Download Details not showing after clicking a Category

Add to cart buttons are not shown on download archive pages by default, only on the single download detail pages, so that sounds like correct behavior.

Is there a procedure you can’t point me to so I can change the default?
I’d like the cart button accessible within the category pages.
I tried creating a copy of my archive page and renamed it:
taxonomy-download_category.php but it doesn’t seem to be pulling it.

Thank you once again for your prompt response.

Are you comfortable with a little PHP?

A TINY bit…:)

Ok the first thing to do is copy your theme’s existing archive.php file to a new one called archive-download.php

Once you do that, open archive-download.php and place this just after the line that contains “the_excerpt()”:

<?php echo edd_get_purchase_link(); ?>


I created a copy. But I don’t see a line that contains “the_excerpt()”

<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Archive pages.
*/

get_header(); ?>

<section id=”primary” class=”content-area”>
<div id=”content” class=”site-content” role=”main”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<header class=”page-header”>
<h1 class=”page-title”><?php echo estate_get_archive_title() ?></h1>
<?php
if ( is_category() ) {
// show an optional category description
$category_description = category_description();
if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
echo apply_filters( ‘estate_category_archive_meta’, ‘<div class=”taxonomy-description”>’ . $category_description . ‘</div>’ );

}
elseif ( is_tag() ) {
// show an optional tag description
$tag_description = tag_description();
if ( ! empty( $tag_description ) )
echo apply_filters( ‘estate_tag_archive_meta’, ‘<div class=”taxonomy-description”>’ . $tag_description . ‘</div>’ );
}
?>
</header><!– .page-header –>

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php estate_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘no-results’, ‘archive’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– #content .site-content –>
</section><!– #primary .content-area –>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Ah, see this line: <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

Open the file called content.php and look there.

Ok, I found this line in content.php :
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
and on the next line I placed :
<?php echo edd_get_purchase_link(); ?>

Do I first need to rename content.php to content-download.php?

Try it with this:

<?php if( get_post_type() == 'download' ) { echo edd_get_purchase_link(); } ?>

ok. Then what? Sorry for being so ignorant. This isn’t my specialty…

The purchase link now shows up on the search pages but not the download category pages.

Why is the purchase link text blurry?

Show me the complete code you have in that file now.

I’m getting the opposite results on the search pages and the download categories. The search pages are missing the images, and the download category pages are missing the purchase link. I’d like them both to include everything. I know you’re not in charge of my theme but can you suggest how to get the imagess to show in the search pages?

This is my current content.php
