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.

thumbnails
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the thumbnail image.
title

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

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

In which order to display the terms.
Shortcode examples

Easy Digital Downloads – Blocks

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

When using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a> plugin to create an online store that sells digital downloads, this plugin will allow you to attach a version number to each of your products.
NOTE: This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads v1.3+
<h4>What does this plugin do, exactly?</h4>
This is a simple plugin that essentially does two things.
<ol>
<li>Adds a “Version” field to the EDD’s “Download Configuration” meta box.</li>
<li>Adds the inputted version to the Download History table outputted from EDD’s <code>[download_history]</code> shortcode.</li>
</ol>
<h4>What about the EDD Software Licensing addon?</h4>
To avoid redunancy, if you’re using the <a href="https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/" rel="nofollow ugc">EDD Software Licensing</a> addon, which already allows you to input a version number, this EDD Versions plugin will not add its “Version” field. And instead, your version number setup with the EDD Software Licensing addon will get used in the table outputted with <code>[download_history]</code>.

EDD Versions

This plugin adds version numbers to your downloadable software products in Easy Digital Downloads.
