Hi, is there any built-in feature in Newspaper for uploading general files (PDF etc.) as attachments for the post? For creating some “download list” below post? Or at least recommended plugin?
Hello @pavel_t!
There is a workaround for that. Please follow the steps:
1. Install the ACF plugin.
2. Build a field with these settings applied: https://prnt.sc/QtZ0TXke3f-N (Save changes)
3. Use Gutenberg to edit a post/article, then upload your pdf file from Media Library in the field you created. (Update post)
4. Edit the post’s template and add a button with these settings applied: https://prnt.sc/dZW5xvbzU3kK (Save changes)
5. View the post/article and click on the button. It will lead to your pdf file, from where you can download it.
Thank you!
I see, but it is not exactly what I am looking for. I did not express myself precisely. I need something like email creation process. You create email there is “add attachment” button, you can attach one or more general files. And at the end there is “see attachments” list bellow email. With filename, icons according to extension, filesize etc. Long time ago I used plugin “Easy attachment”, which did the same service in WordPress. There was field “add attachment” bellow post form. And if there was any attachment for post, “Download” list was shown bellow post for visitors.
I know it is possible to upload file to Media library and then insert into post link for it, but I prefer more user friendly way. And if I try insert “file” in Guttenberg editor, for PDF it is creating not link for download but live PDF preview too…
SOLUTION (for someone with the same problem): I use Newspaper Cloud Template for eshop with WooCommerce plugin. Finally I found plugin Product Attachment for WooCommerce in free version. Now I could for product attach PDF files for download. It appears in Product Tab element in TD editor. I needed to change a little bit design so I created child theme for Newspaper and modified CSS and functions.php. Works perfect.
