This is an extension for Easy Digital Downloads that adds a Specs table table below your single download content (option to use it instead as a widget, and/or as a shortcode). The Specs table has these fields by default:

  • Release date
  • Last updated date
  • Current version (compatible with EDD Software Licensing plugin)
  • Product type
  • File format
  • File size
  • Requirements
  • Price
  • Currency code

You can leave a field blank to omit that row from the table. There are 2 exceptions to this.
1. The Last updated date field, since leaving that field blank will disable the entire table.
2. The Version field. This plugin is compatible with EDD Software Licensing plugin and with EDD Changelog Plugin. If EDD Software Licensing plugin is present, and you have enabled it for a download, that version will override this version in the Specs table on the downloads page. In that case, if you leave the Specs version field blank, the Specs table on the site will still show the version from EDD Software Licensing. So, EDD Specs plugin gives priority to the version entered in EDD Software Licensing plugin, then EDD Changelog Plugin, in that order.

In addition to leaving fields blank, you can add code to add more rows to the table (see FAQs).

  • It adds the “Current Version” of the download to the purchase receipt “Products” list (on EDD’s edd_receipt shortcode). This is only if EDD Software Licensing plugin or EDD Changelog plugin is not active because those plugins will add their own version.

  • It lets you enable the Specs table only for downloads that need it. See FAQ for details.
