Uploading documents to the document library (Admins only)
Youlgrave Website Document Library
As part of the modernisation of the Youlgrave site and specifically in relation to the Bugle archive, I have utilised the document library plugin Document Library Pro. This creates an easy-to-use interface allowing for the uploading of documents and the categorisation of those documents. In turn, this creates a user-friendly front-end interface allowing visitors to locate and view/download the issues they are interested in.
The video below demonstrates the process of uploading a document. Written instructions follow.

Uploading a document
To upload a new document, you need to access the admin control panel at the admin URL, using your email/username and password. Once in the admin panel you will find a menu item on the left-hand menu entitled ‘Documents’. Hovering over this item will show a list of options including ‘Add New’. Clicking Add New will take you to the Add New Document screen. You should then follow the process below to add a new issue.
- Enter a document title. Normally this will simply be ‘The Bugle’.
- Enter the issue number, e.g., 242.
- Select the month of the issue. Note here that you can select more than one month for double issues.
- Select the relevant year(s).
- Now, moving to the right-hand side of the screen, categorise the document. This will normally be according to the year(s).
- Under the heading ‘Document Link’ select ‘File Upload’ and click ‘Add File’. You will be directed to the standard WordPress media screen.
- In the media screen select ‘Upload Files’ and navigate to the location of your file, select it and upload it before clicking ‘Add File’.
- Finally click Publish to publish that document.
