For some time, many people are focusing on the creation of Blogs and Web pages to market their products or services on the net.
And one of those fabulous tools that they use for this purpose is WordPress, which since its creation has become the most used by users. And for you to learn a little more about it, we bring you the following tutorial that will teach you how to create a link or direct download link from WordPress.
We have already instructed you, in other articles about what WordPress is, how it is used and how you can add advertising to the posts. But now we will show you and explain how easy it is to create a direct download link from WordPress.
How to create a direct download link from WordPress
This instruction will help you a lot when creating your articles and mounting them on your page that you have created using WordPress. But you must remember that it is not the same to create a link to an image. So, to start we go directly to WordPress and we are going to add an entry, for this we go to the menu at the top.
We are going to make a clip on the Add tab and then on Input. When we have it, we mount it on the blank page and we will write the text where we are going to make a clip so that it will take us to the direct download link.
We can write as text, for example, Download link, Make clip to download, Download Link, etc. whatever you prefer or the idea that a link is. After you have written the download word you must select it and then make a clip on the link icon. It will appear below the word that you put a URL and you must put a pound sign and then press Enter.
Using the Download attribute to create direct downloads in WordPress
And in this way you have created the link but at the moment it is not working because it will not take you anywhere. Now we must place the URL of the file which must be in WordPress, for this we will upload the file to the media library. And through it we will have access to the file that we want to download directly.
Then you go to the media library and select the File, doing this will take you to the Attachment Details window. And on the right side you are going to copy the URL, the next thing you should do is leave this window and return to where you had your link. Here we are in Visual and we must select HTML.
By doing this we will find our link and we will stop with the cursor over the pad and paste the URL that we previously copied.
Now if we enter the Link we can see it but it does not download it to us. For this we will use a resource called Download, then we will go to our Link and add after the quotation marks of the Download Link.
In this way we will have added this attribute to the link and we will be able to download it to our computer by making a clip on it. And in this way we have shown you how easy it is to create a direct download link from WordPress.
