Hi! I am working on building a site and want to add a link so that someone could download my outlook vcard. How would I do this?
Hi Taylor Q
Thanks for reaching out. Perhaps check the plugin directory to see if there is a plugin available that can help:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/
The manual method is outlined here: http://www.redbridgenet.com/how-to-upload-vcf-to-wordpress-for-download-via-media-uploader/
Using that method you’d need:
1. A child theme, here is the Vantage starter child theme for download:
https://github.com/siteorigin/vantage-child
2. You’d need to add the following to the functions.php file in the child theme:
Finally you’d need to add the following to your .htaccess file, a file found in your web server root:
That needs to be added above the other WordPress info there.
So all in all not a straightforward process. The above would let you upload a vCard to the media manager and make it download on click when added to a post or page.
