    Hi,
    I’m trying to add links to pdf’s in the footer with a text widget but I get the following page:
    Not Found
    The requested URL /new-website/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/pavingretaining_prices.pdf/ was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    This is the code I used in the text widget:

    Paving & Retaining</br>

    I’m not sure why it’s not working… is there a better way of doing this?
    Thank you,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    That means that something is wrong in the path to the document, could you try to verify that the file exists at the location you are linking to?

    Thanks,

    Hi Rikard,
    Yes I had already checked that, I actually went into the media library > selected the pdf I wanted to link to and then copied the url from there into a footer text widget… doesn’t work for unknown reason.
    Could you have another look?
    Thanks so much,
    Lisa

    Hi,

    Please try this instead: 

    <a href="http://www.staffords.com.au/new-website/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/pavingretaining_prices.pdf">Link to your PDF</a>

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I already tried that too…
    Any other solutions?

    Hi Lisa,

    Try removing the trailing forward slash, it should work after that.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
