This plugin enables the new WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor for the Downloads post type from Easy Digital Downloads any other plugin or theme that uses a custom post type with the <code>download</code> slug.
Note: This plugin does not extend the Block Editor. If you are looking for a Downloads block to use on other pages or post, see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/edd-blocks/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads – Blocks</a>.
Although EDD and all its extensions are <a href="https://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/2086-wordpress-5-gutenberg-compatibility" rel="nofollow ugc">not yet guaranteed to be compatible</a> with the new editor, testing with the following plugins has not revealed any issues so far:
<ul>
<li>Easy Digital Downloads</li>
<li>EDD Software Licensing</li>
<li>EDD External Products</li>
<li>EDD Invoices</li>
<li>EDD Manual Purchases</li>
<li>EDD Recurring Payments</li>
<li>EDD Sales Recovery</li>
<li>EDD Stripe Payment Gateway</li>
</ul>

Likewise, let me know if you find this plugin to be compatible with a plugin not mentioned here, so I can update the known list 🙂

Replace the add-to-cart button in <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a> with a direct link to the download file when the product is free and has only one file. This only works when the file is an external link to a web-accessible file.
For archive pages on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/shop-front" rel="ugc">Shop Front theme</a>, the cart icon is replaced with a download icon and direct download link.
