Installation Instructions
This plugin follows the standard WordPress installation
method:
- Upload the
librarything-unleashed
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- You can now use the widget and the
[books]
shortcode
Optionally, if you want to show book details in single book pages or use
the [book]
shortcode, you will need the following:
- Go to the Amazon AWS security credentails management page
and create a new key/secret pair
- Enter the pair on the plugin’s options page
- Choose or create a new page to support displaying single books
- Save the options
- You can now use the
[book]
shortcode and are hosting single book pages
instead of sending visitors to LibraryThing
Also, if you have your own LibraryThing API key you can use it by adding the
following line in your wp-config.php
file:
define('LIBRARYTHING_API_KEY', 'your key here');
This is optional, by default the plugin does not use any key. To find your
LibraryThing API key check this page.
