Credits

I owe huge thanks to Pippin Williamson from PippinsPlugins.com who had the original idea for this plugin. He was absolutely helpful and supportive when creating this plugin. Just check out his awesome stuff and support his great work for WordPress!

1. Upload the entire edd-toolbar folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory — or just upload the ZIP package via ‘Plugins > Add New > Upload’ in your WP Admin
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Look at your toolbar / admin bar and enjoy using the new links there ?
4. Go and manage your digital downloads even more easily ?

Note: It’s not required to also have the “Easy Digital Downloads” plugin installed but without it this toolbar plugin makes absolutely no sense! — I recommend to use my plugin with “Easy Digital Downloads” v1.0.5 or higher.

Own translation/wording: For custom and update-secure language files please upload them to /wp-content/languages/edd-toolbar/ (just create this folder) – This enables you to use fully custom translations that won’t be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that, just use a language file like edd-toolbar-en_US.mo/.po to achieve that (for creating one see the tools on “Other Notes”).
