Greetings,

I've created my Download page using a wp plugin.

How or where do I put the PDF file so it can be download from the download page?



Hope this makes sense. Thanks

    Hey TheNewGuy2010,

    In the text editor, Type something like "Right Click here and Save Filë",
    Select that text and hit the anchor button in the editor to add the link
    Simply upload the file via the media uploader.

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

    You can put the PDF where ever you want if its a free download

    I.E.

    http://yourdomain.com/downloads/ebook.pdf

    Just make a directory off your root call "downloads" without the quotes
    Upload your PDF to that directory

    On your download page just have a link on that page like this

    <a href="http://yourdomain.com/downloads/ebook.pdf">Click Here to Download</a>

    If it's a ebook somebody bought then I don't recommend the above only there other ways to make it my secure..

    In wordpress I simply upload the PDF to the media files and link back to the url. Treat it the same as you would an image and a .pdf file wil be created automatically. Use the .pdf url as the download link for your offering. - I think that's what you're asking. Hope it helps.

    If the PDF is not meant to be free I would suggest to zip it.

    You can use a free zip tool 7zip.

    The reason is because search engine bots can read and show results for pdf

    I think you should secure download page with a url like your-domain[dot]com/download.php?id=filename to hide your download and avoiding direct download from some where else
