The Downloads block allows you to display a grid of Downloads on your site similar to the [downloads] shortcode already provided by Easy Digital Downloads. The Downloads block provides a visual representation of your downloads, allowing you to see a real-time preview of your downloads as you configure the various settings. As well as being able to display downloads, a grid of Download Categories or Download Tags can be shown. ### Requirements * The latest version of the Gutenberg plugin OR WordPress 5.0 or greater * [Easy Digital Downloads](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/). ### Features #### Display a grid of Downloads 1.
