Okay, fixed the problem of the tags being stripped. Added

add_filter( 'rcno_book_description_strip_tags', function () {
return false;
} );

to my functions.php

Still have the issue of errors with some reviews being truncated and without a sidebar. Compare:

• https://bestfx.com/review/clear-and-present-danger/ (errors)
• https://bestfx.com/review/killers-of-the-flower-moon/ (the way it should look

I think this is the result of a recent WordPress update but I’m at a loss as to how to fix it or backup to the previous version of wordpress

That fixed the 404 errors but that did not fix the stripping of HTML tags from the

On https://bestfx.com/review/gettysburg/, the word “Gettysburg” under the Tag: should be bold and on its own line. The next paragraph should start: “Recounts the events …” e.g.,

Gettysburg

Recounts the events …

I have gone through and disabled each plugin on my site one by one without improvement. Something appears to be stripping away the custom CSS codes and HTML codes I enter in the “Book Description/Synopsis” text box. Links to authors and genres return errors. I’m baffled.

• https://bestfx.com/reviews/genres/action-adventure/ returns an error
• https://bestfx.com/reviews/authors/stephen-e-ambrose/ returns an error
• https://bestfx.com/review/gettysburg/ author, genre, and publisher links return errors

For whatever reason, i had to uninstall and reinstall the plugin and then everything worked (shrug)

Seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you. I love this plugin

I am not able to get external book cover images to show up in my reviews using the External Book Cover plugin. Please see Hell’s Highway.

I have followed the previous instructions but the image is not showing. Plus, if I move off of a review and then come back to edit, the link for the external book cover is missing.

I am using WordPress 6.11

I’m glad you are feeling better.

I right clicked the image and copied that very long link (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lv1d9A7Bz7DfcrGG-NcK9p8W7q1UIIjmSXL3WYdhEUsJIdQiEXVVXo5e5BuEmCnquCdxZXYwMV2FvmrmeJmXJ4EWL0N3BB603-w_aV1tVGfWqADm4lYnSJIvhQqa3HF4YxG80SUFhxIg6S0xBnXI9eLftXEyd4ra8OlgCvnBro2dKmZfgm6vVaRQelnbwL0n6KOC1-2Muxqou47fp-XtTsjfEsvTVuIuRT6cLdL1BX-4D9kj-yaEU60EtPvZazqdB8b27LBsiZths6GRhMqJbmJSPhEzdeZfGbZ60ip5cDs6F-DWHTmVheiMEF2J5K627KoEWxSb0qqWsVAAsklRrdlus5D3pmAt6IrnZNZW0X_Rsxz6hH6ec2N54sLv3OgmDIfV8HDnqfLUzROApbeQiI2X_oUif6sLPZinJU1hGT8vq5mn0bmZ4HG4qzuqA10Wnr1WKmKr8FjGGsT2mGg9AleikpOtL9gszzMDKTvi3jtffIdpgwX0bqwr45UvTSWBdYajfSKxmh1wffSo9_rCFJ1lzb2ewgfhhH-xeLASP2HWuj9Qu85YJ9XqH-yf3EdFWEixJINzENsa5bLWtqKoGVePFHEjBAAiDDfrilE0BqSo1Nvf05NRZ03Uc8cvEkMErpT_BwuvC60hEEpMDynBHlCXIfkCtBV8uqMNwQMeygyE83HDrtO2jbRWcCk5DvZv7Cj-c3X0LxbjDXvM_dkV8kI=w260-h400-no?authuser=1) into tinyURL.com and it gave the the short link (https://tinyurl.com/yuhk7u5w) which is much easier to work with

Thanks so much … it is working fantastic now. Just needed to us TinyURL and bada bing bada boom images shows up! You are fantastic. (https://bestfx.com/review/churchill/)

I greatly appreciate your help and hard work. I installed the plugin and found the “Custom Book Cover URL” field and populated it with an image URL. What I get on the review page is a link to the image rather than the image … have I missed a step?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I’m not seeing a link. I have “Custom User Metadata” extension installed but can’t figure out how to make the image appear in my page.

That is what I was trying to do with the rcno_reviews_book_cover_url is have the image show up on the book’s review page where the “NO COVER AVAILABLE” image shows up on this page: https://bestfx.com/review/stonewall-jackson-the-man-soldier-legend/

Thank you for the fix to the description field removing tags … worked like a charm.

For the rcno_reviews_book_cover_url, I would like to modify the default template to use that field where the book cover is. WordPress has a limit on images and i would like to serve my bookcover images from another site (google photos for example). I would like to also include a caption, if possible, below the image.

Thanks for you quick response.
Is it possible for me to use the “rcno_reviews_book_cover_url” in the template. I would like to modify the template (I’m using the default template).

Also, is there a way to modify the “Book Description/Synopsis” text box to prevent striping HTML tags? I would like to add some links in that section.
