This is a simple plugin that allows you to force the download of images or pictures such as jpeg, png, etc. 
This plugin is very useful to those who want to download post attachments or featured images. Just put the template tag in single.php and this plugin automatically generates the download link for every post.
Note: The post must have a featured image because this plugin generates a download link of the attached featured image of every post, if the post(s) have not featured image the download button would not appear.
