Easy Digital Downloads

Andrew Munro

EDD Blocks adds a “Downloads” block to the new WordPress editor, also known as Gutenberg.
The Downloads block allows you to display a grid of Downloads on your site similar to the [downloads] shortcode already provided by Easy Digital Downloads. The Downloads block provides a visual representation of your downloads, allowing you to see a real-time preview of your downloads as you configure the various settings.
As well as being able to display downloads, a grid of Download Categories or Download Tags can be shown.

Gutenberg also provides a shortcode block so we’ve added a [download_categories] and [download_tags] shortcode. Each shortcode shares the same attributes, mimicking the options of the Downloads block:
thumbnails
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the thumbnail image.
title
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag name.
description
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag description.
show_empty

Whether or not to show empty terms.
columns
1 | 2 | 3 (default) | 4 | 5 | 6
The number of columns.
count

Whether or not to show the number of downloads in each term.
orderby
count (default) | id | name | slug
What to order the terms by.
order
ASC | DESC (default)
In which order to display the terms.
Shortcode examples

[download_tags orderby=”id” order=”DESC” columns=”2″]

Easy Digital Downloads – Blocks

EDD Blocks adds a "Downloads" block to the new WordPress editor, also known as Gutenberg.

This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" title="Easy Digital Downloads" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>.
EDD Add To Cart Redirect allows you to redirect to any post, page, or download after the download has been added to the cart. It also allows you to set invidual downloads to redirect directly to the checkout, rather than all or none. It add’s 2 new options to a download’s edit/publish screen, in the “Download Settings” metabox that EDD adds.
It works with and without ajax enabled from downloads → settings → misc, on download grids, and on single download pages. When EDD v2.1 is released there will be a “redirect” parameter that will work with the [purchase_link] shortcode.
