Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-Force Images Download

Simply add the shortcode [wpfid] to any post or page. The plugin will automatically detect the post's featured image and force-download it. If you want a specific image, use [wpfid link="https://your-image-url.com/image.jpg"].

Navigate to WPFID > Settings in your WordPress admin sidebar. The settings page has three tabs: Button Design, Behaviour & Features, and Shortcode Help.

Go to WPFID > Stats Dashboard. Every download is tracked automatically. You'll see a table with post titles, download counts, last downloaded time, and direct links.

When "Require Email" is enabled, visitors see an email input field next to the download button. After entering a valid email and clicking the button, the email is saved to the database and the download starts automatically — all without any page reload. Collected emails are stored in wp_options under wpfid_collected_emails. The gate uses a cryptographically signed cookie token so it cannot be bypassed by simply setting a cookie manually.

Yes. The plugin uses WordPress's native wp_check_filetype() function instead of a hardcoded whitelist. This means it automatically supports every image format WordPress recognizes — including WebP, AVIF, HEIC, PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO, and any format added in future WordPress updates.

Yes, in two ways: (1) Set universal colors in WPFID > Settings > Button Design — this applies to all buttons site-wide. (2) Override per-post using shortcode attributes: [wpfid color="#ff0000" textcolor="#ffffff"]. Color values can be HEX, RGB, RGBA, or English color names like Tomato, MidnightBlue, DodgerBlue.

Yes. Use the new_name attribute in the shortcode: [wpfid new_name="%post_title%_%rand%"]. Or set a global rename pattern in WPFID > Settings > Behaviour & Features > Rename Pattern. Available variables: %site_name%, %post_title%, %post_id%, %filename%, %timestamp%, %rand%, %md5%.

Yes. AJAX download mode uses the Fetch API to retrieve the file as a binary blob and triggers the download via a programmatic anchor click. It works for all image formats and falls back gracefully to a normal form POST in older browsers.

No. The plugin is carefully optimized: CSS and JS only load on pages where the shortcode is used, all assets are versioned for cache efficiency, no render-blocking scripts, no external CDN calls, and the button output is pure semantic HTML5. File-size display results are cached in transients for 6 hours.

Yes. A native Gutenberg block (WPFID Download Button) is available directly in the block inserter under the Widgets category. Configure all button settings directly in the Inspector sidebar. You can also use the Shortcode block with [wpfid].
