Can't you see a null application in the htaccess file so it's won't try and find an application?

Like
AddType application/octet-stream .doc

Or

<FilesMatch "\.(?i

df)$"> ForceType application/octet-stream Header set Content-Disposition attachment </FilesMatch>

For PDFs for example.

Shouldn't the download attribute be inside the <a ... > tag?

You should also do it as either:

Code:

<a href="..." download>link text</a>

or if you want the file to be named:

Code:

<a href="..." download="nice_file_name.pdf">link text</a>

I would never stoop as low as to call you one of those!

Another Noddy Question For The Web Types

A charity I help out has a website:

somerandomenaffnamewith.bthosting.com

I have purchased chartiyname.org for them and I want to redirect the new site to the old one, but keep the new name?

I tried a .htaccess 301 redirect but that changed the url to the old one as well, is it possible to do what I need while we work out how to move the site to the new hosting?

Use the Wordpress plugin?
