Creating a semi-sortable automatic downloads page using Query Loop Block.

Hi Support,

I’m attempting to create a page where links to download PDF documents would be displayed.
I want this to be more seamless than having to upload the file, create a shortcode using a Download Manager-type plug-in then manually creating having to add the button or link using the shortcode.

I wanted to implement the Query Loop capability of WordPress and GP/GB to call all the posts using their corresponding category/tags. This way, the Query Loop would automatically display any posts created with specific tags. At this point, everything seems to work great by using Adding Parameter>Taxonomies>Category/Tags.

This brings me to my first question, how would I create a Query Loop view which only displays the Post Title within button-like containers shown here: https://i.postimg.cc/SsbDp5hw/Screenshot-2023-07-20-at-7-08-28-PM.png (link #1) (Created manually for illustration purposes).

Now, I want the links to the posts to act like links to the actual document/file. This means that when the user clicks on the link to the post, they should go straight to the browser display of the document/PDF.

In the native WordPress view of post creation, there’s an option to attach a file to the post. I’m not sure that this would work but I can’t test because whenever I add/edit a post it goes straight to the GP theme editor.

This is the second question, is there a way to attach the file/PDF to the post so that when users click on the link to the post, they are directed straight to the file/PDF? If not, what’s a good work around?

Thanks all.
