    I’m looking at the instruction to upload a file to a post (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Uploading_Files#To_Upload_a_File_in_a_Post).

    It says to use the “Upload/Insert”menu, but its ambiguous as to whether that’s supposed to be on the Dashboard or on the new post page that opens.

    But I can’t find that menu in either place. What am I missing?

    I should be able to do it without FTP, shouldn’t I?

    I tried uploading via Media->Add New, but all it seemed to do was to upload the title of the document.

    So where is the “Upload/Insert” menu that the codex document tells me I should be finding?

    (p.s. I ended up using the Classic block and pasting the document in. But presumably that shouldn’t be necessary when using the new and improved Gutenberg.)

    Well I uploaded the file using Filezilla. It shows in the FileManager for my WP site (/xx.com/www/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/DarkHoursReview.odt).

    But it doesn’t show in the Media Library.
