Media Library File Management

Accessing the Media Library #

1. Open the left sidebar menu
2. Navigate to: Media

Uploading a File to the Media Library #

1. Click: Add Media File
2. Upload the file:
   1. Drag and drop the file into the upload area, or
   2. Click Select Files and choose the file from your computer
3. Wait for the upload to complete

Copying a File Link #

1. Click on the uploaded file to open its details
2. Copy the File URL (usually found under “Attachment details” or “File URL” on the right-hand panel)
3. Remove the domain name from the copied URL, keeping only the relative path (e.g., use /wp-content/uploads/2026/08/job-opportunities-07232026.pdf instead of https://carbondigital.biz/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/job-opportunities-07232026.pdf)
4. Click: Close or navigate away once you’ve copied the URL

Deleting a File from the Media Library #

1. Locate the file you want to remove:
   1. List View – Hover over the file’s row, then click Delete Permanently
   2. Grid View – Click on the file to open its details, then click Delete Permanently on the right-hand panel
2. Confirm the deletion when prompted

⚠️ Warning: Once you confirm the deletion, the file cannot be retrieved. If the file is linked anywhere on your site (e.g., in a table cell or downloadable file field), those links will break.

Bulk Deleting Files from the Media Library #

1. Open the left sidebar menu
2. Navigate to: Media
3. Switch to List View (bulk actions are only available in this view)
4. Check the box next to each file you want to remove (or check the top box to select all)
5. From the Bulk actions dropdown, select Delete Permanently
6. Click: Apply
7. Confirm the deletion when prompted

Important Notes #

• Using the relative path instead of the full URL makes it easier to migrate content if the domain changes in the future, since the links won’t need to be updated.
