Best of the best

After trying out nearly every WordPress library plugin, I found this gem. This plugin has everything you could ever need and more to organize and maintain your library on your WordPress site. I cannot recommend this plugin enough!

Excellent Plugin for Book Lovers and Showcases
by banglabook·2 months ago
Thank you for creating WP Books Gallery. It is one of the cleanest and most visually appealing book showcase plugins I have seen for WordPress. I am using the free version on my site, and the grid, slider, filter, and author-related features look perfect for what I want to build
Just a trial program

Nothing more than a limited-function trial program.

Ok plug-in but several limitations and incomplete documentation.
by Earl_D·2 months ago·5 replies
I have used and purchased several WP book plugins. The HM Book Gallery plug-in is ok but it has several limitations than cannot be addressed without pro version. But if even purchase pro it removes features if not renewed instead of just restricting updates. Also the documentation particularly shortcodes is incomplete. After using for several years I am looking for a more complete alternative.
