Thanks for your insights and posts on this forum. Definitely helpful, because we’re running into the exact same problems.

Just out of curiosity, have you found a replacement plugin for comments that IS working for you?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Twurtz13,

Hi Greg,
Have you tried uploading versions of your images that are smaller in size?

It looks to me like the images you’re uploading are quite large (this one, for example: https://realestateradioshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Laugh-yourway-to-real-estate-sales-success-guest-interview-on-Real-estate-radio-show-podcast.jpg )

Uploading them as a smaller size may help with this issue. I’d suggest you try an image width not larger than 250px, and see if that resolves the broken display.

If that doesn’t work, let us know!

Cheering you on,

PeterH1,

One more note on this, it looks like you’re using a Yoast SEO plugin on your site, and that may help you with this issue without requiring manual edits to your theme files.

Here’s a tutorial video on Yoast and your Google rich snippet authorship settings.

Hi PeterH1,
Thanks so much for checking in about this.

Regarding your Hatom data errors, are you seeing these just for the Books Archive page, or for other pages on your site as well?

When I run your home page through the Google Rich Snippets tool, I get the same error, so I believe this is an issue with your web site theme, rather than with our plugin.

The steps in this post should help you with a fix:

I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in!

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for reaching out. Do you have a link to your site, so we can see what you’re seeing?
Also, are you trying to create a sidebar widget? Or an entire Books section on your site itself? Or both?

Let us know, and we’ll be glad to help where we can!

Hi Kevin,
If you’re looking for a plugin that links exclusively to Amazon, which would save you the trouble of having to recode parts our plugin just to do what you want to do, you could try this one! Amazon Product in a Post Plugin
Hope this helps.

Hi LittleClue,
Thanks for your posts and questions. What WordPress theme are you using? If you can share a link to your site, we’ll take a look and see what we can do to help!

Hi Pennamiriel,
Thanks for your question. Sounds like some CSS margin/padding additions in your theme may help you with some of these issues.

Is the site still private? If it’s live now, and you can post a link here I’d be glad to take a look and help however I can.

Hi Yael,
The Buy Now button should show up automatically on your Books page, once you insert the purchase links in the TotallyBooked back end area on your WordPress dashboard.

Have you entered your purchase links, and made sure they’re correct?

If you can post a link to your book page, I’ll be glad to take a look for you, and help any way I can!

Cheering you on,

Doobie,
Huzzah! I’m so glad to hear you conquered it!

Cheering you on,

Hi Doobie,
Where did you make the change to your CSS?

When I look at the code on your page, here’s what I see:

.tb_book .book_cover {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #f6f6f6;
    border-radius: 5px;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    padding: 2%;
    width: 25%;
}

So there’s still a hex code specified there (#f6f6f6) that’s adding the color to the background.

I hope this helps!

Russell,

Huzzah! I’m so pleased that worked for you. As for the Buy Now buttons, it looks like you’ve bypassed the one we offer, so you can do direct links to a special retailer, is that correct?

If so, rather than the Buy Now text links you’re using, you might want to consider developing a button of your own, something that looks similar to ours in a color of your choice.

To avoid mucking around in a ton of code, you could use something easy like a button builder: https://do-web.com/jbutton/generator, then build a red button with “Buy Now” text on it.

From there, you could upload the Buy Now image to each post, and link it to the appropriate purchase link for each book.

It’s a workaround, but it’d get the job done.

I hope this helps.

Cheering you on,
Kelli

Hi Russell,
Your Books section is really shaping up!

The “Website Archives” title is showing up because your web site theme is programmed to display that. But since this is a ThemeForest theme (this is your theme, correct? LawBusiness Theme) and paid theme support is part of your purchase there, I’d recommend that you contact them using their support form here: https://cmsmasters.net/support/.

When you do, tell them you’d like to know how you can edit your theme, so that the “Website Archives” title is removed, and so that the “Book Archives” title is renamed to just “Books”. They should be able to easily guide you on how to do that.

Meanwhile, regarding your text/overlap question, I can absolutely suggest a fix!

If you have access to a FTP program and some code editing experience: Find the totally-booked.css file in the Totally Booked/Assets/CSS folder.

Look for this line:

.tb_book .post_thumbnail {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
    width: 150px;
}

and change it to:

.tb_book .post_thumbnail {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 40px 20px 0;
    width: 150px;
}

If you don’t have access to an FTP program, your web site manager should be able to do this for you easily.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cheering you on,
Kelli
