How to enable download count on WooCommerce product page
- Choose a file which will never be updated during any kind of update, whether it’s WordPress upgrade, plugin updates or theme update. Most commonly it can either be
functions.phpfile of your custom theme or any other file of your custom plugin. - Add following code in that file
function show_number_of_downloads() { global $wpdb, $product; $product_id = ( is_object( $product ) && is_callable( array( $product, 'get_id' ) ) ) ? $product->get_id() : 0; if ( empty( $product_id ) ) return; $product_type = ( is_object( $product ) && is_callable( array( $product, 'get_type' ) ) ) ? $product->get_type() : 'simple'; if ( 'variable' === $product_type ) { $product_ids = $product->get_children(); } else { $product_ids = array( $product_id ); } $how_many_product_ids = count( $product_ids ); $id_placeholder = array_fill( 0, $how_many_product_ids, '%d' ); $count = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT SUM( download_count ) AS count FROM {$wpdb->prefix}woocommerce_downloadable_product_permissions WHERE product_id IN (".implode( ',', $id_placeholder ).")", $product_ids ) ); if ( ! empty( $count ) ) { echo '<strong>' . esc_html__( 'Total downloads' ) . '</strong>: ' . $count; } } add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'show_number_of_downloads' );Note: This code will work with WooCommerce 2.5.0+
- Save the file. You’re done!
The above code will work for both simple & variable products. For simple products, it’ll simply show total download counts. But a variable product can have more than a variations & each variations can provide either separate or same downloadable file.
Therefore download count of each variations are recorded separately. The above code automatically combines download count of each variations & display on product page.

Hi,
Thank you for the snippets, it works great.
One question, would be how to control the position of where it appears ?
For now it shows under the price – But I’d like to have it show up under the add to cart button.
Can you help with the position ?
Let me know
thanks!
In the above-mentioned code, replace this line of code
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'show_number_of_downloads' );with this
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'show_number_of_downloads' );Thank you for the snippets, it works great.
i want to add total download for all product example in footer
Thank you
The above-mentioned snippet is only for a single product. It’s not possible to do a smaller tweaking in the above-mentioned code to display total downloads for all products. It will require an entirely new snippet.
Thank you and that’sThat’s what it looks like https://ibb.co/Rys6n1w
But just another question is there a way to add an icon before the text as in this template thank you in advance https://ibb.co/B3W291j
To add an icon before the download count, you’ll need to add the HTML of that icon in the above-mentioned code like this.
Replace this line
with this line
echo '<strong>' . esc_html__( 'Total downloads' ) . '</strong>: {HTML-code-for-icon}' . $count;and insert the HTML code of that icon in place of
{HTML-code-for-icon}Hi, let’s say someone just purchased a digital product on my store. After he completes it, how I can show one small text with a hyperlink that says eg: You purchased this item. Click Here to download.
The words click here to be clickable hyperlink that redirect to My Downloads page.
