EDD Hide Show Download

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.
