Description
This plugin allows you to add WordPress.org plugins and themes as free downloads in Easy Digital Downloads.
When you add a WordPress.org plugin or theme URL to a download, the add to cart / buy now buttons will be replaced with a “Free Download” button that links to the WordPress.org plugin/theme page instead.
This plugin also adds a helpful widget that displays info such as the download count, dates added/last updated, current version, and more. This info is cached via transients so it will work well on high traffic servers, and only displays on downloads added as WordPress.org downloads.
