Customers Accounts

Hi there,

You do not need any additional plugins for accounts. You just need a specific configuration of the plugin and a couple of shortcodes.

The first thing you want to do is make sure you are forcing your customers to create accounts. To do that, go to Downloads -> Settings -> Misc (tab) in your WordPress dashboard and make sure you have the Guest Checkout setting disabled. Then be sure to choose to show the registration and login forms at checkout. This will force customers to create accounts.

With that, you can then use shortcodes like [purchase_history] and [edd_profile_editor] for account type content. You can put these in any page and they will not display to logged out users. You can see all of the shortcodes available here: http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/218-short-codes-overview
