Allow File Submission on a Page

    I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to allow visitors to your WordPress.com website to submit a file. For example, they fill out a form and at the end of the form they click “Choose file” and send in a .pdf or .doc(x) file. I know that there is a simple form option, but I need a way to submit documents (if possible).

    I have found some HTML ways to add the button and have it be sent to an email of your choosing. The button appears when creating the webpage. However, when the page is published, the choose file button does not show up.

    The theme being used in Collinear.

    Any help or direction that may be provided would be much appreciated!

    Hi there, we don’t have a way to allow the public to submit files to your site. One thought I had was to include a paragraph about submissions and an HTML email link at the top above a standard contact form and then you would receive the submissions via email. You can even specify a subject line so that they would be easier to recognize in your email client. You can learn more about the HTML email link and its options here.

    If the code is not showing up, or is being striped out when you save a post or page, that means that the code is not allowed typically. If you paste your code here, I can have a look at it to see for sure. To do that, click the code button at the top of the forum reply box and then paste the code between the HTML code tags like this.
    <code>Paste code here</code>
