  Remove that link or replace it with the working link.

  It is a free site. The PDF has been deleted. https://sightseeinginfo.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/westminster-sightseeing-walk.pdf

  1. Find and Remove the Broken Link:

  Go to the post or page where the broken PDF link is. In the WordPress editor, look for the link that’s causing the problem.

  You’ve got two options here:

  Delete the link entirely if you don’t need it anymore. Upload a new PDF if you have an updated version or replacement.

  Just go to Add Media, upload the new file, and then replace the old link with the new one.

  2. Save Your Changes:After fixing or removing the link, hit Update or Publish to make the changes live.

  An invalid or non-excisting link always give a 404 – not found. That’s how the internet works.
