  For references to files in our Media (they are PDFs), is there a way to use our domain name (gadoliniumtoxicity.com) rather than them having the .files.wordpress. construct as in https://gdtoxicity.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/gd-retention-study.pdf I really do not like it the way it is.

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

  Hi there,

  Currently, it isn’t possible to remove the “.files.wordpress” portion of the file address.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!

  Tell someone they need to provide a way. Not very domain name supportive.

  I definitely understand! One workaround would be to create a post or page and embed the document within that page:

  Upload a Document

  Then, you could direct individuals to the post/page URL instead of the actual file URL. That might help a bit. However, when the individual clicks to open the document, they will still see “.files.wordpress” in the address bar.
