How do I attach files to my pages?

You can add an attachment to a page, allowing anyone who visits that page to download it. To add an attachment, click on the "Add attachment" link on the Page Toolbox. If you do not see the link, be sure that you are signed in to this site and have the ability to edit pages.

Add attachment

The "Add Attachment" dialog will appear.
"Add Attachment" dialog

On this dialog, you can find the attachment you want to add and write a brief description about it. When finished, click the "Add Attachment" button and your file will be uploaded to the site.
Note: Attachments cannot exceed 500k,1MB, and there is a limit to the number of attachments that can be on a site. If that limit is reached and you cannot add an attachment, you can free up space by viewing a list of all attachments on the site and remove any that you have added.


FAQ

Q: Why can't I attach a file?

A: The most common problem is that you have not signed in. Only a site's registered users may upload files, and the "Attach a file" link will not appear in the page toolbox until you've signed in. Signing up for a site is free, of course. Another possibility is that the site's creator has set the contribution permissions to "Only people I invite." In that case, you must be a writer on the site to upload files.

Q: How many files can we add to our Wetpaint site?

A: You can have 20 file attachments total.

Q: Is there a size limit for files?

A: Yes. Each file cannot be larger than 500k.1MB.

Q: What types of files can we upload?

A: Any type you want, so long as you have the legal right to distribute the file. Uploading copyrighted material is a big no-no, according to Wetpaint's Terms of Use.
