How to add downloads to my website

laura_donnellan

I want to add some downloadable files for my visitors to download and edit - this might be in Excel format or PDF.

Thank you

Bryan

Hi,

edit will be not possible, but they can download it. Just upload the files like you would a normal image into your media librabry. Then add a link to the page.

thanks

I added a pdf file for download. But i am unable to open the file after downloading it, its showing error message that the file is damaged...What should i do

Bryan

We do not know why it is damaged. Maybe the file is damaged before uploading? Check it and upload it again.

Thank you for your reply.

I have checked the file and also tried to upload other files including pdf, word or even images but none of them are opening after downloading. here is the screenshot when i try to open a downloaded image file https://pasteboard.co/GzNfjRE.png
and a pdf file https://pasteboard.co/GzNgIENB.png.

I have also tried this on the latest betheme 20.2 and also on the previous versions like 17.8 but same issue. I dont know what to do. Please help.

You are making a misstake, the download attribute is for naming the downloaded file, the link attribute is for the file URL.
