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
true | false (default)
Whether or not to show empty terms.
columns
1 | 2 | 3 (default) | 4 | 5 | 6
The number of columns.
count
true (default) | false
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_categories count=”false” orderby=”name” order=”ASC” title=”false” columns=”4″]
[download_tags orderby=”id” order=”DESC” columns=”2″]

This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>.
If you’ve created a custom landing page or purchase funnel, hide the default product page of an Easy Digital Downloads product from users, and redirect them to your funnel. This allows you to optimize your purchase funnel and increase revenue.
EDD Hide Download allows you to: 
1. Hide a download so it doesn’t appear on the custom post type archive page, anywhere where the [downloads] shortcode is being used, or any custom query on a page template 
1. Prevent direct access to the download product page. The browser will redirect the user to the site’s homepage. 
1. Do a combination of hiding the download and preventing direct access to it
This plugin is extremely useful in the following situations:
<ol>
<li>You’ve created a product landing page and inserted a buy now button to your product. Since the landing page contains all the required product information, you can hide the product on the rest of your site and even prevent direct access to it.</li>
<li>You’ve added a product (eg support package) that shouldn’t sit with your other products you have listed. In this case we can simply hide it from appearing with the other products and insert it where we’d like it to appear using the shortcode.</li>
</ol>
Filter example
Example filter of how you can change the redirect based on the download ID. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin
<pre><code>function sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect( $url ) {
 // download has ID of 17
 if ( '17' == get_the_ID() ) {
 $url = 'http://easydigitaldownloads.com'; // redirect user to another external URL
 }

 // download has ID of 15
 if( '15' == get_the_ID() ) {
 $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download which has an ID of 8
 }

 // return our new URL
 return $url;
}
add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );
</code></pre>
Example filter of how you can globally change the redirect. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin
<pre><code>function sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect_url( $url ) {
 $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download, post or page

 return $url;
}
add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );
</code></pre>
