” be the actual default page when someone arrives at my WP site.

Sorry if I’m not making sense or being clear enough…
