How to upload and add a document in WordPress

You may need to add documents to your website for users to access, so here is a step-by-step guide to uploading a document to Wordpress

Upload a Document

First, you will need to go to Documents and select Add New.

You will need to fill in the Title which will be the title of the Document you are uploading; please note, this will be what will appear when a user visits your website.

You can then choose to have a description filled for your Document if you find it necessary.
