Hi Kery,
thanks for your reply. However, that’s exactly what I did: asking my question here in this forum in the hope to get help from other users. 🙂
I understand that your team keeps focused on paying clients – you’ve got to earn your salaries somehow.

Hi @frapet
I have read your query but It is mot much clear to me. Can you please elaborate it a little more?
It would be good if you can provide me some rough screenshot for better understanding.

Hi @pratik-jain,
what I dream of is an option like the one presented on this site: https://barn2.co.uk/easy-digital-downloads-table-plugin/ (look at the first GIF in the article!)
But I am afraid that filtering is not possible without installing a commercial extension.
Frank
Hi @frapet
Thanks for the the reference screenshot.
If you are using [edd_downloads] OR [downloads] shortcode then you can pass category or tag parameter in that. For example : [edd_downloads category=”5,10″ tags=”5,10″]
You can put each each category shortcode and use it.
You can make it dynamic also by putting this shortcode in a category loop and pass it’s id in it 🙂
If you are looking for search, sorting or filter functionality then you have to do with custom code or you can go with any built in add-on.

Thanks, Pratik Jain!
I already knew the shortcode trick.
I don’t understand what “category loop” means.
In the end, sorting functionality seems to be available only with an expensive add-on.

Hi @frapet
Please refer below screenshot so you will be more cleared.

So basically you need to fetch all categories, make a loop of it and pass relevant shortcode within loop.
You can check it out this git link also.

Yes, for sorting, filtering and searching you need to take help of Custom coding or any built in solution.
Here is one article also

I hope the provided materials will help you 🙂
