Data Migration<\/h3>\n
While there are several new features and improves you\u2019ll see in version 3.0, the biggest change has been under the hood. They way your book data has been saved has completely changed in version 3.0.<\/p>\n
So when you update to version 3.0, you\u2019ll see a notice about migrating your data. This is important.<\/strong> Mooberry Book Manager version 3.0 will not work properly until you have migrated your data. You’ll see this notice:<\/p>\n All you have to do is click the \u201cMigrate Data\u201d button and Mooberry Book Manager will take care of the rest. Once the data has been migrated, the notice will go away and Mooberry Book Manager version 3.0 will be ready to go!<\/p>\n If you experience any problems during the migration, don\u2019t panic<\/strong>. First, Mooberry Book Manager doesn\u2019t delete any data, so you have lost nothing. If there is an error, Mooberry Book Manager will tell you the exact error. Select the text of the error and paste it into an email to bookmanager@mooberrydreams.com along with your website URL and we\u2019ll help you out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Changes to the way the Mooberry Book Manager stores your book data have allowed the Book Grids to become more complex. You can now group books by illustrator, cover artist, editor, and publisher in addition to the already existing choices. However, grouping by more than 5 levels in a single grid is not recommend because the page may time out.<\/p>\n There are also more book selection options for grids, including illustrators, cover artists, editors, and publishers.<\/p>\n Some of the new options:<\/p>\n The auto-generated Book Grids are now called Taxonomy Grids, and there have been several improvements with them:<\/p>\n There have been some interface updates to the Book Edit page. Some of the boxes have been re-arranged for better visibility and workflow, placing the more important\/common information towards the top and the less common pieces towards the bottom. The boxes can still be re-arranged to your liking. You may not notice a re-arrangement in Version 3.0 because WordPress has already saved your current arrangement. If you\u2019d like to reset the arrangement of the boxes to the default, you can do that on the Book Page Settings page.<\/p>\n The Editions & Formats box now defaults to closed. This data is something that will probably not be used by most authors, and it was very intimidating looking.<\/p>\n The elements that can have multiple items (Reviews, Editions & Formats, Retailer Links, and Download Links) can now be re-ordered. There are move up (up arrow) and move down (down arrow) buttons on each items.<\/p>\n Retailer Links with new “Up\/Down” buttons for re-ordering<\/p><\/div>\n On the Book Display page that your reader sees, there have been a few updates:<\/p>\n The Settings page has been expanded and re-organized.<\/p>\n Mooberry Book Manager\u2019s Settings page is now it\u2019s own menu in the Dashboard instead of a item in the Settings menu. What used to be tabs have now become individual pages in the Mooberry Book Manager Settings menu.<\/p>\n These settings apply to more than one part of Mooberry Book Manager. All of the settings on this page are new.<\/p>\n These settings apply to the either the Book Page Edit screen or the Book Page Display that the reader sees. Most of the settings are the same that were on the general settings page in version 2, but there are a couple new ones.<\/p>\n These settings apply to both Book Grids that you can create and Taxonomy Book Grids.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.yourwebsite.com\/genre\/romance<\/p>\n The settings in this section will allow you to change the \u201cgenre\u201d in that URL. For example, if you change the setting to book-category, the new URL would be:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.yourwebsite.com\/book-category\/romance<\/p>\n There is a list of reserved words in WordPress that you may not use as part of your URL. You can see a list of these words by clicking the link on the Settings Page.<\/p>\n These pages are exactly the same as they are in version 2, except they each have their own page now instead of being on tabs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"migrate-notice\"](\"https:\/\/www.mooberrydreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/migrate-notice-1-1024x92.png\")

\nNew settings here are the Taxonomy Book Grid URL Settings<\/strong>. These settings allow you to choose the slug used in the URL for the Taxonomy Book Grids (the grids that are auto-generated for a single genre, series, etc.). For example, by default, Mooberry Book Manager will display a Book Grid of all books in the romance genre with the following URL:<\/p>\nPublishers, Retailers, Formats, and Editions<\/h4>\n
