I did some more testing and the issue can indeed be reproduced when the image and the file that should be downloaded reside in different places.</p> <p>Why this would make any difference is a mysterie to me but it does. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/using-an-image-to-link-to-a-download#post-8147 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 12:23:55 +0000 Martin 8147@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Well I was setting it up for you on a test installation but now it seems to work somehow.</p> <p>Maybe it had something to do with the difference between the location of the image and the rar file?</p> <p>Anyway it seems to have been solved:-).</p> <p>I would appreciate it if you could rake a look at the issue I described here<br /> <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/no-images-inside-a-post" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/no-images-inside-a-post</a></p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Martin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/using-an-image-to-link-to-a-download#post-8122 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 05:50:01 +0000 Noah Hendrix 8122@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi! </p> <p> Do you have a link to your site? I could maybe do a bit more searching that way. </p> <p> Regards,<br /> Noah </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/using-an-image-to-link-to-a-download#post-8094 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:11:29 +0000 Martin 8094@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm trying to use an image to link to a rar file so the visitors of my blog can get their hands on some nice freebies:-).</p> <p>I am using a simple piece of code:</p> <p>a href="http://www.myblog.com/blog/images/2010/4/freebie.rar"<br /> img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-583" title="download" src="http://www.myblog.com/blog/images/2010/11/download.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="53" /<br /> /a</p> <p>However, when clicking on the image, it sends me to the 404 page.</p> <p>I am using the Add Lightbox &amp; Title plugin <a href="http://www.linhost.org/projects/wordpress-plugins/add-lightbox-title/" rel="nofollow">http://www.linhost.org/projects/wordpress-plugins/add-lightbox-title/</a> and I assume this might be the source of my problems:-). Is there a way to have the image link to the file and download it instead of giving me a 404?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
