    Sorry if this has already been covered, but I couldn’t find it through a search.

    Currently the top page for all downloads is mysite.com/downloads.

    I would like to change that. I tried making a new page (mysite.com/custom-page) and adding the shortcode [downloads], but that doesn’t change the slug for each individual download, which are still all children of the parent page mysite.com/downloads. I want them to be children of the parent page mysite.com/custom-page.

    You can change the slug using the EDD_SLUG constant.

    For example, put this in your wp-config.php file:

    define( 'EDD_SLUG', 'products' );

    Thank you Pippin.

    I have done that, and now the slugs are all pointing to the correct places. The only problem is that when I visit the pages, I only get 404s.

    I can see a way to fix this: by manually creating a page for each product and inserting the necessary shortcode. This is not too hard for me as I only have a few products. However, is there a more automatic solution?

    Sounds like you need to flush the rewrite rules. Try visiting the settings -> permalinks page (you don’t need to save). Now visit your downloads, are you still gettings 404s?

    Thanks sumobi. That has fixed it!

    I’m very happy with this plugin. I’ve spent a long time trawling through membership and ecommerce plugins to find that this does exactly what I want. Thank you!
