    Sorry to bother you again Josh, I cant get the image of the book to be displayed on the page itself. It works fine in the settings. Do you think you can give me a hint? Thank you! :)

  • Great plugin! Love it! Exactly what I need. Cheers! Monica
  • I would like to remove the "by (author)" and just have the name of the book linked to the link. As well as edit the font to match my website. I don't really know how to do this...
