Featured Images

    Hi

    I have been using your plugin for a little while not and am this week going to launch my site that uses it. The changes you have made have allowed me to create a great site.

    One issue that is causing me a real problem is that you don’t use the inbuilt Featured Image for the book covers or for the multi author plugin.

    I have reviewed the code and added the flag to enable featured image for books and the multi author plugin but each time you release a new version I have to edit my site otherwise I lose the featured image feature.

    The reason I need featured image to be enable is so that I can use third party plugins for grids (I need more flexibility that the one you provide but I do use your on some pages) and other plugins to display sliders etc which all rely on the featured image inside your custom post type.

    I understand that you will probably not want to enable this as standard in your plugins but could you a check within your code for a variable which I could set in the wp-config.php to set a define and if it is set then your plugin would enable the featured image for books and multi authors.

    Thanks for your help and a great plugin.

    Best wishes

    Nathan

    I’ve emailed you.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have the same problem. How can I leave the book cover as a featured image?

    I will be adding this in to the next update of MBM. Stay tuned!

    Update to version 4.2 and you will now have an option in MBM Settings -> General Options to use the book cover image as the featured image of the post.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you, solved this problem. But created another lol the cover is appearing at the top on the book page. A suggestion if possible, is the plugin to create a “page assignment” exclusive to it within wordpress, so it does not generate this problem.

    And that’s exactly why this feature was not included in MBM by default. LOL Some themes use the featured image and some do not.

    I am not sure what you mean about a page assignment, but if you send me a link to your website I can help you with some custom CSS that will remove the image from the top of the book page.

    The new feature works really well as does the whole plugin.

    Just about to launch our new new site https://www.bookclub.ci and it uses the MBM plugin to do its magic.

    Thanks for a great plugin.

    elnatanrodrigues93,

    Thanks, Nathan! Glad MBM is working well for you! Best wishes with your site launch!

    Any chance you could add the same feature to the multi author plugin because for example when someone searches for a MBM book and the author is returned because featured image isn’t used by the multi author plugin no image is displayed.

    Yes, great idea! I will work on that next week.

    ops sorry! It was messing with my dns. Please, can you try again?

    Plugin Author mooberrydreams

    Try this:
    In Appearance -> Customize under Custom CSS copy in the following code:

    .mbdb_book .entry-image {
    display: none;
}

    Hi friend, sorry for the delay.

    Unfortunately it didn’t work. Css hides in the carousel of my theme e-books too. Is there a carousel option in e-books by shortcode? So it would solve my problem. (Example: Just like the Netflix movie gallery).
