No coding is necessary to use Mooberry Book Manager. Adding books is as easy as filling out a form. Include as much or as little information as you want, including the book cover, links to purchase the book, reviews of the book, an excerpt, and more. Mooberry Book Manager will create a page for each book, ensuring a consistent look on all of your pages. Organize your book into grids with just a few clicks. Grids can include all of your books or a selection of books, and you choose how they are ordered. You can create multiple grids; for example, an "Available Now" page and a "Coming Soon" page. Grids update automatically when you edit or add books. Set it and forget it!

Upload the entire `mooberry-book-manager` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Will Mooberry Book Manager work with my theme? = Mooberry Book Manager has been designed to be theme-independent and should work for most themes. However, as there are infinite possibilities when developing themes and little required standardization, so some themes may not work as expected with the plugin. If Mooberry Book Manager isn’t working for your theme, [contact us](http://www.mooberrydreams.com/contact/) and we’ll see if we can help. We have found issues when using Mooberry Book Manager with the Customizr theme. These issues should be resolved with v1.1. = What’s the difference between Download Links and Retailer Links? = Download Links should be used when you are allowing readers to download the book for free. Retailer Links are used when you are linking to website for readers to purchase your book. A single book most likely won’t have both Download Links and Retailer Links, unless your book is listed for free at retailers and you are also allowing readers to download the ebooks directly from your website. = What link do I use for download links? How will my readers download the files? = Your ebook files will need to be uploaded somewhere. You have a few options: 1. Upload to a public storage website such as Dropbox. 2. Upload directly to your website via FTP. 3. Upload to your website via Wordpress' Media Libary. **Note:** Wordpress does not allow you to upload .epub and .mobi files. You'll need to compress them into .zip files before uploading. The link you enter on the book page should point directly to the file to download. = Additonal questions? = Download the [User Manual](http://www.mooberrydreams.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Mooberry-Book-Manager-User-Manual-v1.0.pdf) (PDF format) == Screenshots == 1.
