How to Add Download Button in Blogger & WordPress
In this article, I will show you how to add a download button to Blogger and Wordpress websites. In Blogger you have to use HTML & CSS for a download button and in Wordpress you can either use the code method or using the native button block.
So, the Download button will help visitors easily identify what the button is for and it will give a modern look to your website.
Here, let’s understand How you can Add the Download button in Blogger.
So, for this, you need to copy a code like this and paste it into the Edit HTML section of the blog post editor.

<span class="title2">Buy Now</span>
<span class="title-hover2">Click here</span>
</a>Now you need to paste the CSS code either in the theme CSS section or directly in the post editor.
<style>
.btn-slide2 span.circle2,.btn-slide2:hover{background-color:#efa666}.btn-slide2{position:relative;display:inline-block;height:50px;width:200px;line-height:50px;padding:0;border-radius:50px;background:#fdfdfd;margin:10px;transition:.5s;border:2px solid #efa666;fill:black}.btn-slide2 svg{fill:white; width:22px; height:22px; margin-left:8px;}.btn-slide2:hover span.circle2{left:100%;margin-left:-45px;background-color:rgb(0 0 0 / 20%);color:#efa666}.btn-slide2:hover span.title2{left:40px;opacity:0}.btn-slide2:hover span.title-hover2{opacity:1;left:40px}.btn-slide2 span.circle2{display:block;color:#fff;position:absolute;float:left;margin:4px;line-height:48px;height:40px;width:40px;top:0;left:0;transition:.5s;border-radius:50%}.btn-slide2 span.title-hover2,.btn-slide2 span.title2{position:absolute;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;transition:.5s;color:#efa666;left:80px}.btn-slide2 span.title-hover2{left:80px;opacity:0;color:#fff}
</style>Note: If you are pasting the CSS code in the theme section then you don’t have to paste the code again and again in all blog posts. And make sure to remove the style tag if you are pasting it in the CSS section of your theme.
If you want to add the download button in Wordpress then you can copy the same code and paste it into the custom HTML block.
If you want to Add Two buttons simultaneously like Preview and Download buttons then you can use the below code.

</style> You can change the SVG icons in the above codes. Here, I have shared some of the frequently used SVG icons that you can find on the SVG Resources Page.
If you are a Wordpress user then you can also use page builders like Elementor, Kadence Blocks, etc to add a download button easily with a single click.
I hope this article helps you add a download button on both Blogger and Wordpress websites. If you have any doubts regarding this you can ask me in the comment section.

for this, you need to add target=”_blank” in the anchor tag. I have updated the code in this blog post.
