Hi,

How do I change the "Download" buttons image globally. I was able to set a custom image for the "add to cart" in the Settings menu, but there is not an option for "download". I looked for the image in the images folder, but couldn't find it. I also tried setting a button image in the individual product, but then that overwrites the "add to cart" button.

I already have multiple products created, and would prefer to just change an image if possible. As an alternative, I would also be ok with editing the CSS to change size and color, i just can't seem to locate that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Look for the following file in the "images" directory:
```
download_icon.png
```

Thanks wzp. I checked that image, and it is not the "Download" button that I am looking for. I am looking for the one associated with the following shortcode

[wp_eStore_download_now_button id=151]

It's grey, square, looks like it has a class of "download_now_button" or "download_now_button_submit", but I do not see a URL when I inspect the element.

I think that the button you pointed me towards was for the Free Download option.

THAT one is an honest to goodness HTML button, created by the eStore_show_download_now_button() function, in the eStore_misc_functions.php file.

Great, thanks. I have had time to take a look, but I am not really good at PHP. What line or section should I look at to style the button? None of it really looks like HTML to me. Or is there something that I could put in to get it to call an image for this?

I know you want to do this "globally," but let me first describe how you can do this on a per-product basis...

Add/Edit Products --> Additional Product Details --> Button Image URL --> (Insert URL of button image you want).

Now, if you are insistent upon wanting, for all time, to make a permanent change to the way the button looks...

Edit the eStore_misc_functions.php file and look for...
function eStore_show_download_now_button($id,$line_break=true,$nggImage='')

Next, scroll down until you find this line...
$button = $ret_product->button_image_url;

Change it to...
$button = 'http://mysite.com/buttons/whateveriwant.gif';

Thank You.

I also appreciate the other options, I always hesitate before changing PHP because it can be an issue when there are updates. I had tried the per product option, but I have the products placed in multiple places, and that overrides my Add to Cart button.

Thanks again.
