 * I’m using “pretty permalinks”; my .htaccess rewrite is enabled; I have no spaces
   in my link; I copied the “force download” plugin from “inc” folder to the WP-
   Content folder; I “manually” put in “[download]…[/download]” I even put in the
   php version as you instructed… STILL nothing happens!
 * Please help!
 * Here’s my site link:
 * [http://www.ddogsburgersbeers.com](http://www.ddogsburgersbeers.com) — (Application
   section towards the middle of the homepage)
 * Please note that I’m already using shortcodes on this themed site already!

 * Hi dzinorgal,
 * I can’t seem to locate the force-download.php file in your wp-content folder.
   For instance, this link:
 * > `http://ddogsburgersbeers.com/wp-content/force-downloads.php?file=uploads/2013/
   > 05/mural4-1020x360.jpg`
 * should at least give an error if the server configuration doesn’t allow forcing
   downloads. Is the plugin still installed and activated?
 * Also, can you share what shortcode you were using?
