Documentation

Hi, thanks for the suggestion 🙂 You have very good points here, as the developer, we thought the extension is so simple that user can just install and using it, but obviously that’s not for everyone 🙂

We are currently working on a site for all of our WP related products (vafpress.com), we’re going to put detailed documentation in the site, it’s expected to be live in couple of days 😀

As for now we will answers to your questions in short:

1. Under EDD Settings -> Misc, there are short description for each field, and default value that can serve as example.

2. There are 3 pages:
a. File List
This page is used to list all downloads links if a download has more than 1 files.
b. User Log in and Registration Page
This is where user will be redirected if member only download is turned on and user isn’t logged in while trying to download.
c. Download Gateway Page
This will serve as “thank you for download” page.
All those pages are editable via page admin, so you can add custom information on those pages.

3. There are 2 notable shortcodes:

[download_link id=”” text=”” class=””] -> for outputting download button manually by download id.

[vp_edd_membership_form] -> for outputting user log in and registration form.

4. The extension basically override the normal purchase / add to cart button of premium download with free download button when the download price is set to 0.

Thanks.

Hi David,

The plugin basically is just install and use, if you have any difficulties please post a question here and we would love to help you 🙂

Hi, since this is an extension of EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) Plugin, the settings is located inside EDD menu:

Downloads -> Settings -> Misc Tab -> Free Download Settings Section

Thanks!
