Replacing PDF Files in WordPress

  1. If you want to replace a PDF that is already uploaded in the Media Library, please rename your new PDF to have the date or a version number in the title. (WordPress will still try to go to the previous PDF file if you upload a file with the same name.)
  2. Copy the URL link from the Media Library attachment page then find the page your link is on.
  3. Replace the link on that page.
  4. You may also delete the old PDF file from the Media Library.
  5. Check to be sure that the link is working on the front end of the website.

Replacing Google Doc Links on the Website

  1. To keep the URL link the same, go to the Google drive file you want to update, right click and choose “Manage Versions” -> “Upload New Version.” This way you won’t have to update the link on the webpage and people who have already booked-marked the pdf will still have a working link.
