This “[book title] Reviews” title on the GoodReads reviews is part of the response we receive when we query GoodReads for the book reviews. Changing this would be non-trivial and prone to break if GoodReads changes how their response is formatted.
As far as I know the Amazon Reviews does not have a book title header, they just have a “Customer Reviews” header inside the iframe that links to their content that we cannot change.

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] Buy Button from my PublisherYou can do this with the Universal Buy Button which is included in the MyBookTable Professional Upgrade available from our website. With it you can create Buy Buttons with custom text that link to any website.
Great, glad to hear it’s working for you again.
We’d definitely appreciate you leaving us a review if you’ve found the plugin useful!
Thanks,

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] Buy Button for LuluI don’t think we’ve had a request by any other users yet to support Lulu. Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll look into adding it.
This looks like it is caused by an incompatibility with your ElegantBiz theme. From what I can tell this is not a freely available theme so I am unable to download it and take a look at what exactly is causing this. I’m not sure why this would have only started happening after you updated to the most recent version of MyBookTable, I can’t think of anything that changed that would cause something like this.
The best course of action would be to contact the theme authors and ask them why their theme is throwing errors with the most recent version of MyBookTable and ask them to contact us with details about what is causing the error.

In reply to: [Hueman] compatibility issue with MyBookTable plugin.I just realized that the HTML example I gave above was incorrect, it should be:
<div id="mbt-container" class="entry">For anyone else looking to fix their MyBookTable templates to work with Hueman, it’s also probably a good idea to add the “pad” class like so:
<div id="mbt-container" class="entry pad">Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] Comments under booksHi Outlawman,
You can enable comments on your MyBookTable books by adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:
function open_mybooktable_comments($open, $post_id) { $post = get_post($post_id); if($post->post_type == 'mbt_book') { $open = true; } return $open; } add_filter('comments_open', 'open_mybooktable_comments', 10, 2);If your theme does not already provide comment forms on the pages, you can enable that by adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:
function add_comments_after_book() { comments_template(); } add_action('mbt_after_single_book', 'add_comments_after_book');If you want even more customization, you also can completely override any of the MyBookTable templates by copying all of the files under the /templates/ folder in the plugin files to a /mybooktable/ folder in your theme folder. You can read more about this method from our developer documentation here: https://github.com/authormedia/mybooktable/wiki/Template-System-Overview.

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] Uploaded but can't accessHi Kymora,
Yes, MyBookTable requires at least PHP 5.3.9 in order to function properly. Version 5.3.9 was released over 3 years ago, so you should be able to ask your hosting provider to update your site’s PHP to a more recent version. It is also just a good idea to try to keep your PHP as up to date as possible to ensure you don’t have any security holes on your website.
As for selling magazines with MyBookTable, the plugin should mostly work out of the box for that, depending on how deep of a customization you want. It’s easy to change the MyBookTable Product name from “Books” to “Magazines” or anything else via the settings pages, and many of the custom fields and buttons for books that we have are also applicable to magazines. If you have further questions please leave us a message via our contact form and we will get back to you shortly.

In reply to: [Hueman] compatibility issue with MyBookTable plugin.Hi Silvio,
You can override any of MyBookTable’s templates by copying the files in the /templates/ folder in the MyBookTable plugin into a folder called /mybooktable/ in your theme folder. You can learn the details from our developer documentation on the subject here: https://github.com/authormedia/mybooktable/wiki/Template-System-Overview (You can find this developer documentation again if you ever need it from the Help page in the MyBookTable plugin)
Using this you can then customize anything you need for theme compatibility, for example you could add the “entry” css class to your MyBookTable books by modifying the ‘<yourtheme>/mybooktable/single-book/before.php’ file, changing line 1 from:
<div id="mbt-container">to
<div id="mbt-container entry">This may have other unintended styling consequences depending on what styling your theme applies to the “entry” class but that is the basic idea.
If I remember correctly, you should have the Developer Add-on for MyBookTable, which means if you have any further questions about any of this you can contact our Premium Support by going to the MyBookTable Help page and clicking “Submit a ticket”, which should get you more prompt support than posting to our WordPress Support Forum.
Hi Quincy,
MyBookTable should not be cropping your book images, they should be displaying at whatever ratio you uploaded them as.
Could you let me know what version of WordPress you are running? The only report we’ve had of incorrect image cropping before was caused by an outdated version of WordPress.

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] Share Buttons on Book PageIt looks like you’ve purchased one of our MyBookTable Upgrades, so you can get Premium Support by going to your MyBookTable Help page and clicking “Submit a Ticket”, that will help you get any issues you have with MyBookTable solved quicker in the future.
The social media buttons at the bottom of the book pages are controlled by the “Social Media Bar” checkbox on the Promote Tab of your MyBookTable settings. If you’re sure that you’ve unchecked this box and they’re still showing up, please double check that you don’t have any other plugins running that may add social media buttons to posts.
If you’re sure what you’ve disabled the Social Media Bar in your settings and no other plugins are responsible, I may need to take a closer look at your site to see what’s up.

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] InstallationFor others looking for the answer to this, Yes, you want to install both plugins. The Pro and Dev Upgrade plugins are meant to be run alongside and augment the core MyBookTable plugin.

In reply to: [MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media] show price from amazonNo, all changes to book information must be done by hand. It’s recommended that you show the official book list price on your site rather than trying to update it to match Amazon’s shifting prices.
