Non-related information on the review pages

    Sorry, I’m new to WordPress so the answer might be obvious, but unlike my other pages and posts, I can’t see how to add non-related information to the review page. I don’t want this information as a footer. On other plugins, the page is listed and extra bits can be added, but the Revencio “review” pages (which on my site have been renamed “bookstore” seem to be self-contained. Is it possible to add other links, code and plugins to the review pages so this extra information is available to visitors?

    For instance, I have a small “tablepress” table with links to the latest books in my bookstore, and I would like to put on each page of the website.

    At some point, I would also like to add something similar to the [rcno-sortable-grid] to the same page but only showing a few books rather than the complete library.

    For example:

    I think I have an idea as to what is happening.

    The thing is, most plugins which add information to a page work by looking for the default post or page WordPress post types. With the Recencio plugin I have introduced a review post type, in your case the new post type is “bookstore”.

    With that said, most plugins do provide a way to work with custom post types via WordPress actions or filters.

    If you provide me with more information I maybe able to assist you as you are new to WP.

    Thanks for the reply.

    What I want to do is add the “recent additions” table to the bottom of the review (bookstore) page.

    The recent additions appears on the home page

    the code for this “recent additions table is [table id=2 /] which I update when a new book is added to the bookstore

    On other pages, I simply add [table id=2 /] where I want the strip to appear but how do I get it to appear on a review (bookshelf) page?

    What happens when you add the [table id=2 /] shortcode at the end of a review?

    Yes, that is NEARLY what I want, except now the [table id=2 /] is between the end of the review and the links to “amazon” and other retailers… Please see the example above

    including [table id=2 /] is the answer but its just a question now of getting the position right …

    I might try adding the available from “amazon” etc links as part of the review but before the [table id=2 /] …

    I also want to add another strip for with covers and links for “books by the same author”

    Thanks for the help. I think the time you have spent developing this adding and answering everyone’s questions is extremely helpful. Thank you

    Done it! Thank you for your help but I’ve found out how to add the [table id=2 /] table to the Page Footer! I am learning such a lot and I’m extremely grateful for your support.

    Did you by chance use do_shortcode()?
    Also, thanks for taking the time to put my plugin through its paces.

    I have no idea what do_shortcode() is, where it goes or what it is!

    I’m finding the Revencio plugin very useful but I’m having an issue with some reviews not appearing. I’m following the advice you give regarding “Settings/Permalinks/Save” but it doesn’t always cure the issue. I really appreciate the way you are monitoring these help pages!

    Do you have an example of one of those instances where a review doesn’t show up? Usually when that happens it is from a clash with one of WP’s default taxonomy or post types.
