How does WordPress treat a PDF file? I have introduced one before and I think I must have done it wrong.
Is a pdf looked at like a link or something else, the last one I saw
A pdf is a downloadable link. This is used when you want someone to sign up in exchange for the pdf checklist, etc.
You can also make an image into a pdf, and will retain its shape and size to make a poster. Something I learned when crating an event poster.
A drawing or sketch- you can take a picture of it and add to your media library, same for your pdf file.

Is it better to use a photo of a pdf file?

Hey Rob,
Depends on what it is that you want done with your PDF file.
You can set it up strictly as a downloadable file, embed it using a plugin... or even use a flip book plugin to have it displayed as a book.
I've done all three... which is why I suggested that it depends on what you want your viewers/visitors to do with the file.
Hope you find this helpful.

Hello Robby,
You could always screenshot your drawings and pictures and upload them that way. However, I think that Frank may have solved your problem.
Have a great day.

Hi Rob
You can upload a PDF file into your WordPress Media Library and then load it as a block in the Block Editor. It will show the PDF on-screen and give the option to download it.

Hi Frank,
I am not in WordPress at the moment, but that must be where I went wrong and didn't put it in the media file, does that mean when you click on options in the block editor I will see the option to upload a PDF fiel or just as a media file the same as a photo?
Thanks Rob
Yes, I believe there is a PDF block, but I'm not at home to check. Take a look, and you will find it.
I don't know about a specific "pdf" block, but there is a "file" block which links to the media library where, as Frank mentioned, you can load your pdf. Hope this helps.
Dan/Rob
Yes, use the "file" block to load a PDF from the Media Library.
Got guests, gotta go. 😎

How important are the recommendations inside the site manager of WA? The Publishing Frequency I get, visitor and my engagement I have comments on most posts, not all and I do r
All,
These replies and helped me and with the help of my new best friend, R2D2, I have fixed some of the issues. Basically, one of my biggest mistakes is following different recommendations for plugins, which did what others told me, but keeping them active after the problem was solved. Instead of deactivating/deleting but saving them for later use.

Hey Rob,
It seems there isn't much left about SiteFeedback, other than Loe's great post here: Difference between feedback and comments See screen print as to how to access SiteFeedback.
As for plugins, you may find the following article helpful in making your decision: https://qodeinteractive.com/magazine/deactivate-vs-uninstall-wordpress-plugin/#before-deactivating-or-uninstalling-plugin
I found that post searching on DuckDuckGo, using your question: "Plugins, is it best to uninstall and reinstall when you need some of the less frequently used ones" (without the quotation marks, of course).
Hope you find this helpful.
Hi Trish,
And thank you as always, I am back from my outing in the workplace and now absorbing information again.
I had not even noticed site comments before, let alone used it. Guess I better get on board in these long winter months.

Hi Frank,
I will be catching up with stuff like that, never even knew of let alone used site comments on either site before.
