Hi,

I’m using the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin (https://creativewhim.com/shop/ultimate-book-blogger-plugin/) to organize book reviews. I noticed it wasn’t working properly, so I sent the author of the plugin this email:

Hi,

I have a question about the link to the authors on an individual review post page. For instance, on one of the posts I’m working on if you click on “Kevin DeYoung”, it takes you to a blank page with just the name at the top.

http://www.brianhammonds.com/2014/01/14/book-notes-just-do-something-by-kevin-deyoung/

I’m not sure if the author is supposed to be the person writing the review or the person who wrote the book. If it’s the author of the book, is the link supposed to lead somewhere else? I’ve noticed the same dynamic for the publisher (“Moody Publishers”) on that same post page.

Her reply was that it was a problem with the theme. Here’s what she said:

Unfortunately this is a problem with your theme. It’s called a taxonomy archive. It’s up to your theme developer to style taxonomy archives appropriately, by listing the posts associated with that taxonomy. But it looks like your theme has failed to do this correctly.

Is there any way for the taxonomy archive to be changed to allow this to function the way it’s designed? Thanks for your help.

I will make some tests on this issue and try to realize what causes the problem. I let you know when I come up with a solution. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for looking into it!

Any luck looking into the taxonomy archive?

[brianhammonds]

I don’t know if there’s been any progress made on the taxonomy archive…any news?

[Mehmet S.]

I see the issue, I will fix it with an update soon. Thanks for the feedback.

[brianhammonds]

I’m glad you see the issue…any news? Thanks!

What kind of information should be there when clicking that link you want for that plugin?

[brianhammonds]

When the author’s name is clicked (for instance, “Kevin DeYoung” on this page: http://www.brianhammonds.com/2014/01/14/book-notes-just-do-something-by-kevin-deyoung/), the taxonomy archive should function to point to all book reviews for books by Kevin DeYoung. However, it simply brings up a page showing the name “Kevin DeYoung”.

For an example of how it should work, see this other blog that also uses this plugin where it functions properly: http://cuddlebuggery.com/blog/2011/10/10/review-twilight/

If in this example you click on the author’s name (“Stephenie Meyer”) it takes you to all the book reviews for books by Stephenie Meyer.

I’m not exactly sure of the problem. Any idea how to fix that? Thanks for your attention…

New version is available on ThemeForest.
