To create your newsletter archive, you will first need to save your newsletters in PDF format. Depending on the current format of your newsletter, you can usually find a free online tool to help with this. Once you have your newsletters in PDF format, upload them to your site’s media library.

If you are using a newsletter platform, like Mailchimp or Constant Contact, they may already provide links to your previously published newsletters. In which case, all you need to do is organize these links on a page to create a newsletter archive on a WordPress website.

Either way, once you have your newsletters formatted and ready to share, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Create a new WordPress page

• From the dashboard of your site, create a new page called ‘Newsletter Archive’.
• Save your page.
• Go to Appearance >> Menu to add the page to your site’s navigation.

Step 2: Add a tab block to your page

• Go to Plugins >> Add New to install & activate a tab block on your site. We’re using Kadence Blocks for Gutenberg.
• Open your ‘Newsletter Archive’ page.
• Add the Tabs block to your page and select a layout.
• Give each tab a title.

Step 3: Add PDF files to your page

• Upload your PDF newsletter files for the current year by inserting file blocks into your first tab.
  • Note, you can change the name of your PDF once it has been uploaded.
  • Members can click on the ‘download’ button for quick access to your newsletter.
  • If you choose not to display the ‘download button’, members can click on a newsletter title to open.
