Customizing the Checkout Page and CSS Files

Author: Brad WilliamsPosted in: Easy Digital Downloads, Free

This tutorial goes over how you can customize the Easy Digital Downloads checkout page templates. I also go over how you can customize the Easy Digital Downloads CSS file.

Notes from the Video

  1. Create a new directory in the root of your WordPress theme files called edd_templates
  2. In /wp-content/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/templates copy and paste checkout_cart.php into the edd_templates directory that we created in Step 1.
  3. You can now open this file and make changes without having to edit the Easy Digital Downloads plugin directly(great news if you need to update the plugin in the future). In the video, I just changed all instances of “Item” to “Theme”
  4. To customize the CSS for Easy Digital Downloads, we need to follow the same steps above. Just copy the edd.css file from /wp-content/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/templates and put it in our edd_templates directory.
  5. You can now override and add any styles you would like to Easy Digital Downloads.
