AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
EDD Hide Download is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Ecommerce category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 7 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How EDD Hide Download works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads.
If you’ve created a custom landing page or purchase funnel, hide the default product page of an Easy Digital Downloads product from users, and redirect them to your funnel. This allows you to optimize your purchase funnel and increase revenue.
EDD Hide Download 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
1. Prevent direct access to the download product page. The browser will redirect the user to the site’s homepage.
1. Do a combination of hiding the download and preventing direct access to it
This plugin is extremely useful in the following situations:
You’ve created a product landing page and inserted a buy now button to your product. Since the landing page contains all the required product information, you can hide the product on the rest of your site and even prevent direct access to it.
You’ve added a product (eg support package) that shouldn’t sit with your other products you have listed. In this case we can simply hide it from appearing with the other products and insert it where we’d like it to appear using the shortcode.
Filter example

// download has ID of 15 if( '15' == get_the_ID() ) { $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download which has an ID of 8 }
// return our new URL return $url; } add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_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
function sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect_url( $url ) { $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download, post or page
return $url; } add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );
