    <p>I have a template file which shows the posts of a category called downloads. for each posts i have attached a pdf file. I have given a link to download the pdf file on the page. But when i click the download link it goes to the post page and from there i have to click to download the file. Is there any way to directly download without going to the post. ? I have tried using wp_get_attachment_url as the hyper-reference.but it is not working.The code that i have used is below: </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Template Name: Downloads Template */ ?&gt; &lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt; &lt;?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=7&amp;orderby=title&amp;order=ASC"); while($recent-&gt;have_posts()):$recent-&gt;the_post(); $desc_values = get_post_custom_values("description"); ?&gt; &lt;div id="download_featured_image" class="&lt;?php the_ID(); ?&gt; download_image_title_desc"&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink() ?&gt;" rel="title"&gt; &lt;?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href = "" &gt; &lt;?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { echo "Download"; }?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=" http://localhost/wordpress/login.php"&gt; &lt;?php if( !(is_user_logged_in()) ) { echo "Please signup/login to download this file"; } ?&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;div id="Download_post_description"&gt; &lt;?php if( is_array( $desc_values ) ) { foreach($desc_values as $key =&gt; $value ); echo "$value&lt;/n&gt;"; } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php endwhile ?&gt; &lt;?php get_footer(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want to give the link to the uploaded pdf in the href which i have left blank. Can someone help me?</p>

    1. COWhere are you using the `wp_get_attachment_url()` function? You say you have *attached* the pdf file to the post, does that mean it's part of the content of the post or is it in a meta field?

    3. COI assume you've uploaded the PDF to the media library. You should set the attachment ID (or perhaps even the direct link itself) of the PDF as a custom field instead of in the content to make it feasable to extract it. Please see my answer below

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
