    I was wondering about a few things:

    1) How can I could customize the retailer buttons that are contained in the id “mbm-book-links1 so that they are the dimensions I want and the borders are gone?

    2) How can I delete “mbm-book-links2” id along with the ‘Available on’ text?

    3) The genre, series, and tags links all send me to my ‘Newsletter’ post page. Is my theme and/or the post page interfering with those links?

    (1) Use custom CSS to change the layout. Custom CSS should be added in your theme options if your theme offers that, or you need a child theme and put it in the style.css file.

    #mbm-book-links1 .mbm-book-buy-links-image {
        min-width: 0;
        width: initial;
    }

    (2) Be aware that Amazon has rules about using their logos on your page, including having the “Available on” text. You may want to look them up.
    Unfortunately the way the page is coded there is not a way to remove the text via CSS. My suggestion would be to reorder your book links so that the Amazon one is last.

    (3) First things I would try are:
    (a) Reset permalinks. In Admin Dashboard, go to Settings->Permalinks and click the save button. No need to change anything.

    (b) In the Admin Dashboard, go to Mooberry Book Manager Settings -> Book Grid and make sure under “TAXONOMY GRID SETTINGS” you have “MBM Tax Grid Page” selected. If that’s not in the options, click the button to add a new page and be sure it’s selected.

    (c) On that same settings page, make sure there are values entered under “TAXONOMY BOOK GRID URL SETTINGS”

    If none of those work, let me know.

    1) Ah, a combo. That would be why I couldn’t get the images to change. Merely using one or the other proved useless.

    2) I’m not really understanding how moving the Amazon link will solve the ‘Available on’ problem. Also, I wasn’t looking for a CSS fix (I’d be surprised if CSS could solve this problem). What I wish to know is where the code for ‘mbm-book-links2’ and the ‘available on’ is located (too many files to look through and a search through cPanel turned up nothing) so I could investigate them. Or, barring that, if a PHP snippet into the functions.php file wouldn’t remove/control them.

    3) That’s very odd that the page wasn’t defaulted to the drop-down, but it wasn’t. Unfortunately, setting the Moo page and verifying that all fields have values didn’t fix the problem.

    I guess I misunderstood what you are trying to do. I thought you wanted to remove the text Available At. The easiest way would have been simply hiding with css but unfortunately I didn’t wrap the text with a tag.

    The reason I suggested rearranging was for a workaround to at least look better because it’s on its own line.

    It looked like you already hid the links2 because I didn’t see it on the page. So I thought you didn’t need that anymore?

    The reason there is not a way built in mbm to disable that text is because it’s in Amazon’s terms for using their logo.

    Off the top of my head ( not at my computer) I would suggest starting with the class-mbm-book-cpt file (or something like that). Remember that if you change plugin files, your changes will be overwritten when the plugin updates.

    As to the 3rd question, is supposed to choose it from the dropdown on activation but there’s a bug I need to track down. If neither that nor refreshing the permalinks fixed the issue I’ll need to research further when I’m back to my computer.

    Yeah, I managed to use CSS to delete the bottom (and I am surprised), and deleting the last two retailers from the Book Manager settings and then reinserting them made the <span> disappear. No idea why. . .

    So that leaves the third problem which unfortunately still exists.

    I tried again to reset the Permalink Settings, and that seems to have cleared things up with the incorrect page links. Thanks for the help and your patience.

    Glad that worked!
