<h4>Optimized Display plus Bonus Features</h4>
<p>This plugin provides <strong>optimized templates for the ‘download’ Custom Post Type</strong> of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads plugin</a> for the use with <em>Genesis Framework</em> and <em>Child Themes</em>. To allow easy customization of these templates, and ensure that you do not lose your customizations when the plugin is updated, you can place your own copies of these templates in your child theme’s <code>/edd/</code> folder and customize these copies as much as you like. You can also create your own <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php</code> and <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php</code> templates in the same location and this plugin will find them and use them to display your website’s Download Category and Download Tag archives. See the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Custom_Taxonomies_display" rel="nofollow ugc">Template Hierarchy</a> to learn more about naming requirements for taxonomy templates.</p>
<p>Additionally, the plugin adds full support for the Genesis SEO Settings, inpost metaboxes for Layout Settings plus plugin support for “Genesis Simple Sidebars” as well as “Genesis Simple Menus”. Further, two additional (shortcode aware) sidebars are provided for the use on top of the Downloads Archives page and for Single Download pages. Further, breadcrumbs display and post meta info is tweaked for optimized usage.</p>
<p>Please note: This connect plugin is <em>not required</em> for Genesis & Easy Digital Downloads users but makes life a lot easier!</p>

Genesis Connect for Easy Digital Downloads

Integrate the Easy Digital Downloads plugin easily with the Genesis Framework and Genesis child themes: Templates, plus two additional widgets.

<blockquote>
<h4>New Flexibility plus Enhanced User Experience</h4>
<p>Take control over <strong>Your Archive Pages</strong> in <em>Genesis</em> again! Use the ever popular way of <em>Widgets</em> to build your own archive listing or sitemap-like content. Use up to three columns that are responsive and enable automatically. Don’t lose your archive/sitemap creations if you ever switch the <em>Genesis</em> child theme.</p>
<p>A great helper tool for <em>Genesis Child Themes</em>!</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> The plugin requires the <em>Genesis Theme Framework</em> (GPL-2.0+), a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ Copyblogger Media LLC (via studiopress.com).</p>
<p>Plus: A premium <em>PRO Version</em> of this plugin will be released in the future…! 🙂</p>
<h4>Advantages & Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Avoids long pages & blog posts listings that seem to happen a lot with the default template…</li>
<li>Far more possibilities for your archive pages: different listings of site menus, various site content, authors – plus search form, images etc.</li>
<li>Make sitemap-like pages very easily – use widgets by WordPress, Genesis or third-party plugins</li>
<li>Easily customizeable for any webmaster!</li>
<li>Works across all Genesis child themes – so you can switch your “skin” but not loosing this tool 🙂</li>
<li>Support Genesis 2.0+ and HTML5 enabled child themes!</li>
<li>Ideal for multilingual websites (for example with “WPML”): Much better handling of archive-/ sitemap-like pages for different languages. — <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-widgetized-archive/faq/" rel="ugc">See bottom of FAQ section here</a> for more info on that.</li>
</ul>
<h4>General Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Small & lightweight plugin tool: Just activate plugin, place your widgets and you’re done!</li>
<li>Adds up to three new widget areas (Sidebars) for the “Archive Page Template”</li>
<li>Adds very few CSS styles for the content area to properly divide widgets with some more space (all other styling is recommended via your child theme) and to enable responsive content columns (if more than one widget area is active)</li>
<li>Customizeable via 2 action hooks: if ever needed you can add content before and after the widgetized section</li>
<li>Customizeable via 6 filters: if ever needed you can customize the widget titles and descriptions</li>
<li>Fully internationalized! Real-life tested and developed with international users in mind!</li>
<li>Fully WPML compatible!</li>
<li>Fully Multisite compatible, you can also network-enable it if ever needed (per site use is recommended).</li>

<h3>Idea Behind / Philosophy</h3>
<p>I never really enjoyed the bundled “Archive” page template in Genesis. So I always wanted this template/ area a bit more easily customizeable since I first worked with Genesis! Widgets in WordPress are powerful and allow for adding really diverse and custom stuff – all in a very simple and user-friendly way. The approach of this plugin is to bring more power to the webmasters and users and help avoid other “archive” or “sitemaps” plugins and instead use the powerful tools from WordPress and Genesis that are already there. This plugin here works primarily as a ‘helper’ or ‘bridge’ plugin to just do that :).</p>

Finally, use widgets to maintain & customize your Archive Page Template in Genesis Framework and Child Themes to create archive/sitemap listings.
