    Hi denis-lvov!

    I’m not familiar with .lo files. The default browser behaviour is probably to display it as text.

    If you want to make sure they are downloaded then you can zip them up in an archive and place a URL to the archive in the button instead.

    Best regards,

    Hi Elliott
    This template files for our software.
    The problem is that before enfold theme update these files started downloaded when you click on button
    Now comes the opening in the browser as a text document

    Archive files are bad advice … because this will complicate their usability for our customers

    Can I make another link format to make forced download.. or maybe I can specify a priority for such files somewhere in the themes or site settings

    Please take this issue seriously/

    Hi!

    Sorry for the late reply. Please turn on custom CSS field for ALB elements – kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/turn-on-custom-css-field-for-all-alb-elements/ and then give your download links a custom class and then add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor

    function add_custom_target(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery('.your-custom-class').attr('download','');​
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_target');

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Hi!

    Here is the browser support for the HTML5 download attribute, http://caniuse.com/#feat=download. Did you try it in those browsers?

    Other than that I think you will need to add it to an archive if you want the user to be able to download it automatically when clicking on the button. They can always “right click > save as” also.

    Regards,
    Elliott

    “Archive files are bad advice … because this will complicate their usability for our customers”

    Already solve this issue using code:
    AddType application/octet-stream .lo
    in my .htaccess file
