    I’m not sure I fully understand your question, but:

    https://beta.chmse.com/downloads/testing-new-file-where-does-download-show/ – The problem is that you can’t find the download link here, right?

    This is because it is driven by your theme. This cannot be done with a plugin. Unfortunately, the plugin cannot modify this (because it is a theme territory).

    So this /downloads/{slug} is /theme/your-theme/single-lana_download.php or /theme/your-theme/single.php template file. The content and buttons are displayed by the theme.

    The solution:

    When editing Download, put the download permalink or shortcode in the content.

    If my answer is not completely clear, please let me know and I will try to explain it differently.

    I think that makes sense. Seems odd that I created a download record, set the file that is to be downloaded, but then page doesn’t show the file.

    Thank you for your response to the ticket. I will go back and put in the shortcodes.

    I can give you some PHP code that you can put in the functions.php file in the theme and it will automatically add download button to the content. But it also needs to be put into the theme.

    This is useful if you have a lot of download files. If only a few, then it is better to be manually edited.

    Feel free to let me know if I can help.
