Hi all,
Please, how could I hide the first Download button, which is shown at the top of the page? So I can prevent users downloading the game before reading anything in description. I just want to keep the second download button, which is at bootom.
I already achieved it for an old project and I have checks all its settings, but I can't find the option or how I did it.
Thank you very much.
It's just a guess, I tried looking at some pages to check if it's true but I can't be sure, was your old project for multiple platforms and your current one only for one platform? I think maybe if you have multiple downloads it doesn't show since it doesn't know which one to offer - but as I said, just a guess.
edit: doesn't have to be multiple platforms, just multiple downloads

this has two download buttons and multiple files.
Hi Sparkle. In this case, it's just one download and it has 2 download buttons. For example:
Project with just one download button: https://bradcodetips.itch.io/gpubenchmarka
My project with two download buttons (I can't hide/remove the first one): https://gametechbench.itch.io/gametech-benchmark
Why do you assume anyone would download it, without reading the description?
The button changes depending on screen size and if it is paid/web and other factors.
Even if you have custom css privileges, you are not allowed to change the user interface. You would have to have promised not to do so, when being granted those privileges. I cannot understand why Itch even has this feature. It is a bad user experience and very concerning when developers get smart with their page and remove elements. Seen it several times.
Hi Redoni. If the possibility exists (users going directly to the download button without reading), I just want to avoid it.
But I think your requisites don't match. For example:
Project with just one download button: https://bradcodetips.itch.io/gpubenchmarka
My project with two download buttons (I can't hide/remove the first one): https://gametechbench.itch.io/gametech-benchmark
I do not understand what you mean with requisits. And your concerns about downloading without reading description. You can have a download message that appears where you actually hit download for a payable game. The "Download and install instructions".
Change screen width in your example. There are two buttons.
It is as I said
The button changes depending on screen size and if it is paid/web and other factors.
I do not fully understand the matrix of possibilities and what factors are there.
But the biggest factor is screen width. This one is nice example. https://vividev.itch.io/kiosk Put your browser window in windowed mode and hold and change the width of the window to see what the css does with the ui elements. Go to smallest and widest. Change zoom if needed. It has no upper button at the widest. It is visible before the screenshots appear vertical in the flow. And when the tools appear as a banner it still is visible.
Your example is also non payable. The upper download button appears when switching to mobile view. There is no pay what you want button, because you can only download it. I dimly remember a thread about web games and it might be that the lower button is always there and the upper button only if you have payments active or are in mobile view. Or whatever. It might have also to do with banners and backgrounds, but it just is the css that might hide the upper button.
So whatever you optimise here, you still do not know how it looks on a user's screen. You might also want to look how it looks in the Itch app.
Anyways, I would never ever download anything unknown without glancing at the description. And if I were the type of person that would do such, I would also be the type of person that might scroll down very fast and not read your description either.
