Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Reading List

After activating the plugin, publish a reading list item or two under the "Works" tab in the WordPress admin menu and then navigate to "mydomain.com/reading-list/" (or to "mydomain.com/?post_type=works" if you are using the "default" permalink structure. Adding the "/reading-list/" or "/?post_type=works"to your site's base url directs users to your reading list items. You can then add this url to your custom menu to make it easier for users to get to.

If this is the case, simply go to "Settings" and then "Permalinks" and hit save (you do not have to change any settings). This refreshes your website's rewrite rules and now "mydomain.com/reading-list/" or "mydomain.com/?post_type=works" should work. Otherwise, make sure you have at least one published reading list item.

If you deactivate or delete the plugin, you will not lose the content you have created but you will lose your plugin settings.

At this point, the plugin does not support widgets or sidebars in its templates due to difficulty organizing the lists due to the unpredictability of widget/sidebar sizes.

There are several options available in the WP Reading List admin settings to help the reading list layouts fit smoothly into any existing theme. In addition, the templates have been highly detailed in terms of extra id's and classes for easy customization via CSS. Many themes have a "Custom CSS" tab built into the admin menu where you can add your changes. Otherwise, you can always place your modifications within the "style.css" file of your parent or child theme.

There are two options: 1) You can use the settings in the admin panel and use the file uploader there. 2) You can use a file manager and go to "wp-content/plugins/wp-reading-list/wprl-theme/" and replace the "default.png" image with your image of the same name. It is recommended that you choose a default image with a 3:4 aspect ratio (width:height) to match the other cover images.

Yes. Think of "works" as specialized "posts" and similarly of "authors" & "types" as different kinds of "tags". The "Reading List" and "Reading List Items" is a phrase which tries to include all kinds of reading materials such as books, magazines, articles, etc.

The WP Reading List shortcode embeds a list of items on a page or sidebar widget according to both the plugin settings in the admin panel and the parameters passed to the shortcode. The format is: [wprl layout="plain" number="10"]. At this time, the only format available is "plain" but you can specify any number for the number of works displayed. (*Note, -1 returns all works.)
