How to add downloads to your page with Elementor

Adding downloads to your page is super easy!

You can either add them via Gutenberg block or with the help of a page builder such as Elementor.

In order to add your downloads to your page using Elementor, you need to follow these steps:

1. I assume that you already have a download created with Download Monitor, so go to your WordPress Dashboard > Downloads > All Downloads.
   
   
2. Click on the download file you want to display on your page and copy the shortcode.
   
   
   
3. Head to your Dashboard > Pages > Add New > Edit with Elementor.
   
   

Below, we’ll list three ways you can add a download to your page with Elementor.

2. Once you’re done, click Publish.

Add the download through the Shortcode widget

Alternatively, you can add download files to your page with the Shortcode widget.
