Author Pro Theme

[renwil]

First, let me say this is the theme I have been waiting for! I LOVE it! I'm already using it for one of my clients. I do have a question though. My client has written over 100 books in 15 series. I want to have a page for the series, with one book as a representative of each series and when you click on that book, it takes you to the page that shows each book in the series.

How can this be done?

Thanks,

it is a custom work. You need to create a separate page template file and write a custom WP_Query in that template file. Then you will get it.

Renee - I am dying to get my grubby hands on the Author theme and go crazy! It's so beautiful. Good luck! I can't want to see your finished product. 🙂

Thanks, the page template worked perfectly! Another question, and I'm sorry if I missed this in the tutorial. But how do I change the info in the banner that shows up across the corner of the book.

Also, if I change the size of the header will it move the navigation menu below the header? Is there a way to put social media icons (such as using Simple Social) in the header?

Thanks again,

Renee

I think that you are wanting to remove the blue ribbon from cover. Replace the existing function by this one

//* Showing Book's cover
function genesis_author_pro_series_cover() {
  global $series_data;
  
	if ( $image = genesis_get_image( 'format=url&size=author-pro-image' ) ) {

		printf( '<div class="author-pro-featured-image"><a href="%s" rel="bookmark"><img src="%s" alt="%s" /></a></div>', get_term_link($series_data), $image, the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );

	}

}

No, I don't want to remove the blue banner from the covers. I got the answer to that one by just doing a little reading! LOL

I do still have the following question, plus a couple more:

If I change the size of the header will it move the navigation menu below the header?

Is there a way to put social media icons (such as using Simple Social) in the header?

Anyone know how to remove these blue sashes from the book covers? I see in the Demo one bok cover had a sash saying award winning on it. I don;t see anywhere how to add or remove these. I haven't added it intentionally and the sashes on my books are thick containing lots of text. I can't let the blog go live like this.

If you don't want anything in the blue sash, don't put anything in the featured text section when you add a new book. If nothing is there, the sash won't show.
