Step 1: Copy the URL
Begin by uploading the file to your WordPress dashboard. Navigate to Media > Add New, and once the upload is complete, click on the file to copy its URL.
Step 2: Edit the Button Link
Now, paste your file URL into the button link field. However, if we were to end here, the file would still open in your browser. That’s why we need to proceed by adding a custom attribute to enforce the download.
Step 3: Add a Custom Attribute
