<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE: This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads v1.3+</strong></p>
<h4>What does this plugin do, exactly?</h4>
<p>This is a simple plugin that essentially does two things.</p>
<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>
<p>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>.</p>


EDD Versions

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

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>
