How to Add a Link in a Tablepress Table

November 10, 2015 //  by admin

How to add a link in a Tablepress table in WordPressWorking with the TablePress WordPress Plugin

The TablePress WordPress plugin allows you to easily create and manage beautiful tables on your WordPress website without needing to know HTML. You can embed the tables into posts, pages, or text widgets with a simple Shortcode.

Table data can be edited in a speadsheet-like interface, so no coding is necessary.

While Tablepress tables can contain any type of data, even formulas that will be evaluated, learning to use this more advanced functionality of the plugin can be confusing.

One of the most common requirements you may need is for you to be able to add a link to data in a Tablepress table. We show you how to do this using the Tablepress Advanced Editor in the video below.

How to Upload a PDF file to WordPress and Create A Link To the PDF

October 10, 2015 //  by admin

In this video I show you how to upload a PDF file WordPress and link to that PDF document.

WordPress Edit Screen

Create the Text You Want to Transform into a Link

The first thing we need to do is make sure we have the text that we want to transform into our link created.

In the video, we have created the text –  ‘Link to the PDF’.

Upload the PDF

Now the next thing we need to do is upload your PDF to the server. You do that by clicking on the “Add Media” button.

The media upload window will pop up. This screen will give us the option to upload files from our computer.

Select the “Upload Files” tab. Then click on the button and it will let you browse your computer and find the document that you want to upload.

Browse your computer for the PDF that you want to upload. Select that PDF and click “Open”.

Get the URL that goes directly to the PDF on the Server

Ok, the system will “think” for a second while it uploads it and once it’s done, you’ll see some information over on the right about your PDF.

Now the only piece of information we really need here is the URL that goes directly to the PDF file on the server. You can get that from the URL field on the right side of the screen. Select that URL manually with your cursor and then copy that to your clipboard.

Exit the Media Upload Screen

Now, instead of using this “Insert into page” option, we are going to exit out of this screen and we’re going to create the link ourselves using the text we like.

After exiting the Media Upload window, select the text you want to transform into a link and then click on the Insert/Edit Link icon.

Now here in this field, we’re going to paste the URL that goes directly to the PDF. (Remember that we have it copied onto our clipboard so all we need to do is paste it in here.)

You can choose whether or not to open this link in a new window or the same window using the checkbox. With PDFs, I usually like to open them in a new separate window, but really that’s up to you.

Then click “Add Link”.

Update the Page and Check Your Work

Click the “Update” button to update the page. Then view the page and just double-check that your link works how you expected it to to work.
