WP Attachments turns the files you upload to a post into a clean, automatic download list. Attach a file while editing, and it shows up under your content — no manual links, no shortcodes to remember.
It also fills the gaps in the WordPress Media Library, letting you attach, unattach and reattach files without leaving the screen you are on.
Key features
