Title: Force download Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Force download * [Kaylehope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaylehope/) * (@kaylehope) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-download-1/) * Hello, * I am using the pro version of the HTML 5 jquery audio player. I am using the “ buy text” as a download link. * [http://www.yogawithjacci.com/audio-downloads/](http://www.yogawithjacci.com/audio-downloads/) * The problem I’m having is that when someone clicks “download” it opens the file in a new window where they have to right click in order to save the file. * How can I do a force download such that when someone clicks “download” a save as box appears so it force downloads to their computer? * Thanks, * Kayle * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/html5-jquery-audio-player/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [RockingMouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockingmouse/) * (@rockingmouse) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-download-1/#post-3814091) * When is Pro Version 2.3 scheduled for release? Can you give us a date? * You cannot initiate a buy option in version 2.2 because it requires that you set the “Show Buy Text” to YES under Display Settings, which is not present, included and provided in version 2.2. * You cannot “easily” replace the BUY button with a DOWNLOAD button following the FAQ instructions, because browsers automatically open the URL of the mp3 file set in the buy link option in a separate window, or alternatively you can create a complex php file for every download. One or two files, okay; more than 100 files, no. * Net effect, if you are not a rocket scientist computer geek, you are screwed. You just purchased a product that cannot accomplish what it is proposed to be able to do. You can neither sell or download mp3 files in version 2.2, period. * Fortunately, all this stuff is coming in version 2.3. My question is, when will version 2.3 be released? * Plugin Author [Maeve Lander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enigmaweb/) * (@enigmaweb) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-download-1/#post-3814092) * [@rockingmouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockingmouse/) * Pro version works slightly differently to free version – there is no “show buy text” button, instead you have 3 buttons which you need to turn on/off as needed. So in Pro version, if you need to have a download option then just turn on a button, give it a name like “download” and then set the button link to your download file or script that initiates the download. * 2.2 for both free and pro versions will be released within a few days. This will have fixes for all open bugs and issues (It’s a complete code overhaul) * 2.3 is in the pipeline and is likely to be ready anywhere from 3-6 weeks from now. I’ll publicly post a firmer date as soon as I have one but I do plugin development in my spare time so it’s not always easy to predict a solid launch date until closer to the time. 2.3 will be a major upgrade and introduce a bunch of new features such as: + Internationalization + Make it so user can use track list for some playlists but just single track for others + Import/export playlist function – csv + On/off button for Artist field + On/off button for auto-repeat + On/off button for cover art + Responsive (mobile friendly) design + Button fields to accept shortcode _*this one is important because it will let users integrate better with all other types of eCommerce plugins to sell/distribute their music. _ * Hope this helps answer your question and address your concerns RockingMouse. * [RockingMouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockingmouse/) * (@rockingmouse) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-download-1/#post-3814094) * Very excited to read about the upcoming improvements. I believe in your work and plugin and plan to implement it 25+ times @ 50+ files each, or for some 1000 + files, and trust in your professional solutions. Most players do not even approach the sophistication of this plugin. Much respect. * For the record, “show buy text” instructions are provided within the FetchApp tutorial, a document intended for Pro users, I thought. Perhaps you can appreciate my confusion. Likewise, as you write again here, “…give it a name like ‘download’ and then set the button link to your download file or script that intiates the download.” One, setting the button link to a download MP3 file opens the browser player in a new window, as stated above. Two, a five line php script file is required per download file in order to force ‘intiate’ the download, something that I cannot do for 1000+ files. * Of course, I am not a programmer, so maybe I am missing something here. Perhaps, you could go beyond generalization and provide the precise script that you know works. Maybe I am not the only customer confused by this situation.
