    I assume that your plugin uses my theme’s default page. Problem is, it’s conflicting with my theme and i don’t see an option when creating a download to select a default page or any other page.

    I would like to modify my theme’s default page, give it a new name, and then be able to select it when i create a new download. Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Sorry for the slow reply!

    Could you show an example of the conflict?

    The following link is a download test page: https://trobook.net/44904/downloads/test-download/ Notice the social media buttons, where the Twwitter button is all messed up.

    Now this link is uses the theme’s default page. Notice the social media buttons are all ok: https://trobook.net/44904/lorem-ipsum-dolor/mauris-posuere/

    So if i could copy my theme’s default page to a new page, remove the social media buttons, then select that new page when i create a download page, that would be great. But there are no options to select the type of page with your plugin, it just automatically uses my theme’s default page. I don’t want to remove the social media buttons from my theme’s default page.

    Got it.

    The problem happens because your theme is using a function improperly.

    Easiest way to fix it:

    1. Duplicate your theme’s single.php and name it “single-download.php”
    2. Open single-download.php and remove the social icons.
    3. This will only remove the icons from the Download product pages.

    Yes. That is exactly what i would like to do. But how do i get your new download page to use the “single-download.php”

    Thanks

    It will automatically.

    Well i was able to remove the share buttons but now the download page is blank and not using my theme, only the checkout page. Please click on the link for better demostration: https://trobook.net/44904/freebies/ (then click on ‘Test Download’) Thanks

    Looks like you removed parts of the template you weren’t supposed to. Could you paste the contents of the file into snippi.com then share the link?

    I dupplicated this file and removed one line (#8) only – https://snippi.com/s/ev4ri0j

    If you add the line back in, does it restore the previous layout?

    No. This happened after i duplicated the single.php and renamed the copy to single-download.php. That’s why i was wondering how the plugin knows to use the single-download.php and not the single.php, but that’s beyond my capabilities.

    It knows to use single-download.php because of how the WordPress templating system works.

    The download products are part of what is called a “custom post type”.

    When viewing a Download, WordPress first looks to see if a single-download.php file exists because it is designed to first look for single-{post type}.php. If that file doesn’t exist, it falls back to single.php.
