When adding new file to download manager:
- Goto Downloads>Add New file
- Add Title (Use standardised naming eg, RESEARCH name of research; LEAFLET name of leaflet; REPORT name of report; etc)
- On the right hand side of page goto Attach File (select from media library OR add new document)
- Scroll right down to the bottom of page and find Package Settings
- Set Link Label name. Note: whatever you enter in this field will show on the button e.g. Click here to download Palliative Caring Booklet
- Click Publish
Now you are ready to place this managed download into the website:
If you want to add this download to a webpage as a clickable button: use Shortcode. Find the individual shortcode of every file in Downloads>All Files. The shortcode will be [inside square brackets] and look like this: wpdm_package id='XXXXX'. Note: each download file has an individual shortcode number i.e. the XXXXX bit will be numbers specific to that file only.
If you want to link text or an image on a webpage to this download: use the Permalink which can be found underneath the title in any download file
DO NOT link directly to any file in the media library unless you do not want to track the number of times it is downloaded.
