How to Download a Recording from a WordPress Page

Have you ever come across a great audio recording on a WordPress page that you want to download? Sometimes, embedded recordings on a website can be tricky to access without the proper guidance. But worry not! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to download recordings from a WordPress page easily.

Step 1: Locate the Recording

Find the page on WordPress that contains the recorded audio you want to download. Once you have located the page, look for the play button on the embedded audio player and play it.

Step 2: Inspect the Page

To download the audio file, you will need to inspect the page. You can do this by right-clicking on the page and selecting "Inspect" or pressing F12 on your keyboard. This will bring up the developer tools of your browser.

Step 3: Navigate to "Network"

Once the developer tools are open, navigate to the "Network" tab. This tab shows all the files that are being loaded on the page.

Step 4: Play the Recording Again

Return to the WordPress page and play the recording again. You'll notice the "Network" tab in your developer tools start to reload.

Step 5: Locate the Recording File

Look for the audio file being loaded in the "Network" tab. The name of the file will typically end with an extension such as .mp3, .wav, or .ogg. In some cases, the file name may not be recognizable, but look for a file with a large size that corresponds to the length of the audio recording being played.

Step 6: Download the Recording

Finally, right-click on the audio file in the "Network" tab and select "Open in a new tab" or "Copy link address" to download the recording. If you choose to download the file in a new tab, you can simply right-click the audio player and select "Save audio as" to save the file to your computer.

And voila! You now have a copy of the audio recording from the WordPress page downloaded and saved to your device. Cheers to a hassle-free process!
