    Hi

    I have created a CF of the type "File Upload" for a CPT "Event". Then, I've created a template (via Kadence Theme Pro "Elements" feature) and added the field with the Image-Block (by GenerateBlocks) on a CPT-template. Now I'd like to apply a download-function to the image-block, but cannot find out how.

    Can you please help me with this?

    Thank you in advance and kind regards,
    Sascha

    Hello Sascha,

    Meta Box is not compatible with Kadence Block yet. So I think it's not possible to add the file field URL to the image block of Kadence in this case. But you can create a custom shortcode to output the image with file URL download, please follow the documentation

    I'm not using the Kadence-Block, but GenerateBlocks. All other MB-fields are being displayed properly, only need to make the file-upload downloadable. How? The doc is a bit too technical for me to recreate on this site.

    Thank you in advance and kind regards,
    Sascha

    Hello,

    Following the documentation, our plugins support outputting the field value with code. If you want to make a download button with a page builder plugin, please contact their support to ask for help with this case.
    Or you can use a page builder plugin that has integration with Meta Box like Oxygen, Elementor ... please read more here https://docs.metabox.io/compatibility/

    Or you can create your own shortcode and put the shortcode into the builder to display a download button.

    Hey there,

    I don't use any pagebuilders. Kadence Blocks is a Gutenberg Block Library. can you help me?

    Thank you in advance and kind regards,
    Sascha
