FlippingBook Business

Embed prepared flipbooks in WordPress

FlippingBook Business is the plan from which the FlippingBook WordPress Plugin is available. The add-on embeds interactive HTML5 flipbooks created with FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook Publisher in WordPress posts and pages. Use it for digital magazines, brochures, catalogs, and other PDF-based publications.

Create and personalize the flipbook in FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook Publisher first. The add-on does not convert a PDF into a flipbook or embed a PDF directly in WordPress. You need an account with one of those products and a prepared flipbook.

Add a flipbook with its sharing link

1. Create a flipbook by uploading and customizing a PDF in FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook Publisher.
2. Copy the finished flipbook’s sharing link.
3. In the WordPress admin area, install and activate the FlippingBook Plugin.
4. Paste the sharing link into the body of a post or page. It converts to a FlippingBook oEmbed automatically.

Set responsive sizing and custom ratios

Use the plugin’s admin page to adjust oEmbed options. When responsive display is enabled, an oEmbed fills the available container width and retains the ratio set in the oEmbed ratio field. This setting applies to new oEmbeds. To apply it to existing FlippingBook oEmbeds, clear the oEmbed cache.

Use a Custom Domain or shortcode

FlippingBook Online customers with a configured Custom Domain can enter that domain in the plugin’s settings. This enables oEmbed and shortcode support for the custom domain.

For shortcode settings, select Embed > Embed into WordPress in FlippingBook Online. In FlippingBook Publisher, choose Publication > Get Embed Code > WordPress when hosting on the cloud. Adjust the embed’s look and size there, then copy the code. You can also use the [flippingbook] shortcode and set its attributes:

• width sets the embed width in pixels or as a percentage. height sets the height in pixels or to auto.
• ratio sets the width-to-height ratio, such as 16:9 or 4:3. When you set a ratio, set height to auto so the height adjusts to match it.
• page selects the page where the flipbook opens. mode shows the publication as a link instead of a full embed.
• lightbox controls whether embedded links or clickable covers open in a lightbox. Set it to false to open the flipbook in a new tab. The link mode is intended to work with lightbox.
• Set wheel to true to let readers turn pages with the mouse wheel. This can interrupt page scrolling while the pointer is over the embed.
• Set transparent to true for a transparent embed background. Only with this setting, hide-logo hides the FlippingBook logo, navigation-color sets the navigation color as a hex value, and book-size sets the book size as a percentage.
