I want to link a Post Title to the PDF. I feel my solution is somewhere in wp_get_attachment_url() but I can't figure out how. Also, I'd like my pdf to be located in ../wp-content/uploads/year/month/pdf-name.pdf for about 12 post going back 2 years. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

• The Page Links To plugin should take care of that without excess bloat. – Knut Sparhell Commented Oct 7, 2019 at 8:50

I recommend using the plugin Advanced Custom Fields (Very popular plugin). It lets you create fields and manage their values very easily.

This way you could just create a new field for file upload and then to pull its information like this-

<?php
    $my_file = get_field('my_file');
    if( $my_file ) {
        echo $my_file['url'];
        echo $my_file['alt'];
        echo $my_file['...
    }
?>
