Ordlo Downloads: Getting Started

Part of Ordlo Downloads Documentation

Requirements

Installing

1. Download the ordlo-downloads zip from checkout.ordlo.io.
2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload, and activate.

Setting Up Your Downloads Library

1. Plan your taxonomy first — how do you want customers to filter files? (Document Type, Product Range, Audience, etc.) Go to Ordlo > Downloads → Settings → Taxonomies and create your labels and slugs.
2. Add download items — go to the Downloads post type in the admin sidebar, add items, attach files or URLs, and assign taxonomy terms.
3. Embed on a page — add [ordlo_downloads] to any page and confirm the table and filters work.
4. Adjust styling — go to Ordlo > Downloads → Settings → Style to match your brand.

Important

Don’t change taxonomy slugs after launch. The slug links items to their categories — changing it breaks those associations. You can rename the label customers see at any time, but not the slug.
