Yes , thank you. I have tried <a href="http://mysite.com/mydocs/filename.extension">Click Here To View This File</a> as mentioned in my first post.

I have pretty decent experience coding HTML and CSS. Prior to using WordPress if I wanted to link to a file, the only path I would need to create would be <a href="mydocs/filename.extension">Click Here</a> However I am new to WordPress and dont understand how it is different here.

Lets use a more direct example: If my site were MyFavoriteColors.com, and the root folder is “MyFavoriteColors” (the core PHP and style.css files reside here )with folders inside named “Red” “Green” “White”, and a file that I wanted to link to in the “Red” folder named “Crimson.jpg” then what would the path be?

I have tried both <a href="Red/Crimson.jpg">Click Here</a> and <a href="http://MyFavoriteColors.com/Red/Crimson.jpg">Click Here</a>

Neither I work. I must be missing something very simple.

Thanks for the response. I did check the permissions and the folder “my docs” was set to default xxx so I changed it to 755. But this did not fix anything.

Even when I try to link to a file in the base of the wordpress site, where the PHP files and style.css file are located, still get a 404.
