Description
This Easy Digital Downloads extension connects your digital product downloads to code hosted on GitHub or Bitbucket. Instead of manually zipping and uploading files for each release, you choose a repository and version tag and let the plugin fetch and update the download. It can also refresh the version number and changelog when Software Licensing is used.
Key Features
- Fetch from Git tags – Pull zip files straight from git tags or releases on GitHub so your EDD download matches the tagged code.
- Private and public repos – Connect either private or public repositories, so you can serve downloads from code that isn't openly accessible.
- Changelog from readme.txt – When Software Licensing is in use, the plugin reads readme.txt to pull in and update the changelog for the download.
- Version switching and rollback – Move a download to a newer version or back to an earlier one by changing the version number and fetching.
- Automatic file naming – The plugin sets the correct file names for the download after it retrieves the code from the repository.
- Version and changelog updates – If you use Software Licensing, the extension can also refresh the version number and changelog automatically.
Who Is It For
This plugin is for developers and store owners who sell WordPress plugins or themes through Easy Digital Downloads and keep their code in GitHub or Bitbucket. It suits anyone who wants to avoid manually rebuilding and uploading download packages for each release.
