That’s very strange, I’ve never seen a website react like that where it sends you to the home page when you type in the url given as the permalink. It seems that most likely either your theme or another plugin is interfering with your permalinks somehow. I would try disabling all your other plugins and theme and going into your Settings > Permalinks page and hitting “Save Changes” in order to force a refresh of your permalinks. You can then disable them one at a time to determine exactly which one is causing the problem.

I would also try deleting that post with the same url slug, that very well might be interfering with it, though I’m not entirely sure since like I said I haven’t seen a case like this before.

Hi myershenry,

Do you have a link to this page so that we can see exactly what you are referring to?

The “Other Book Sellers” box shows up when you have Buy Buttons set to display as Text Bullets. Go into your book editor and be sure that your Buy Button “Display as” fields are correctly.

You can categorize your books by creating “Tags” for them. You can see this on the book editor page on the right hand side where you usually find the Post Categories selector, there will be a be a “Tags” box.

You can find a listing of all books with a given tag by going to the “Tags” link on the WordPress menu under the MyBookTable heading, and clicking on the “View” link under the desired tag name.

You can create a link to this tag page by going to your Appearance > Menus page on the WordPress backend and create a custom link using the “Links” option, pasting in the url of the tag page.

Hi contemplate,

Unfortunately there is no way to have the books pop up in a shadow box built into the plugin, adding that would require custom development.

This is an interesting idea though, and we will consider adding it into a future update. I will discuss it with our management and see if we can fit it into an upcoming feature release.

What website is this happening on? The only thing that I can think might cause this is something being strange about your server setup, for example a private server behind a firewall that Facebook does not recognize. But if you’re on a regular server that’s publicly accessible it should be working properly. There’s actually nothing that we can really do to solve this from MyBookTable as the Facebook button is not actually generated by the plugin, we simply query Facebook for a share button customized for your page, and it will return this error if it does not understand the url of your page.

Hmmm, yes, I see that the book images on your site are the correct dimensions but they are erroneously being cropped for some reason. I’m not quite sure what might cause this, as the cropping for MyBookTable images is explicitly turned off in the code. It’s possible that another plugin on your site or your theme is forcing cropping to be turned on, this is possible to do through WordPress hooks, though it’s very bad practice.

One thing you can try is try downloading a plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails and running it, this will tell WordPress to clear out it’s cache of saved resized images and generate them all again from scratch from the originals. This has sometimes cleared up image size problems in the past. If that does not work I might try disabling your theme and other plugins and running it again, as they seem like the only things that I can think of that may be causing this.

Something about the styling of the box is interacting badly with the styling of your theme, it should be much further down and separated nicely. If you can send me a link to the book page I can see exactly what CSS selectors I need to be able to fix this for you and others with themes like yours.
