Nice Book review
by capbussat·3 years ago·1 reply
<p>Gives a nice simple book review with a simple image.<br />Also, I find it is a very useful example to learn to code blocks for WordPress. <br />I am testing in Worpress 6.1.1, as far as I know it works correctly.<br />Thanks a lot!</p>

Great plugin

I tried other plugins and this one is the best for creating book review posts. Makes it easy to leave a nice looking book review. The latest version has some new features that make it even better.
Major Downgrade

I couldn’t get this one to work. It was glitchy and most of the options I wanted were in the previous version. I thought I would see an improvement on this one but turned out to be a major disappointment.
Downgrade from Book Review plugin
by kpossibles·5 years ago·1 reply
There’s no option for custom fields or an option to show the headings of the section like Title: ABC or Author: ABC, it just shows the name.
I just want the Book Review plugin to not show after the Read More section in Gutenberg, which is why I tried this one. It seriously is a major downgrade from the previous plugin by this creator with only like 10% of the original options.
