Tutorial: Text links to a File

Step 1

Step 2

Via the tab Files click the tab marked Upload and click the Browse.. button and select and upload a file to your website (for this example the file will be called: pricelist.pdf)

Step 3

Click the tab Edit to edit your page, locate the “Home” page as this is where we will be adding the text link.

Step 4

In the edit window, input a new line of text that says:

Click here to view my pricelist

Step 5

We will make the text 'Click here' the link to the file. Add square brackets [ and ] around the text you would like to make into a link, like this:

[Click here] to view my pricelist

Step 6

Now inside the closing bracket ] add two equals signs ==, like this:

[Click here==] to view my pricelist

Step 7

And then after the 2 equals == add the filename of the File we will link to, for instance the filename we uploaded is called pricelist.pdf, the code would look like this:

[Click here==pricelist.pdf] to view my pricelist

Step 8

Now wrap your filename in double exclamation marks !!, like this:

[Click here==!!pricelist.pdf!!] to view my pricelist

Step 9

Finally, add the words :url after file extension (in this example the file extension is .pdf), like this:

[Click here==!!pricelist.pdf:url!!] to view my pricelist

As before, once you have inputted the Text code click [Save changes] and then have a look at your website’s Home page.

Please note: you will need to refresh the page of your website to view the changes.
