Description
EDD Blocks adds a “Downloads” block to the new WordPress editor, also known as Gutenberg.
The Downloads block allows you to display a grid of Downloads on your site similar to the [downloads] shortcode already provided by Easy Digital Downloads. The Downloads block provides a visual representation of your downloads, allowing you to see a real-time preview of your downloads as you configure the various settings.
As well as being able to display downloads, a grid of Download Categories or Download Tags can be shown.

Shortcodes
Gutenberg also provides a shortcode block so we’ve added a [download_categories] and [download_tags] shortcode. Each shortcode shares the same attributes, mimicking the options of the Downloads block:
thumbnails
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the thumbnail image.
title
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag name.
description
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag description.
show_empty
true | false (default)
Whether or not to show empty terms.
columns
1 | 2 | 3 (default) | 4 | 5 | 6
The number of columns.
count
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the number of downloads in each term.
orderby
count (default) | id | name | slug
What to order the terms by.
order
ASC | DESC (default)
In which order to display the terms.
Shortcode examples
[download_categories count=”false” orderby=”name” order=”ASC” title=”false” columns=”4″]
