Awesome, glad that worked! Now as far as the Searching & Filtering goes, that is an issue that will be fixed in the 6.0.1 release – but I’ve actually got that particular issue already taken care of, if you want to download the next version a bit early and check it out – get it at http://jakerevans.com/wpbooklist.zip – just delete your current install and install this one. Also, btw, if you end up really liking WPBookList (especially this new version 6.0.0+), you can always throw a review my way at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/wpbooklist/reviews/?filter=5!

Well, since you’re already digging around in the database, in the ‘wpbooklist_jre_users_table’ table, there should be a column titled ‘role’ and a column titled ‘permissions’ – for the role column, enter ‘SuperAdmin’, and for the ‘Permissions’ column, enter this string: ‘Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes’ – that should give you access to everything. These values are supposed to be set when a user installs or updates WPBookList (the user that installs or updates the plugin gets the ‘SuperAdmin’ role – and there can only be one WPBookList ‘SuperAdmin’), but it’s a brand-new feature in version 6.0.0, so there are still a couple bugs. The intention is to allow website owners to let other individuals log in and add books to/manage their own libraries, while restricting their access to anything but WPBookList. Can you tell me what those values in your database are, before you change them please?

You shouldn’t lose any of your books actually, but I would recommend heading to the ‘Backups’ tab on the ‘Settings’ page of the WPBookList Menu, and making a backup of your Libraries, (and downloading the file with the link provided), and/or making a CSV file of the ISBN numbers in your libraries (and downloading the file with the link provided). Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] and I’ll see about getting you a premium extension that you can use to upload that list of ISBN numbers if needed to your site.

Hi there Astroruss,

Sorry for the MIA – I’ve been heads-down knocking out stuff for version 6.0.0, as well as working on some of my main freelance projects that pay the majority of the bills! Can you send me those e-mails again, and/or just refresh my mind as to the issue here in the forums? Thanks!

@jdembowski, Yes, I’m trying to connect with the user outside of these WordPress forums to then follow-up with their support question, which in this case sounds like it would require me personally to take a look at their site – I definitely didn’t want to ask for any personal info of the user’s here on the forums, as obviously this is a pretty public space for potentially sensitive info like that… when someone here on the forums contacts me and wants me to personally look at their issue, to include logging into their site if need be, what should my official response be so as to not get flagged or whatnot – should I simply post something like, “For support with purchased WPBookList products, please visit wpbooklist.com or e-mail [email protected]. Commercial product support is not allowed in these forums.” and then close the topic and leave it at that? I ask not only because I want to do this right with WPBookList, but I’m working on another plugin that will have commercial addons like WPBookList does as well, so I want to make sure I know exactly what to do and not do for the future.

Thanks for clarifying!

Hi there,

Firstly, thanks for your purchase!

So it sounds like this might be a caching issue – can you try clearing your browser cache, and then seeing if things look different? You might also try checking out your site with a browser that you know you’ve never used before, and seeing if there’s a difference.

Also, sometimes people think that a StylePak will change the look and feel of a book’s “Book View” (the popup window one sees when clicking on a book, when actually StylePaks only change the look and feel of the “Library View” (The view with multiple books that one sees before clicking on an individual title).

If you’re still having trouble, please shoot me an e-mail to [email protected], and I’ll take a look.

Thanks!
