Troubleshooting MyBookProgress
One thing to check is to make sure you are using the most updated version of the base MyBookProgress plugin (you can check to see if updates are available by going in your website dashboard menu to Plugins > MyBookProgress. If an update is available, there will be a notation to that effect next to the plugin’s name). If you’re having problems getting your Mailchimp API key to validate: Remember also to try clicking the little refresh button immediately to the right of the API key box after you’ve pasted your Mailchimp API key. That button “tests” the API key to see if …

customer suggestions
Hello Lisa, Thank you for your quick reply; I am very satisfied with the product, and was aware of some Amazon data issue (from Support Forums) before I purchased the product. The product is great, and I think the only one in the market that does what it promise. Yet thank you for the offer for a refund. However, I am trying to brain storm regarding a way to workaround the AWS limitations, by sending you the links in hopes the developers of the plugin can take a look into it, and derive some ideas. There is another page I saw …

Customer’s response to AWS – very helpful – keep for later
Hello Lisa, I’m pasting my email again below to restate our concerns. Thank you for your consideration. After talking to some of my clients who use MyBookTable, I wanted to follow back up on this issue. Sarah Mackenzie of Read-Aloud Revival (https://readaloudrevival.com/) has over 2,300 books created via MBT import. Leslie Rutland of Learning Through Literature (https://www.learningthroughliterature.com/) has almost 1,000 books created via MBT import. They are still using the Import function almost daily. Their sites are built around the MyBookTable features and the import feature is critical to their workflow. On their behalf, I would request that the import …

Tim’s answer with AWS issues
My name is Tim Zook, I am the lead developer for MyBookTable and I should be able to answer any questions you have about the technical workings of the plugin. AWS has relatively recently tightened the restrictions they have about rate limiting, the MyBookTable plugin is equipped to properly rate limit the requests submitted to AWS in the way that they want, but you will want to be sure that you are using the most recent version of your MyBookTable Upgrade plugin to be sure this is being done properly. Unless I am mistaken you own the MyBookTable Pro Upgrade …

GeniusLink
The way GeniusLink works through MBT is this: In the Earn section of the MBT settings, all you need to do is input your affiliate keys, from there GeniusLink does the rest of the work. GeniusLink is designed to prevent “geo-fragmentation” (the confusion which happens when a user in a different country clicks on a localized link for your country). And the best part is, GeniusLink allows you to keep your affiliate revenue regardless of the country your buyers are from, by using GeoRiot (which is why you see georiot in your URL instead of your affiliate code. You are still receiving …

Can you go to your individual book page and go down to the buy buttons. If your scroll to the very bottom that has the universal buy button. See screenshot. It should work. If it doesn’t work, you may have too many MyBooktable plugins open. Check your plugins and make sure only the orgininal MyBookTable and your latest upgrade are active.

shortcode functionality limitations
My name is Tim Zook, I’m the lead developer for MyBookTable. Unfortunately the MyBookTable shortcodes don’t currently support complex queries like the ones you’re looking for, partly because it would be challenging to create an easy-to-use interface for our Shortcode Inserter functionality, and we like to keep all of our shortcode functionality accessible through that interface if possible. However I will make a note of this and will look into possibly implementing this in a future version of MyBookTable as an advanced feature that’s not available through the Shortcode Inserter interface. Thanks for your feedback on this! ~Tim

Grid view pagination randomizes
This is a common issue with MBT grid view, possibly some discrepancy cached old versions and recent updates to the plugin. One solution which is proven to keep the books in order, while being sorted by Post Title, is to go into: MyBookTable > Books > Sort Books Once there, change “Sort by :Post Title” to “Sort by: Author”. Save, then switch it back to Post Title. After that, it should display in order again.
Series Page Description Duplicating in Meta Description
There’s no real direct fix for making sure a series description doesn’t duplicate into the meta description. There is one thing you can try though. MBT automatically programs it’s own SEO for your books, but there is a setting which can turn that option off. If you haven’t already tried this, go to: MyBookTable > settings > promote it will be the first check box on screen. It says, “Use MyBookTable’s built-in SEO features”. Deactivating that could fix your problem.
