    Thanks for helping me out. The new design looked great and the solution too.
    Too bad we found out why it doesn’t work properly: me using template (book rev lite) In order to use this plugin I would need to delete their review design, since it is the same code but with a different design. So I chose to stay with the template. And hope they/you will add any new features from this plugin in the template review-part too!

    I will e-mail you some tips on how to improve on it and hope you guys – if you decide to use those – will implement the same tips in both separate plugin and the review part in the template.

    Thanks, this was good service.

    I will e-mail you. Although little scared it will make my site a mess again, if I update. But I will and if the problem persists I will make some screenshots.

    Also: the comment on the no-follow: scratch that. I have heard from one of your other designers that while you won’t see this as an option in the back-end it is automatically in the plugin code. So that’s great.

    That’s awesome Marius!
    Don’t need to check then. But it saves me some coding ;-).

    Hi Marius,

    Sorry to open up an older post, but I just posted in my review that I was surprised there was no ‘no follow’ option in the wrapup for affiliate links. Am I to understand that while I do not see it in the links themselves this is automatically coded and I do not need to worry about my page ranking? Or do I still need to redirect some links. Many people online are acting a little panicky about this, so that’s why I’m asking ??

    Or do I need to add some code in the login just like Dave did. I did not link affiliates to my images by the way. I only filled in the link with my id in the appropriate box.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    Kind regards, Kalo

    Hi Richard, I followed the user guide and in there it says to use add new by clicking Cookie Law/Add New.
    However, I already concluded that I perhaps could solve the problem by using page from the dashboard after I talked to someone with the exact same problem. He solved it like that, after he had followed that user guide and encountered the same error.

    Anyway, I just wanted to make one when I read your e-mail, so that was excellent timing and thank you very much for posting this solution. I would advise you to post this one in your frequently asked questions or user guide so that nobody else will ask you the same. Saves you a lot of time.

    Everything is working perfectly now and I can tell you that one of the main Facebook wordpress support pages in the Netherlands recommends your plug-in as one that is user-friendly for both designer and website visitor.

    Best regards,
    Kalo

    Hi Alexandra,

    I understand that some of them (when I ask: how can I adjust to x, y or Z), but most of them actually *are* bugs.

    1. On home, for the highlight of the day the page keeps showing an empty default title underneath the reviews I have already made as test. Why? Is there a minimum requirement?

    3. For some weird reason I don’t get to see the headers for either latest reviews or highlight of the day. The names for Tag cloud, archive and calendar and search do show. Really weird.

    4. I have the plugin/widget top products, but the grades are not lining up neatly. They show under the title instead of next to it or sometimes even a little underneath the actual widget under the line.

    5. Also, when I open up one of the categories to show all those specific reviews the entire right side is a complete mess with tags being overlaid on top of other widgets.

    6. Comments are still disabled in some places and not in others. It seems normal that when I enable you should be able to comment everywhere and vice versa.

    So, I will figure out any code I want to adapt myself, but the problem is that some things in the template aren’t working properly. Especially 3, 4 and 5.

    I hope now that I have removed the ‘how can I adjust’, you are able to help me.

    Thanks!
    Best, Kalo

    Oh, I actually forgot to add number 7. For some posts I have two categories. Say I have a book review, then it will be in both category books and in review (since I will also announce upcoming books and that will get category books and news).

    But having done that, it looks really weird under the title of the review:
    DECKS , REVIEW

    And when it comes to the Latest Article Carroussel/Block it looks even weirder: you have that colored block with the title of the last review and then you see this:

    BOOK TITLE
    BOOKS
    ,

    REVIEW
    date

    i would, as you might expect, very much like to get rid of all that white space and have DECK, REVIEW (or perhaps DECK/REVIEW)
    And in the block:
    BOOKS,
    REVIEW and preferably next to each other.

    I use double categories because there is a difference, but also because I have a menu with books and a menu with news and they need to be separate, even though I sometimes have news about books. This goes for my other reviews (or news) about artwork too. But I still want to show *all* reviews in the slider and not just books or artwork or news. Hence the double links.
    Sorry I can’t provide you with a link yet. Building offline.

    It seems like I am not happy with it, but I think your theme is awesome. Such a clean, great template. I just have some specific quirks ;-).

    Hi Alexandra,

    I figured out some things but not all of them:

    1. On home, for the highlight of the day the page keeps showing an empty default title underneath the reviews I have already made as test. Doesn’t matter how many I add. Don’t know how to get rid of that. Also: would maybe prefer to keep highlights to just one book or max 3. Where do I adjust that?

    2. I guess seeing all featured reviews in a certain category is a pro-thing, because I still can’t link my category book to my menu book (I have solved the issue with top bar and primary header). I can only type one text there, but that is it for the menu content.

    3. For some weird reason I don’t get to see the headers for either latest reviews or highlight of the day. Like you can see in your demo the highlight of the day block is called Product reviews. Mine is called highlights, but you don’t see that. The names for Tag cloud, archive and calendar and search do show. Really weird.

    4. I have the plugin/widget top products, but the grades are not lining up neatly. They show under the title instead of next to it or sometimes even a little underneath the actual widget under the line (I placed this widget on the right side of the page).

    5. Also, when I open up one of the categories to show all those specific reviews the entire right side is a complete mess with tags being overlaid on top of other widgets. I have not adjusted any css settings yet since I have not figured out yet what is what.

    6. Comments are still disabled in some places and not in others. How to adjust? I basically only want comments for the specific reviews to get some interaction.

    Sorry for the long list. I love the template, but there are a few things I keep running into.

    Thanks so much for your help!
    Best regards,

    Ok, with the highlight I have been able to get the images now, I see where I went wrong. And perhaps with latest reviews it is only text. But the rest still stands ??
