 * Hello!
 * I am trying to add some links to one of my pages to a folder I have made in the
   FTP. But I am not sure how to construct the link because I am not sure where 
   WP is pulling the information. Currently I have it under my public_html and then
   the Home folder. I tried it just under the public_html and it wouldnt catch it.
   I am having more success with it being under the Home folder but its still not
   loading the content.
 * Any suggestions?

 * URLs should be relative to the public_html directory. So if you have a file at`
   public_html/folder/file.jpg`, then the URL would be `http://mywebsite.com/folder/
   file.jpg`

 * I tried that and it worked, thank you, but the file isnt on the WordPress site.
   Its solely on the FTP. The type of file I am trying to use, php, will not let
   me upload through the WordPress. So again Im just trying to link it from the 
   FTP. If that makes any sense.

 * Doesn’t matter what the filetype is, if it’s in public_html that’s what the link
   to it would look like.
