# How do I get the attachment url? – Function reference

 * I have a “gallery” that contains posts from a category. The gallery is on the“
   download section” page. It displays all the thumbnails posts from the category“
   documents”.
 * With the WCK plugin I added a field to attach uploaded *.pdf files to the post.
 * What I want: When I click on one post in the gallery, it must link to the uploaded
   pdf file.
 * In the code within the loop, I try to call the url of the uploaded attachment
   in the following way:
 * `<a href="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_link(); ?>"`
 * But now the only link I get is : “missing attachment”.
 * Where can I find the correct code to get the link of my uploaded attachment?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi,
 * Please check out this documentation page [http://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/wordpress-creation-kit-documentation/upload/](http://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/wordpress-creation-kit-documentation/upload/)
   that details how to use the upload field.

 * [@madalin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madalin/): Thanks! It’s working
   now.
    I was searching for this: `<img src="<?php the_cfc_field('my_meta_name','
   avatar'); ?>" />`
 * I now have an upload field for a specific post.
    I configured it at the custom
   fields creator.
 * There is a field called “post id” under meta box arguments. I can fill in the
   ID of a post on which the meta box should appear.
 * How do I add this custom field to multiple posts? Or even better; add it to posts
   in a specific category?
 * I now have to fill in a specific ID of a post on which the meta box should appear.
   I want to know if it is possible to **add the custom field to all posts by default**,
   instead of one specific post?
 * Thanks in advance!
