To add a download button inside a rich text element in Webflow for your blog post, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a button:
  • Drag and drop a button element onto your canvas or select an existing button element.
  • Customize the button's appearance by adjusting its style, such as color, size, and typography.
  1. Link the button to the download file:
  • Select the button and go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side.
  • Under the Link settings, click on the "New Link" button.
  • In the Link URL field, enter the URL of the file you want to download.
  • Optionally, you can also use Webflow's file uploader by clicking on the cloud icon next to the field and uploading your file.
  • Customize the "Open in a new tab" setting if you want the file to open in a new browser tab when the button is clicked.
  1. Insert the button inside the rich text:
  • Select and open the rich text element by double-clicking or selecting it and going to the Settings panel.
  • Position your cursor where you want the button to appear within the text.
  • Click on the "Insert symbol" button (it looks like a plus "+" symbol) in the rich text toolbar.
  • From the Symbols Library, select the previously created button and click "Add".
  • You can also use the "Wrapper" option to wrap the button with additional elements or styling if needed.
  1. Style the button placement:
  • Once the button is added inside the rich text element, you can use the rich text toolbar to format the text around it, such as adjusting alignment, font size, or applying other styles to make the button placement look seamless.
  • You can also adjust the button's spacing and position by selecting the button and adjusting its margins or padding in the Settings panel.

By following these steps, you can easily add a download button inside a rich text element in Webflow for your blog post.
