First of all, you need to make sure that your server is up-to-date. If your server is not updated then there are chances that it may be a reason for the downloading files instead of opening in browser error.



wordpress download file instead of opening in browser

In most cases (like the one that happened with my friend), even after getting the downloading file instead of opening in browser issue, his WP-Admin panel works fine and he can easily access the panel by typing -admin on the browser.


All of us have probably come across this problem at one point or another when we tried to open a webpage in a new browser, and over time things did not turn out according to our plans, and we ended up downloading the file instead of opening it.


This means that instead of opening your website in the browser, you now find that you have a completely blank page and a file has been downloaded to your system. This could be due to any of these reasons:


In WordPress, you will find a default code for the .htaccess file that will make it easier for you to customize the website. However, it is possible that these default codes may have some error in them that has caused WordPress to download the file instead of opening it in the browser.






Just like a web browser, Google and other web crawlers request the HTML contents for pages on a web site. But instead of rendering it like a web browser would, it analyzes the HTML to semantically understand what the web page is about.


In most cases (like the one that happened with my friend), the WordPress admin panel is usually accessible even after WordPress download files instead of opening in browser issue, so you can easily head on to your WordPress admin panel ( -admin) and uninstall the plugin.


This is the default WordPress file that comes at the time of WordPress installation. If there is anything wrong with your current .htaccess file and due to this, you will be getting the error of WordPress download file instead of opening in browser, and it will solve it.


Again, the issue appears when a user visits the website and opens a PDF document in their web browser. The browser tab then shows the WordPress favicon instead the one i have saved in our Enfold configuration.


The problem, however with the more descriptive content types is that Firefox and IE prompt you to download the XML file instead of displaying it in the browser like it would a text/XML document. More details read this
