    Hi All

    I'd like to make some changes to the plugin to integrate it better into my site.
    Could anyone point me in the right direction?

    - change URL of http://www.tasteoftango.co.uk/books/ to http://www.tasteoftango.co.uk/tastes/

    -customise the right hand column fields in each page; Publisher, Editor, Available, ISBN etc and perhaps add or remove fields.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Customizing a plugin, any plugin, is a lot of work. You basically have to make a copy of the plugin, rename it, and modify it to make your own custom version. If you customize a plugin without renaming it, the next time there is an update, all of your customizations will be lost.

    The Genesis Author Pro plugin has 5 templates that you could copy into your child theme directory and possibly modify them to provide some of the functionality you want. Other than that, unless you're a highly skilled PHP developer, or have the budget to pay a skilled developer, there's not a lot you can do to customize the plugin the way you want. When I say budget, it could easily cost you upwards of $2,000USD for someone to spend the time modifying the plugin. It's not the kind of help you'll be able to get from a community volunteer based forum.

    You can't modify the default functionality of a plugin unless it includes filters which can be used in a child theme.
