<p>This plugin requires  1.6 or greater.</p>
<p>When using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a> plugin to sell digital downloads, this plugin will allow you to optionally add a change log and version number to each of your downloads.</p>
<p><strong>What does EDD Changelog do?</strong></p>
<p>It does a few things…</p>
<ul>
<li>It adds a metabox to the download post page that allows you to enter the change log and the current version number.</li>
<li>It’ll automatically append the change log at the end of the download’s product page in a collapsible container. If you do not want to automatically append the change log, there is an option to turn this feature off per download.</li>
<li>It also adds a new shortcode, <code>[edd_changelog]</code>. This shortcode when used on a download page will automatically show the current downloads change log. The shortcode has 4 options, <code>id</code>, <code>toggle</code>, <code>show</code> and <code>hide</code>.</li>
<li>The change log and version will also be inserted in the <code>[edd_receipt]</code> shortcode under the download link. The change log is presented as a link, that when clicked, will show in a lightbox.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What about <a href="https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/" rel="nofollow ugc">EDD Software Licensing</a>?</strong></p>
<p>This plugin completely compatible. If you’re not yet using <a href="https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/" rel="nofollow ugc">EDD Software Licensing</a> and you decide to start, <a href="https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/" rel="nofollow ugc">EDD Software Licensing</a> will automagically use the change log and version number you entered using this plugin. If you are using <a href="https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/" rel="nofollow ugc">EDD Software Licensing</a> this plugin will avoid redundancy and will use the change log and version entered into it.</p>


EDD Changelog

Great Plugin Keep it Updated

Would be nice the option of adding each version as a separate entry



Great plugin

Add a new metabox to the download where you can input the changelog. The changelog will be appended to the download page and the purchase history.

Easy Digital Downloads

<h4>Featured Downloads is now part of EDD Core</h4>
<p>As of Easy Digital Downloads 3.5.1, the Featured Downloads addon is included in Easy Digital Downloads. You no longer need this addon to use the Featured Downloads feature.</p>
<h4>About this Addon</h4>
<p>This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" title="Easy Digital Downloads" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>. It’s aimed at developers/clients who need to show a list of featured downloads.</p>
<ol>
<li>Provides a template tag so finely-tuned placement of featured downloads in your theme is possible.</li>
<li>Provides a shortcode which will simply list all the featured downloads, without the need to enter any IDs.</li>
<li>Provides a simple interface for managing featured downloads in the WordPress admin. A “feature download” checkbox will be added to each download edit/publish screen as well as the quick edit boxes. At a glance you’ll also be able to see which downloads have been featured on your website from the main download listing.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
<p>Add the “featured” attribute to the existing [downloads] shortcode provided by Easy Digital Downloads:</p>
<pre><code>[downloads featured="yes"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Template Tag Usage</h4>
<p>The following code can be used to show the featured downloads anywhere in your theme:</p>
<pre><code>echo do_shortcode( '[downloads featured="yes"]' );
</code></pre>
<p>You can include any other attributes supported by the <a href="https://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/224-downloads" rel="nofollow ugc">[downloads] shortcode</a>.</p>
<h4>Building your own Query</h4>
<p>To build your own query using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" title="WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query</a> you can use the <code>meta_key</code> parameter with a value of <code>edd_feature_download</code>. The following example builds a simple unordered list with all the featured downloads.</p>
<pre><code><?php

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'download',
    'meta_key'  => 'edd_feature_download',
);

$featured_downloads = new WP_Query( $args );

if( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : ?>

    <ul>
        <?php while( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : $featured_downloads->the_post(); ?>
        <li>
           <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                <?php the_title(); ?>
           </a>
        </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>

<?php endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</code></pre>
