 * Thanks for your help. I’ll let this drop for the time being. My theme provider
   has pretty awesome support and I might ask their opinion. The problem may be 
   with the theme.

 * Thanks for your help, but unfortunately, this does not work either. I have made
   the code change you suggested, but the blog index page is still showing the related
   post titles.

 * Thanks for your response. In answer to the questions in your email, no, I have
   not changed anything about the plugin – not sure I would know how. My theme has
   been active and working fine for a couple of months and I decided to try the 
   Related Posts plugin. Initially I couldn’t figure out how it worked – it took
   a while to realize I had to switch out of Visual Composer to even see the interface.
 * In the meantime, I had installed the JetPack set of plug ins which also has a
   similar plugin. Your product noticed that I had it installed. Long story short,
   there was a conflict and so I deactivated both plugins and gave up. That’s when
   I noticed that even after deletion/deactivation, the blog summary had disappeared
   altogether and could not be shown. I tried reinstalling your plugin for this 
   latest post, found some related posts and connected them to my post as per instructions.
   When I went to the index page, all I see is the related posts.
 * From my experience with the first post, removing the related articles does not
   restore my blog summary. It just leaves the whole thing blank, except for the
   title. See the second blog entry on the site:
 * [http://brucepollockphotography.com/blog/](http://brucepollockphotography.com/blog/)
 * I think for the moment I will leave things intact.

 * Follow-up: I have tried again to use the Media Library uploader to place the .
   pdf into my server and I appear to have resolved things. Thanks for your assistance.

 * I’m sorry to be so thick about this, but it’s not clear to me which folder that
   would be. Within the public_html folder, I have the following folders:
 * /cgi-bin
    /wp-admin /wp-content /wp-includes
 * I have tried putting the .pdf into /wp-content (which seems closest to what you
   have described) but this still returns a 404 when I try to go to domain.com/file_name.
   pdf.

 * To the public_html folder. What would be the correct name for the correct folder?
   I suspected this was my problem, but I wasn’t sure which folder to aim for. Thanks
   your help.

 * Thanks for your response, but that’s not what I mean. Rather than try to describe
   what happened, maybe I should describe what I want to do. I simply want to load
   a .pdf document to my site and know what its URL will be so I can link to it 
   and visitors can view it. I know this sounds ridiculously simple, but when I 
   FTP’d the file to my server (into what I assumed was the home directory) and 
   then typed what I assumed to be the URL into my browser (e.g. domain.com/file_name.
   pdf) the file is not found.
 * I’m assuming it’s because the WP file/folder structure works differently?

 * I have resolved this by simply uninstalling and reinstalling WP. Duh.
