3. Click on the button to change the title, click on the download icon next to the button to upload a file for download.
4. Enter a suitable title in the text box, the default title is download. Wola! 👊

Open the post or page you want to add download button to, paste the shortcode example below

[quick_download_button title="Download" url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]

The url value needs to be replaced with your media link URL. To change the title, enter a different text in the title value. The default value is Download.

To use external url, add url_external attribute

[quick_download_button title="Download" url_external="https://google.com"]

To let the plugin generate file size, make sure the file is in the WordPress upload directory e.g wp-content/upload and change filesize value to 1 like below

[quick_download_button filesize="1" title="Download" url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]

The plugin can calculate the file size for you by enter 1 in filesize value. You don't have to enter it manually but in case, enter the file size value in the filesize attribute like below.

[quick_download_button file_size="14.5MB" title="Download" url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]

To hide file extension icon, set extension value to 0. Note, this will also hide extension text.

[quick_download_button  title="Download" file_size="1" extension="0" url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]

To show both file extension icon and text, set extension value to 1 and extension_text to 1

[quick_download_button  title="Download" file_size="1" extension="1" extension_text="1"  url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]

echo do_shortcode('[quick_download_button title="Download" url="http://yoursite/wp-content/upload/fileto_download.pdf"]');
