<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.

wpautobahn

<h4>New Flexibility plus Enhanced User Experience</h4>
<p>We all know that sometimes 404 Errors happen on our sites. And sometimes users search but get no results. I believe it’s better to serve users some highly customized and maintained pages/content areas for these cases. What better to do that with Widgets in WordPress? — In my opinion Genesis Framework could improve here so that’s why I just made this little plugin to FINALLY have these two cases maintainable EASILY via your widgets admin. Just place in a search widget, your last blog posts, an image widget, some explanation via text widget, some galleries… You got it. The possibilities are endless. Finally.</p>

<h3>Idea Behind / Philosophy</h3>
<p>I always wanted the 404 and search not found content easily customizeable! The standard messages like “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” are a shame and lame user experience. Widgets in WordPress are powerful and allow for adding really diverse and custom stuff. So, when building my “Autobahn” child theme for Genesis I really came across this idea and technique. I also implemented it in a lot of my client projects. Now I am really happy to represent this tool in form of a plugin to make more webmasters and especially users/visitors really happy – and help them stay longer on your site!</p>
