keep existing custom post type

Hi squaremunkey,

Just to be clear, you’d like to use existing post types and not the ‘Downloads’ post type that is activated when EDD is installed?

Sadly that won’t be possible as the plugin can’t function without that post type and relies on it being active and in use throughout the plugin.

If you’d like to modify the admin labels, please go here to see how that can be done: http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/273-modify-the-download-post-type-admin-labels

If you’d like to modify the slug, you can use the following snippet:

if ( ! defined( 'EDD_SLUG' ) ) {
define( 'EDD_SLUG', 'products' );
}

The above snippet will change the URL slug from /downloads/ to /products/.
