Sorry for the long delay here. I completely missed your last question.
The answer is yes. You should use the purchase link shortcode. http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/229-purchaselink
Sorry for the delay here. Try adding the following code to a custom plugin:
/** * Enables the Featured Image meta box in Download edit screen. */ function sd_add_thumbnail_support_downloads() { add_post_type_support( 'download', 'thumbnail' ); } add_action( 'init', 'sd_add_thumbnail_support_downloads' );If you need help creating a custom plugin, Pluginception is the perfect tool.

In reply to: [Simple Course Creator] Courses Blending Content With Other CoursesHi there,
This is actually not related to Simple Course Creator. The links you are describing sound like “next” and “previous” links output by your theme (which is why you also see them on posts that aren’t in courses).
This would require a theme edit to not show the navigation links if a post is part of a course. Are you comfortable with PHP?
Hi Deyson,
Thanks for opening a ticket about it. Just so you know, GitHub gists do not notify the authors when comments are left. Gists are just code snippets (sometimes complex, sometimes simple) and I guess GitHub doesn’t feel like email should be sent for comments. So it’s best not to ask questions on gists without pointing it out to the gist author.
I’ll see if adjustments can be made to the code and let you know. Nice idea!
That would be controlled by the theme. If you go to add a new post, is there a Featured Image option there?
Hi Nicolas,
Is it possible for you to share a link to your site? I’d like to see this happen live if possible. At the moment, I don’t think this is a configuration issue.
If you are uncomfortable sharing your site URL publicly, you can use the support form on EDD’s site and keep the conversation private. https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support/
Hi there,
This can be done in a couple of different ways. It depends on what part of your site you’re referring to.
The first way is the single download page itself. When you created a new Download entry from your WordPress dashboard, that entry got its own front-end page. And if that’s what you’re referring to, the way the content is structured depends 100% on your theme. Most themes will show the name, description, and purchase link automatically. The thumbnail is not always guaranteed as its important that the theme supports the display of featured images.
The other way this content is shown is from the [downloads] shortcode. http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/224-downloads There are parameters available in that shortcode that control how the product presentation is structure. You can use the [downloads] shortcode in your content on page post or page and control the display of this information.
Note: Make sure you always use the Featured Image setting to upload a thumbnail for your ebook. Placing an image directly in the content will not display the same in either approaches I mentioned above.
Hi there,
No worries. There could have been any number of scripts being used to modify the elements. But if you’ve confirmed that the problem is solved, no need to provide the screenshot.
Glad I could help!
Hi there,
There shouldn’t be a drop down for quantities but instead a text box where the user can input a number. Do you have something different? If so, can you show me a screenshot?
The quantity input is a built-in option that you can turn off site-wide. You can go to Downloads -> Settings -> Misc (tab) in your WordPress dashboard and disable the Item Quantities setting.

In reply to: [Simple Course Creator] Courses Blending Content With Other CoursesHi there,
Sorry for the delay. Can you explain in more detail what you’re experiencing?
When you create posts, you can only assign them to one course at a time. Are you saying that you have posts that are showing up in multiple courses or are you saying that posts are showing up in the wrong course altogether?
Links or screenshots would be super useful. Thanks!

In reply to: [Easy Digital Downloads - Empty Cart] Display before checkout?Sorry again for another long delay, Anna. it appears that none of your links are working, though, or else I’d attempt to catch up on your inquiries.
Hi Anna,
I’m sorry again for the long delay here. Unfortunately, the creator of EDD Download Info is not part of the EDD team, though he is a valued community member. I will not be able to provide support for his extension. You will need to request support on his extension page.
If he is unable or unwilling to help, you may need to hire a developer to help with custom work. EDD maintain’s a list of recommended consultants that may be of some assistance.
Hi there,
I’m sorry for missing your reply after mine. I’ve located your ticket in our support system so I will move there to assist you now.
Hi there,
The Stocky developer had no reason to create watermark functionality because that’s what Download Image Watermark is for. It mentions that on the product description on ThemeForest and links to it.
The bad thing about development in the WordPress space is that it’s hard to consider all scenarios when creating something from scratch. The good thing about development in the WordPress space is that anything can be enhanced with feedback from users. Us developers thrive on that.
If you take everything you mentioned above and convey it to the Stocky developer, I’m sure he would agree with you and it’s possible that he could make changes in the future, (though it’s not guaranteed). Just keep in mind that his work is in fact perfect for someone out there as it stands. That doesn’t mean it can’t be perfect for you too. You just have to communicate through the correct channels and voice your needs.
Hi there,
Unfortunately, I will not be able to write the code for you. This would be custom development and you’d need to hire someone to do it for you if you are not familiar with PHP yourself.
Please do not edit the core EDD plugin. Not only will you run the risk of breaking the plugin functionality, you will also lose your edits every single time EDD updates. All edits to functionality need to be done programmatically from an external plugin, which is what our extensions do. That’s why I referred you to Checkout Fields Manager as it will collect the information without you needing to write any code.
The functionality you are requesting is unique to your needs so it’s going to take a little custom work, though not very much. We do not provide custom code as a service, only documentation to help guide you through the inner workings of the code if you need to make changes yourself. We do, however, have a list of recommended consultants that may be available for hire. https://easydigitaldownloads.com/consultants/
