The Plugin Pages

Upon activation, Easy Digital Downloads automatically creates various pages that are necessary for a functional checkout flow. You can find these pages under Downloads > Settings > General > Pages.

By default, the pages are created using the blocks available in EDD if you are using the default WordPress editor. For some pages, an alternative shortcode is available. It is recommended to use the Blocks when available.

The required plugin pages are as follows:

Checkout

The Checkout page contains the EDD Checkout block and is where buyers will complete their purchases. [download_checkout] shortcode can be used as an alternative.

Confirmation

The Confirmation page contains the EDD Confirmation block and is used to display a summary of the order. This page is where the customer is sent from the Checkout page when the order is completed and works alongside the Receipt page.

Receipt

The Receipt page contains the EDD Receipt block and is the page to show a detailed receipt for an order. [edd_receipt] shortcode can be used as an alternative.

Order History

The Order History page contains the EDD Order History block and shows a complete order history for the currently logged-in user, including download links. You can name this page anything you wish such as “Account”, “Profile”, etc. [purchase_history] shortcode can be used as an alternative.

A more detailed guide on creating an account area page is available here.

I can’t find one or more of my Plugin Pages; what do I do to get them back?
If you create your own pages, you will need to make sure they contain their relative block or shortcode(s) as noted above.

If you are using the default pages, but one or more are missing, first check your WordPress pages Trash section to see if they were perhaps deleted. If this is the case, you can “restore” the page. If any of the pages were permanently deleted, you can simply re-create them following the configuration mentioned above.

Please make sure that the Pages, if recreated, are correctly configured inside EDD’s settings under Downloads > Settings > General > Pages.
