  When I link a publication through ‘add new’ feature in wordpress, the link will not open unless it is a pdf. (These links are all off of the internet).

  And that site address is… nationalaglawcenter.org ? If so, that site is using the standalone WordPress software.

  For help with a site using the open source WordPress (org) software you’ll want to head over to https://wordpress.org/support where they likely have more experience with the type of issue you are having. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on that page. You might also try searching the forums there for a similar issue before posting.

  Just to clarify, this support forum assists users of WordPressdotcom hosted sites. Standalone WordPress (org) and WordPressdotcom (where we are ) are different entities with separate documentation and support forums; more information about the differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
