Button PDF (WordPress Plugin)

Create customizable PDF buttons with personalized links via a custom post type. Easily insert the generated buttons into your posts or pages using a simple shortcode.

Table of Contents

Description

Button PDF is a WordPress plugin that registers a Custom Post Type (CPT) for generating PDF buttons. Each button stores a URL to a PDF file and can be inserted into any post or page using a shortcode. The plugin provides a simple interface in the WordPress admin to manage your PDF button links, titles, and more.

Features

  • Registers a Custom Post Type named "Botón PDF" (PDF Button).
  • Adds a Metabox for the PDF URL plus a Media Library picker (PDF mime type).
  • Gutenberg block “Botón PDF” (mi-boton-pdf/boton) with live preview and the same options as the shortcode.
  • Shortcode to embed the button in the classic editor or anywhere shortcodes run.
  • List table columns: URL del PDF (clickable) and Shortcode (readonly field for quick copy).
  • Default SVG icon, responsive size option, optional download hint, and target for new/same tab.
  • Translation template: languages/mi-boton-pdf.pot.
  • Uninstall: uninstall.php removes all mbpdf_button posts when the plugin is deleted from the Plugins screen.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.8 or higher (block editor + server-side preview; shortcode still works on older sites if you only use the shortcode—5.8+ recommended).
  • PHP 7.4 or higher

Installation

  1. Download or Clone this repository.
  2. Upload the entire mi-boton-pdf folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. In the WordPress admin area, go to Plugins and find Button PDF.
  4. Click Activate.

Alternatively, you can zip the folder and install it through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in your WordPress admin area.

Usage

  1. In your WordPress admin menu, look for Botones PDF (or "PDF Buttons").
  2. Click Add New to create a new PDF button.
  3. Enter a Title (this title will be displayed as the button text on the site).
  4. In the metabox URL del PDF, paste the file URL or click Biblioteca de medios… to pick a PDF.
  5. Publish your new button.

Block editor (Gutenberg)

Add the Botón PDF block (Widgets category), then choose your button in the sidebar. You can override text, open in a new tab, control the download attribute, and icon size.

Shortcode

Use in any post, page, or widget that processes shortcodes:

[mbpdf_boton id="123"]

Optional attributes

Attribute Default Description
id — Required. ID of the PDF button (CPT).
text (title) Label shown under the icon.
class — Extra CSS classes on the wrapper.
target _blank _blank (new tab) or _self (same tab).
download auto auto (adds download for same-site URLs), yes, or no.
size 48 Icon size in pixels (16–128).

Example:

[mbpdf_boton id="123" target="_self" download="yes" size="40" text="Descargar folleto"]

Uninstall

Deleting the plugin from Plugins → Installed Plugins runs uninstall.php, which permanently deletes all Botones PDF entries. Back up first if you need to keep them.

FAQ

PDFs uploaded as a generic file type do not appear in the media modal.
You can still paste the file URL manually in the metabox.
