  Which slideshow do you mean, the theme slider on the front page of your site or a regular slideshow?

  Are the links going to the photos or to somewhere else?

  I mean a regular slideshow. The links should go to pdf documents. Thanks.

  Not possible when using the slideshow, which is basically just a viewer.

  Once the present misdirecting links problem is solved by Staff, you could add a Gallery just below the slideshow displaying the same images as the slideshow, but with a link in the image Caption to the PDF.

  However, I would wait until the pandemic links problem I mentioned is resolved before doing this.

  And to answer your next question, WordPress.com stats do not track how many times your documents are downloaded.
