    Hi Mike,
    Firstly a very useful plugin, thanks!
    1) I wonder if there’s a way users can search the list. Particularly when the reading list is longer than one page, which means the user has to brows every page and use the browser’s search facility page by page.
    2) Or at least be able to see all the books by an Author or Type. At the moment clicking on the Author’s name or Types links (under the book entry) goes to a page with “Error 404 – Not Found”
    3) Can you add a feature to sort on the book’s author (currently it allows to sort on the post’s author)
    Thanks and looking forward.

    Hello,

    Sorry for the slow reply.

    1) The plugin was designed to integrate as naturally as possible with a wide variety of themes. That’s why it doesn’t support sidebars or offer elements like a search bar which could interfere or conflict with any existing elements in a theme. I can see how a search, or at least sorting dropdown, would be helpful though. I have added it to my list of things to do. In the meantime, you can enable the General > “Display on Whole Site” option in WP Reading List settings and use a stock WordPress search bar to have a search functionality.

    2) What Permalinks setting are you using? I am only getting a 404 with the “Default” setting. Using any other Permalink setting should solve the problem though or resaving your current Permalink setting. I have logged the 404 with Default as a bug.

    3) Yes, that is a little trickier but I have added it to my list of things to do.

    Thanks for the feedback and I hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Mike
