• Images (. jpg, . jpeg, . png, . gif, and . ico)

• Audio files (. mp3, . m4a, . ogg, and . wav).
• Videos (. mp4, . m4v, . mov, . wmv, . avi, . mpg, . ogv, . ... (but see below)

• PDFs

• Word documents

• Excel spreadsheets
• PowerPoint presentations

• Adobe Photoshop documents

If the file you are adding is a document called minutes/230511-version-1-
approved then it will upload in that name unless you change it as you upload the
file. If you just use the file as-is then that cumbersome file title will be displayed
on the screen as the link to click to get that file. If, when you upload the file, you
then change that file’s Title attribute in the Media Library to, say ‘Minutes May
2023’ then that will be displayed instead. Much better.

Subject to fair usage, there is currently no limit on the amount of file storage
available to a u3a using WordPress/SiteWorks. However, because of the large
storage requirements u3a website managers are asked not to use the server for
hosting video files and instead to use one of the video hosting platforms such as
YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Google Drive, Instagram, Facebook, or other alternatives.
Update 1/9/23 Code has been added to the u3a SiteWorks software to prevent
any videos from being uploaded.

Self-check: Uploading files
Using the above description upload a PDF file of your choice from your own
collection. You will use this file in a later exercise.
Grid and List views
The screenshots above all show you a grid view of the media but you can also
have a list view that enables you to edit, delete, view, copy the URL, or download
the file. You can switch between views using the icons top left below the page
title. If you have a large number of items in the library then this is where you can
filter them by type but also sort them by, say, the group the media was uploaded
to. Below is list view of our training demo file gallery.
