Genevieve Graham (goodreadscomgenevievegraham) | 2 comments how do I remove a book trailer/video from a page?


message 2: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments You need to edit your author profile, there should be a link "Videos" under your picture - from there select the video you want to remove by clicking the link,

Then there is an edit video link (top right hand side) select the edit link

At the bottom of the page is a delete link

Thank you so much.

Ellen Benefield | 15 comments I cannot find a delete video button--only an add video. I have already deleted them on youtube except for the two I've decided to keep--taken as a series they make a gag reel which is funny but one or two out of context next to the book does not work-- so I want to remove them ASAP.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Since you've deleted them from youtube I went ahead and removed them from Goodreads. A small note, if you go to this page you have to click on the title of the video. On the next page there should be an "edit video" link somewhere. Then you can delete it.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Huh, you're right. My HTML is fine too. Well here's the link I'm talking about: www.goodreads.com/videos/list_author/...

Ellen Benefield | 15 comments That worked, thanks again. I'm reading" Goodreads for Authors" but sometimes I think I need "Goodreads for the technically challenged." Sounds better than "DUMMY" or "IDIOT" doesn't it?


message 10: by Ellen (new)

Ellen Benefield | 15 comments I have also changed the cover on "Kiss Of The Dragonhunter" on Amazon.com and there is only one addition of it. I don't know how I ended up with two. Do I need to send you the cover for you to change it? thanks, Ellen

(For unrelated questions, it's best to start a new thread.)

I made the new edition into an alternate cover edition for your book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85.... However, as the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Ellen Benefield | 15 comments (I keep putting the new cover as the edition to show and it keeps changing back to the original.)

Try this, it might be different:

click here:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/16...

On the right side of the page about halfway down, click "Set this book as the primary edition for this work".

Click "Save Changes"

message 16: by Ellen (new)

Ellen Benefield | 15 comments I tried combing the issues and the wrong cover came out on top. I paid for an updated 3D cover of this book and I want that one to show, thanks, Ellen

Do you want the the dragon or the one with the red line to be visible/primary?

EDIT: you are talking about a different book now, aren't you? Which one do you want as default?

Lobstergirl Is this the right place to post video delete requests? #18 is still there.
