[Plugin: MyBooks for Authors, by Out:think Group] I can't see book page/post

Hey Gronco,

try going to Settings > Permalinks, and click “Save Changes” – that’s probably the issue here.

Also I don’t know why I don’t get notified when people post, but I didn’t see this until just now. Sorry for the delay.

If you need any more help, please email [email protected]

Hello Joseph Hinson,
Your tip was great! After deactivating the plugin and saving the Permalink structure again, my tree /books was coming up again. But then I was curious what the problem is in general. I think your plugin creates a post category (but it is hidden) that lets all the Books be published under the tree /books.

Now I was looking at the code but could not find where to change that? For example, there should be a function in the code that indicates this tree. And this could changed into anything similar, like /publications or /mybooks.

I do not want to change my site hierarchy because it’s since long published on Google and on many places on the web.

Thanks for any help. I have written also to your company.

ipublica,

This plugin uses a post type and WordPress’ template hierarchy to show all the books together in a /books template, which will adopt your site’s blog template. If you don’t want to use the slug “books”, here’s a solution that will work for you:

In the file mybooks.php, line 54, update the line:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'books'),
to:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'newslug'),

That should fix your problem. Now your “books” through the plugin will live at https://yoursite.com/newslug, and each single: https://yoursite.com/newslug/book-title

Note: You’ll need to reset your permalinks after updating the slug.

One additional note, please contact a plugin’s author before rating a plugin 1 star. We write these things and put them out there for free, and it makes the work very demoralizing to have someone lower the overall star rating before we’ve had an opportunity to help with the problem.

I will be updating the plugin so that the next version will update the permalinks automatically and restore any permalink structure that was modified.

Great idea to update your plugin description, this will solve the issue forever!

I have sent you a support mail to your website. Thanks for all the great author tools you offer on your site. Only now I discover how valuable all this is, really fantastic. I was able to setup the custom menu and widget:

I am using the slug /featured now, change of code and setup worked fine for me. Thank you!

Unfortunately there is a problem with the cover display on the book page, and the buy buttons are all at the bottom, under the cool author box, how to change this?

Is it all the problem of my theme?
Thanks in advance.

And I will review your plugin again, as I am unable to edit or delete the initial post. After all, your plugin is fantastic and I will review it 5-star. Also, it’s rare that one gets support on free plugins, you do a very good job. Thank you so much!
Pierre

One suggestion for the future. You could enable links to Kindle books on Amazon, Nook books on Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. Can I use your plugin also for displaying featured audio content?
