Add a PDF to drop down menu
Adding a PDF or document file to the drop-down menus in WordPress takes a few steps but is fairly quick and simple once you have done it a few times. The basic steps of this are:
- Upload the PDF to the media library
- Copy the URL for the path to the file in the media library
- Add a Link to the menu or update an existing one with that file path
The following screenshots outline in detail the process of adding or changing a link to a PDF in a WordPress drop-down menu.
01 – Open WordPress Media Library and Add New
02 – Select PDF files from your hard-drive
03 – The file will upload (crunching)
04 – Once upload complete click edit link
05 – Highlight and copy the File URL
If there is already a PDF link in your WordPress menu that you want to update rather than adding a new link then skip to Step 11 and change the existing link details.
06 – Click the links tab
07 – Link adding to menu box
08 – Paste in the File URL from before
09 – Type a link name and Add to Menu
10 – Drag menu item into position
If you are happy with the position of the link and don’t need to make any further changes to the link name then you can now click Save Menu and exit.
11 – If PDF link is already in the menu click it
12 – Replace old link with new PDF link
13 – Save Menu changes
