  Hello,

  Is there no way to track uploaded files that have URL links through WP? I send out a newsletter with a link hosted by HP but have not found a way to track how many hits it is receiving. Do you have any advice?

  Thanks,

  You can find an overview of the file downloads in the “Clicks” section of your Site Stats page. Please read this guide to learn all about Site Stats.

  Yes, but that only tracks the clicks from the site. It doesn’t track if the link is clicked from an email, which is what I’m trying to accomplish. Any ideas?

  There’s actually no way to track those, as referrer and click records can only be generated within a web browser.
