I’m using Now Reading Reloaded and All In One SEO with the Suffusion theme. Everything is working except the value used for title on the page that’s displayed for a book (ex: https://brendaabell.com/?now_reading_author=martin-l-abbott-michael-t-fisher&now_reading_title=scalability-rules-50-principles-for-scaling-web-sites).
I know the problem is somewhere between the two plugins and the theme, but really having trouble tracking it down (I only know enough about WP to muddle my way through the more common stuff).
Suffusion has a special “single” template for NR that calls get_header(). So I guess my first question is whether that call to get_header() triggers anything in the NR plugin that would give me control over the document header (NR’s single.php also invokes get_header(), but I believe NR’s single.php is being overridden by Suffusion).
Just wondering if someone could give me a hint as to where I should start looking.

]]>I’m using the Suffusion 3.8.2 Theme. Trying to create a fresh “Books” page and incorporate the Now Reading library in place of the default blog theme on the homepage and post pages. Within “Pages”, the templates drop-down does not include Now Reading when editing the “Books” page. But, when reviewing “Suffusion Options” under Appearance, the NR template appears under Templates.
How do I add the NR plugin template to a page so that it overrides the default them I’m using for blog posts, etc.?

]]>Hey all,
Bascially I really want to use this plugin, but can’t get it to work with my theme. Is there anyone out there prepared to install it and sort it out to work with my theme for a bit of money?
If you could get back to me on this or email [email moderated] then that would be wonderful!
Thanks
]]>I feel quite foolish having to ask this but where in the AWS console can I find my key ID and secret key? Usually API keys are pretty apparent int he account information screens but I can’t seem to find it and Googling has only revealed how to find it in the old interface.
I’m all signed up, credit card and all (BTW the service this plugin uses is a free part of AWS correct?)
Thanks in advance, I’m looking forward to actually using this plugin once I pop in my keys!

]]>So I’ve been doing a lot of customizing to fit NRR into my theme’s templates, but I’m stuck on the menus—I’d like to be able to add a “Bookshelf” link to my site’s menus.
The theme I’m using generates menus dynamically from my pages and categories. It’s no problem to drop in a “fixed” menu item for Bookshelf, but I’m stuck on manipulating the markers. The theme uses the usual class=’current_page_item’ in the pages menu to mark the current location, but I can’t figure out how to grab the /books that NRR creates. Is it a category? A page? It’s something else, isn’t it? Is there a conditional tag or something I can use to switch off of?

]]>I’m trying to use custom metadata in my library entries, without any luck. I have a custom key ‘book_desc’ for example, with some copy in the value box.
Using the obvious(?)
$desc = get_post_meta($post->ID,'book_desc',true); echo $desc;
in my template doesn’t produce any output. Tried replacing “post” with “book” in the above, just for kicks, with no result, either.
Using the_meta() gives me metadata from a post on my blog, but nothing to do with the books I’m working with.
Has anyone had success with custom metadata? Thanks!
]]>My Now Reading Reloaded pages aren’t populating the WordPress page title properly. wp_title is blank, and when I try to call nr_page_title on any of the library pages it seems to be blank too.
Here is the code for page title in my theme’s header.php:
<title><?php if(is_home()) bloginfo('name'); else { wp_title(''); ?>?>?<?php bloginfo('name'); } ?></title>
And within now_reading.php there’s the function:
function nr_page_title( $title )
I won’t post the whole function, but I haven’t modified it. My understanding is that this function should be populating wp_title, but it doesn’t seem to be. And even when I try to call it directly in a page, it seems to be blank.
I’ve had Now Reading Reloaded running for some time but have never managed to crack this particular problem. I’m hoping someone here can help and that it’s a fairly obvious solution that I’m missing!

Thank you for the great plugin.
I would be interested in having a categorised view in which books can be categorised.

Everything seems to be working fine with “now reading reloaded”

Thanx for your help!
]]>Dear bgunnink,
I’m interested in doing some dev work on the plugin. Is there any way I can be added to the dev team so that NRR can continue without creating a new plugin? I had contributed once before long ago (https://impleri.net/2007/03/now_reading_revised/) to the original plugin. Please contact me in some way (my email is [email protected]), reply to this, etc. Cheers!

How about adding an option to save all donwloaded images on the local server?

]]>I’m using a plugin “Display Widgets 1.12” to control what pages my widgets appear on. That plugin works for everything except “Now Reading Reloaded.” The options should be visible on the appearance->widgets dashboard, but they are not. Now Reading Reloaded instead only offers a “Title” property.
I presume there is a hook-point that Reading Reloaded must add to achieve this compatability?
I am using version 5.1.3.2 of Now Reading Reloaded.

]]>“Now Reading” seems to cause an error in the nice permalinks on one of my blogs that throws out the error message
“Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /wp-includes/classes.php on line 210
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /wp-includes/classes.php on line 211″.
I can get rid of the warning by switching back and forth between default and nice permalinks, but whenever I switch back to nice permalinks and then edit ANY page at all, I end up with the page showing up as the Now Reading “Book in Library” page and the error message on top of my home page, and nothing showing up of my pages at all.
]]>Hi, I’ve got Now Reading Reloaded installed on in WP multi-site setup where the wp-content directory is located on a different sub-domain.
e.g. site is located at https://xxx.com and plugins etc. located at https://yyy.xxx.com
The admin panels (specifically the options panel) doesn’t appear to work (save settings) when the wp-content directory is in a non standard location.
Presumable some of the locations in the plugin code are wrong.
Thoughts/options/help greatly appreciated.

]]>Hi, how can I make the books-list look like : https://www.terisagreen.com/books/. I refer to the different line.
My second question is how I divide the books into several pages with navigation.
Thanks
]]>Hi,
maybe it is a solution for everyone who administrate their books in software like book hunter.
1. Export your local bookshelf in xml and
2. Import this xml-file in the Now Reading database.
This would be fine.

]]>I just installed. Only one of the four books’ images shows up.
When you click on the book on the sidebar, you go to the library. Looks awful and I’m not sure how to code it. I read that I’m supposed to fix the template, but I didn’t realize it would not only look odd (which I could live with), but the whole page lays out funny… Not inviting or “salesworthy” at all.
Also, the link to Amazon does not open in a new window.
It would be nice if I could select to have the sub heads (now reading, going to read, finished, show library) show or not. I would be happy with no sub-heads and all the links go to amazon in a new tab right away.
Thanks.

]]>I use Afterburner template from Rocket theme, its a 3 column template for the front page (https://www.willnolan.net) and two for the other pages (https://willnolan.net/?page_id=2) , I want the library to show up in the right hand white area.
My coding background is minimal but i think i need to take the general page template (page.php)from after burner theme and copy that into the template from the plugin for the library ( now-reading-reloaded/templates/library.php) . Then extract some of the library code from the previous (now-reading-reloaded/templates/library.php) and place in the middle, i just don’t know what to extract and where to place it in the template. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
