Are you looking to add a download button on an image in WordPress? Adding a download button can help in providing easy access to images for visitors to download and use. In this article, we will show you how to easily add a download button on an image in WordPress.

Step 1: Install and Activate a Plugin

The first step is to install and activate a plugin called 'Download Monitor'. This plugin has a feature that allows you to add a download button to images on your website.

To install the plugin, log in to your WordPress dashboard, go to 'Plugins', click on 'Add New' and search for 'Download Monitor'. Once you find the plugin, click on 'Install Now' and then 'Activate'.

Step 2: Upload Your Image to Download Monitor

The next step is to upload your image to Download Monitor. To upload your image, go to 'Downloads' and then 'Add New'. Here, you can upload your image by selecting it from your computer or dragging and dropping it onto the page.

After uploading the image, you can add information such as the title, description, and tags.

Step 3: Add the Download Button to Your Image

Now that your image is uploaded to Download Monitor, you can add the download button to the image. To do this, go back to the 'Downloads' page and click on 'All Downloads'. Here, find your image and hover over it to see the 'Edit' button. Click on 'Edit'.

On the edit page, you will see an option called 'Button Text'. Here, you can add the text that will appear on the download button. For example, you can add 'Download' or 'Download Image'.

Next, scroll down to the 'File' section and add the URL of the image file. You can also add a preview image of your download if you want.

Finally, click on 'Save Download' to save your changes.

Step 4: Add the Download Button to Your Image in WordPress

Now that your image has a download button, you need to add the image to your WordPress website. To do this, go to the 'Media' section and click on 'Library'. Here, find your image and click on it to expand it.

On the image details page, you will see a shortcode under 'Download Monitor Shortcodes'. Copy the shortcode and paste it into your WordPress post or page wherever you want the image to appear.
