What Would You Like To Do?
Before We Begin
- Admin Dashboard, on the left navigation you will see Pages and click on that option.
- Find the page called Books and select the page. Depending on the project, your books may have been split into series pages or all listed on a single Book page.
- If your blue bars are collapsed, find the section Books or the name of the series. Depending on the project your books may be split into different sections. Therefore, you may need to find the particular series section. The series sections will be named after one of your book series.
View the image below, and your Book page may look similar. Depending on your project and the books and series, you may have more or less series sections.
Each blue bar is a different section:
- Page Title
- Shameless Hearts
- Mafia Romances
- Wicked Ever After
Obviously the last 3 sections are the different book series, and at the moment, in the image above they are collapsed sections. That’s okay. You can easily extend them and collapse them back. If yours are extended you will know instantly because you won’t see only blue bars.
For this section keep all your sections closed by simply clicking on the ⮝ arrow to close it. Try it out for yourself.
Create a new series section
You can use any existing blue bar and click on this icon. It doesn’t which blue bar you choose to duplicate because we are going to rename, change and reposition the section.
You will notice that your duplicated section appears immediately below the original section.
Change the name of the duplicated section, so you don’t mix it up with the original.
- Hover over the title of the duplicated section and click on it.
- Once you do that, you will be able to edit the title.
Now, once you are done editing the title, click on the ⮟ arrow to expand that section.
Within this new section you will see the book covers from the original series.
- How many books do you have?
- Do you need all those book columns?
- Do you need more columns?
Figure that out, before you move forward.

What would you like to do next?
- Delete a book column.

- Edit button URL’s.
- Rearrange book covers.
- Add a book cover.
- View Website Changes/Updates.
Delete a Book Element
When your section is expanded, you should see columns and within them, image elements. View the image below. Depending on your project, you may have have buttons underneath the image element.
For our web design, 3 columns per row = 3 books per row. You may have many more rows of books and that’s okay.
As you can see on the above image, there are 3 columns and within those columns are image elements. Like I stated above, you may even have buttons within your columns. To remove an entire column you would delete everything within that column: images and buttons etc
Choose a column you want to delete and click on the icon.
If all you had within that section was 3 books, than where that column once was, it would be empty. You would only see 2 columns. Let’s say you had more rows of books, a bottom column would simply take the place of the one you deleted.
Don’t forget to Update the page.
