EDD Hide Show Download

Description

With this plugin, you can easily hide or show your Easy Digital Downloads product/download from the frontend display with just a click.

This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads.

It allows you to:
1. Hide a download so it doesn’t appear on the custom post type archive page, anywhere where the [downloads] shortcode is being used, or any custom query on a page template.
2. Prevent direct access to the download. The browser will redirect the user to the site’s homepage.
3. Do a combination of hiding the download and preventing direct access to it.

Filter example
Example filter of how you can change the redirect based on the download ID. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin

<?php code(function thsedd_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect( $url ) {
                // download has ID of 32
                if ( '32' == get_the_ID() ) {
                    $url = 'http://easydigitaldownloads.com'; // redirect user to another external URL
                }

                // download has ID of 12
                if( '12' == get_the_ID() ) {
                    $url = get_permalink( '12' ); // redirect to another download which has an ID of 8
                }

                // return our new URL
                return $url;
            }
            add_filter( 'edd_thsedd_download_redirect', 'thsedd_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );); ?>

Example filter of how you can globally change the redirect. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin

<?php code(function thsedd_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect( $url ) {
                $url = get_permalink( '12' ); // redirect to another download, post or page

                return $url;
            }
            add_filter( 'edd_thsedd_download_redirect', 'thsedd_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );); ?>
