*In case of error and another file by the same name must be uploaded to the Media Library, the old file must first be deleted from the Media Library (see below). Otherwise, the system will see that there is a file by the same name and will attach a digit to the new file’s name: e.g., DEI.pdf is renamed DEI-1.pdf and each subsequent file by that name will increase the digit, e.g., DEI-2.pdf. But the code will still be looking for the original filename.

Understanding the HTML Code
HTML is an acronym for HyperText Markup Language, which is embedded code in text describing how the text should display and behave.
<h3><a href=”https://pcdemclub.org/wp-content/uploads/filename.pdf”>text to display</a></h3>
<h3>…</h3>: Font size of embedded text.
<a href=”Address of file to link to“>text of link to display</a>
https://pcdemclub.org = pcdemclub.org (this is set in a different part of the system and will be substituted in at run time.)
pcdemclub.org/wp-content/uploads: Location of the pcdemclub.org media library where the file is located.
