  Hello,

  I uploaded a PDF file to my media files. I then sent out an email to about 20 people including the URL of the file.

  I then edited the file, deleted the old version from Worpdress and uploaded it the new version.

  The URL is different from the original upload. Is there anyway to edit it so as it matches the URL I sent out.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I usually have the file referenced in a Post then email out the URL of the Post – then when I update or change the file people still have the Post (or Page) URL and not the file – when I have a change to a file many times I will change the name of the file to indicate a new revision and now you know the file has been updated.

  Yeah I should of used dropbox.

  I’ve emailed support asking if someone could change the URL for me.

  Other than that I’ll have have to get back to everyone.
