Links to Local Drive link!

  • Hi,

    I am creating an intranet at work. I am trying to create a link from the site to a local document.

    so far i did this:

    <a href="C:/folder/file.pdf/">File</a>

    but it doesnt seem to work. The link is created, but does nothing!

    Any workarounds to this? I have looked around a lot, and found many old posts, which dont work. Don’t know if this is because the posts are rather old and the version of wordpress is different.

    Thank’s in advance

  • It seems to me that this is probably not the correct path to your file. Most likely not a WordPress issue. As I don’t know the actual file path, it’s hard to speculate. For one thing, I recommend removing the / after the file type (.pdf) as that is incorrect.

    It doesn’t work! As far as I know it is correct to include the extension, although I have tried without it too.

    Please note that this works with IE explorer, but it is not working with Chrome
