Force Download Images
5 replies · Started by Math on April 6, 2022
Hi,
I have uploaded images to .../wp-content/uploads/ folder. If I copy the link to an image and paste it into a blog article, anyone clicking on the link will take them to the image page.
Is there a way to force downloading the image as a file if anyone clicks on it?
Thank you.
Hi Math,
You can use the downloadattribute, for more info:

Hi Ying,
I did find that attribute and it works well for general links. I should have clarified my question before...is it possible to do that with the Buttons from GenerateBlocks?
It didn't work when I tried to edit as HTML.
Thank you.
GB Pro has custom attribute field feature, it will work.

If you don't have GB pro, you can try using a WP heading block, then style it into a button using CSS.
Oh wow...how did I not know about that! Thank you so much.
You are welcome :)
