 * Hi,
    Some time ago I noticed a problem with adding files that have the same name.
   I add PDF files from time to time, the names of which may duplicate. I noticed
   that after uploading such a file to the server and adding a shortcode to the 
   entry, when I tried to open this file from the page, the file was replaced with
   the new one in the entry that was added long ago.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-adding-attachments-with-the-same-name%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
