Note: If you insert a document link to a video or audio file in your WordPress page or post, that link will be replaced with DOCman's built-in media player when layout is set to List on the attachments block settings.

FAQs

How do I open my links into a new browser tab?

You can open download links in a new tab by setting the Open download links in a new tab setting in the block settings to enabled.

How do I force all my documents to download and not to be displayed inside the browser?

By default DOCman will let the browser decided how to handle the file, if the browser is capable of displaying the file it will do so. For example most modern browsers today can display PDF files.

If you want to download files directly you can set the Force download all files setting in the block settings to enabled.
