<p>On our site we use Easy Digital Downloads.  Once an EDD download (e-commerce product) definition has been created it is usually supported by<br />
other posts that provide additional information – help or tutorial information for example. Ideally, these posts will have a similar style,<br />
use similar words and need to reference the same core information about the download such a the current version number, the slug, the excerpt, etc..</p>
<p>One way is to cut-and-past information from a download in to each post. But this means that when download details change, its essential to<br />
remember to update any related posts. This plugin provides another way: a set of plugins that allow you to reference details from a download<br />
and in this way remove the need to update related posts.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p><strong>Select the linked post using a meta-box dropdown from with in the post definition</strong><br />
<strong>Over 40 shortcode to access post information</strong><br />
<strong>Short-codes to access post field values and to access post meta values</strong><br />
<strong>Access any post meta value by meta key</strong></p>


Download-Post/Page Link

Link posts or pages to an EDD download then use shortcodes in the post to access any field or meta data such as the excerpt, thumbnail and title.

<p>Do you want to set up a download button for free files? Easy Digital Downloads has the free download feature. However, the visitor has to go to the checkout page and fill the form after clicking on the purchase button.</p>
<p>This plugin bypasses that process and lets them download the file right away.</p>
<h4>Supports Download Counts</h4>
<p>Each download is counted as a payment as EDD natively handles. So you know how many times your files are downloaded. If it is downloaded by a logged-in user, you would know who downloaded what.</p>
<h4>Lightweight</h4>
<p>This is super lightweight and does not insert any plugin specific options.</p>
