    Hi,

    I am trying to create a site with more than one category of books. I am testing your plugin and have noticed that after adding a number of books the page begins to grow very long. I see that the page designated as the book table page has pagination built in. I have tried using the shortcodes and tags, but none of them include pagination, and the page of books will become to long. Is there any way to create more than one book table page so there can be more than one category with pagination. If not how can I have menu items linking to different book categories that have pagination.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi wpdev2015,

    There are already automatically created pages for your site for each author/genre/tag that you create to categorize your books. You can find them by going to your WordPress sidebar under the MyBookTable heading and clicking on the appropriate taxonomy, for example “Genres”. This will pull up a page with a list of the genres you have created, and under each entry there will be a “View” link that will take you to the page on your site that lists the books of this type. In this example, the url of that page would be something like “yoursite.com/genre/fantasy”. These book listing pages will include pagination just like the book table page. Let me know if that all makes sense!

    Thanks Zookatron,

    Yes, that makes sense. I tried what you suggested and it does lead to a page with pagination added. Thank you, that solved my problem. I did notice though that the url now contains the word /genre/. I see that on the settings tab beneath the settings for the Book Table Page and Compatibility Mode there is a way to change the url, but I think it only affects the book table page settings. Is there any way to remove “/genre/” from the url. I am interested in this for SEO purposes. Thanks.

    Unfortunately there is no way to change the taxonomy url slugs from the WordPress backend. What are you trying to change it to, might I ask? In our experience we have found the defaults to be good for SEO as long as you are using it for it’s intended use case.

    Zookatron,

    Thanks for all your help. I decided to leave the URL alone. You are right, it will work just fine.
