If you wanted to use this in a php template, you could call something like:
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[download label="My Label"]http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/my_song.mp3[/download]' ); ?>Important notes:
- If your server permissions allow it, the plugin will automatically attempt to copy force-download.php to your
/wp-content/directory. - If your server permissions DO NOT allow it, you will need to manually upload the file located in
/download-shortcode/wp-content/force-download.phpto your/wp-content/directory. - By default, forced-download links only support files located in your uploads directory. More about this in Other Notes.
