You can put the ‘.exe’ file somewhere outside of WordPress on your hosting space, such as in the root directory. Then you can create a link and point to that file. For example:


 The link text

you need to create the custom code for count the no of downloads.
Using ajax we can update the DB when click on download button and can show in Wp Admin.

Thanks for responding Andrew Nevins and giri2014. Yes, this is what I want. But something strange has happened. My download page is now displaying a “Hello World” message instead of the download page. The download page displays in the dashboard. What gives?

I recreated the page and tried your suggestion, but it does not work. All it does is show the code itself. This is the code:

The link text

Hi @projecttoday, the code should refer to a file on your server, as opposed to your personal computer.

Try this:


 The link text


The forward slash at the start means the root directory of your website. That’s where you should put your .exe file. This is the folder where the ‘wp-content’ and ‘wp-admin’ folders are.

						Okay.  So by “your server” you mean the website host, which in my case is HostGator?  How do I go about putting that file on HostGator?

						That’s right. HostGator should provide you with a tool named something like “File Manager” in the control panel (different to the WordPress dashboard). This gives you control of the files and folders of the website.

						I uploaded the file to the site, though I’m not sure if I got it in the right folder.  But when I view the page, there is no link, just the code itself:
 The link text 
What is wrong?
