</ul>
<h3>Embedding Shortcodes for the Downloads</h3>
<p>Create a new post/page and use the following shortcode to create a download button for your digital media file:</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip"]
</code></pre>
<p>here, url is a shortcode parameter that you need to replace with the actual URL to your digital file</p>
<p>You can also specify additional optional parameters in the shortcode to customize the free download button.</p>
<p><strong>Button Text</strong></p>
<p>By default the text for the download button is “Download Now”. But you can choose to modify the text using the “text” parameter.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" text="Free Download"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Button Width</strong></p>
<p>By default the width for the download button is “153”. But you can choose to modify it using the “width” parameter.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" text="Free Download" width="100"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Button Height</strong></p>
<p>By default the height for the download button is “41”. But you can choose to modify it using the “height” parameter.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" text="Free Download" width="100" height="50"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Download in a new window</strong></p>
<p>By default the download starts in the same window. But you can choose to modify it using the “target” parameter.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" target="_blank"]  (opens the download in a new window)<h3>Force File Download</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>Usually when a digital file is recognised by the browser it does not prompt for download. The file just opens in the browser instead. You can choose to modify this behaviour using the <code>force_dl</code> parameter in the shortcode.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.mp3" force_dl="1"]<h3>Download Button Templates</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>Easy Media Download comes with 21 different download button templates. All you need to do is specify the style and the button will look just like it. For example:</p>

</ul>
<p>If you want to fully customize the download button you can use your own button image instead.</p>
<h3>Link Rel</h3>
<p>You can use the HTML link <code>rel</code> attribute in the shortcode to define the relationship between your page and the linked download.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" rel="nofollow"]<h3>Custom CSS Class</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>In addition to various button templates, If you want to apply custom styling to a button you can do so by using the <code>class</code> parameter.</p>
<pre><code>[easy_media_download url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip" class="myclass"]
</code></pre>
<p>You can specify multiple CSS classes in the shortcode.</p>
<p>[easy_media_download url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/myfile.zip” class=”myclass1 myclass2 myclass3″]</p>
