Direct download link on WordPress.com?
-
Is it possible to have direct download links on WordPress.com? I know how to add images, for example a PDF, with a link. But when the visitor clicks the links I have created, they view it directly in the browser. Then they have to download it from there. I was wondering if it’s possible to create a link that just starts downloading a file instantly to the visitor’s computer when they click it? Without going through the extra step of viewing it first.
