    I am setting up a website for audio files, i have uploaded an audio file and inserted in a post in given link the audio file inserted in this post is streamable but i also want to give a download button for the users so they can download the audio file. I inserted the button and then linked it with the audio file but when user hit the download the button the audio file starts to open instead of downloading. Is there something forcing the file not to download? i have seen the other website which is doing the same but there audio file is downloadable and mine is not here.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • You can work this out by using .htaccess rules or by simple adding a “download” attribute in the link anchor.

    So instead of :
    <a href="https://darsequranmardan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/4 Al-Rad Ayat-1 Part-2.mp3">Download</a>

    Your html link would be:
    <a href="https://darsequranmardan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/4 Al-Rad Ayat-1 Part-2.mp3" download>Download</a>
