What’s new in EDD - Git Download Updater 1.3.5

Version 1.3.5 · Jun 11, 2026 Latest

FixedAssets: Fixed an issue which caused fetching a release asset to fetch the source code instead.

What it does

If you sell plugins, themes or other digital goods through Easy Digital Downloads, every release usually means packaging a zip, uploading it and updating the product by hand. This plugin removes that manual step. You link a download to a Git repository, and the plugin fetches the files from it. That keeps your store in step with your development work and lowers the chance of shipping the wrong file to a customer.

The plugin works with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, so it can fit the setup you already use. You choose which branch or tag a product should draw from, which gives you control over which version goes out. The connection between your repository and your WordPress site uses authentication, and you can set update messages and changelogs so customers know what changed in each release.
