How to upload file attachment in WordPress?
We always used “Add an Image” icon to upload image into our post. But how do we upload a file? Actually WordPress editor does provide handy function for us to upload a file.
In WordPress Editor, click on “Add Media” icon. This function is used to upload some file like text file or zip file to let user download it.


After uploaded the file, it will provide us a link URL to download the file.
Worked like a champ for me. Thanks for the help, my ZIP file is now available to the world.
don’t work anymore -__-
It doesnt not work with me to upload zip file:
“Allowed file types: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, pdf, doc, ppt, odt, pptx, docx, pps, ppsx, xls, xlsx”
Thanks! got it
Thanks for the share. I’ve been trying to upload files to my site and I could not figure it out.
I could kiss you! I’ve been trying to fanny around for days with FTP uploads etc. So glad I found this and thanks for taking the trouble – you’ve made my week!!
