Prepare the flipbook before adding it to WordPress

The FlippingBook WordPress Plugin is available starting with the Business plan. It embeds interactive HTML5 flipbooks made with FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook Publisher in WordPress posts and pages. Use it for digital magazines, brochures, catalogs, and other PDF-based publications. The plugin does not convert a PDF or embed a PDF directly; you need an account with one of those FlippingBook products and a prepared flipbook.

Add the sharing link to a post or page

1. Upload and personalize a PDF in FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook Publisher to create the flipbook.
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. WordPress converts it to a FlippingBook oEmbed.

This basic process uses the sharing link, so you do not need to add embed code manually.

Set the embed's size and ratio

Use the plugin's admin page to make oEmbeds responsive. They fill the available container width and retain the ratio set in the oEmbed ratio field. The responsive setting applies to new oEmbeds. To apply it to existing FlippingBook oEmbeds, clear the oEmbed cache. A custom ratio lets you define the proportions of the responsive display.

Use a shortcode for additional controls

For FlippingBook Online, choose Embed > Embed into WordPress. In FlippingBook Publisher, choose Publication > Get Embed Code > WordPress when the publication is hosted on the cloud. Copy the provided code, or use the [flippingbook] shortcode with the attributes you need.

• width accepts pixels or percentages. height accepts pixels or auto. With a specified ratio, such as 16:9 or 4:3, set the height to auto so it adjusts to that ratio.
• page sets the page where the flipbook opens. Set mode to link to show a link instead of a full embed. The link or a clickable cover opens in a lightbox by default; set lightbox to false to open it in a new tab.
• Set wheel to true to let users flip 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. With transparency enabled, conceal-logo hides the FlippingBook logo, navigation-color sets the navigation color using a hex value, and book-size sets the book size as a percentage.

Custom Domain support requires a configured domain

If you use FlippingBook Online and have a Custom Domain set up, enter that domain in the plugin's relevant field. This enables oEmbed and shortcode support for the custom domain.
