Media on WordPress

Media Definition and Adding Media

On WordPress at K, Media consists of the images and files that you upload and use on your website. There are two methods to adding media to your website:

  1. Media can be added directly into your Media Library
  2. Media can also be uploaded and inserted into the content when writing a Post or writing a Page.

Get to Know the Interface

  • Media Add New Screen – Learn how to upload images and files for use in your posts and pages.
  • Your Media Library – Explore views and features within your Media Library.
  • Grid view – Filter options, delete media, and access individual media details.
  • List view – Understand the media table columns, filter options, and how to use selection, actions, and apply.
  • Edit media – WordPress offers limited image editing for SCEs. Here’s an overview of the media editing page.

Media Processes and Protocols

Documents

PDF Protocol

PDFs cannot be uploaded by SCEs. Instead, you must submit your PDF to Web Services for accessibility review first. If it passes the accessibility check then Web Services will upload the document to your Media Library on WordPress and you can link to the document by using the URL provided in your Media Library.
