Loading Case 1: No Loading Icon + Long Message:

dFlip 3D Flipbook WordPress Usage & FAQs 1
If you see the loading message and don’t see a loading icon. Then the issue is related to code execution.

  1. Cause A – Other plugin error: DearFlip uses jQuery to start the plugin and if other jQuery plugins cause any errors, the execution of DearFlip is also disturbed. The flipbook never advances further and is stuck at the initial loading message. Check your Browser console (CTRL + SHIFT + I) and make sure there are no errors.
  2. Cause B – WordPress 5.5 update: This is similar to cause A. With WordPress 5.5, jQuery got updated and many other plugins failed, and that results in cause A. So check your Browser console (CTRL + SHIFT + I) and make sure there are no errors.
  3. Cause C – DearFlip error: Check your Browser console (CTRL + SHIFT + I) and make sure there are no errors. If the error displayed is from dflip.min.js then report it using the contact lite support button below.

Loading Case 2: Loading Icon + Loading Message:

This is a normal case and the messages are displayed as the resources and files are loaded.

Loading Case 3: Loading stuck at certain Message:

This happens when the related file for loading is missing or inaccessible. For the best results, we recommend using(hosting) the files from the same domain. Check your Browser console (CTRL + SHIFT + I) and make sure there are no errors. If there are errors please report it using the contact lite support button below.

Loading Case 4: Cannot access File:

Make sure the file is accessible. Try opening the link in browser opening a new tab and inserting the PDF URL – see if it opens. Make sure it opens.

  1. Cause A – File is not available: Filename is mistaken or not added at all.
  2. Cause B – CORS Issue: This happens a lot when users don’t understand what files access means in the modern web. PDF files are not accessible from one domain to another just like that. They require permission. You need to set proper CORS permission into the domain where the PDF files exist, so that your domain can access it. NOTE: PDF files from online file-sharing servers like Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox cannot be configured for CORS access. They won’t allow it.

How many pages can 3D Flipbook support and how big the PDF file can be?

DearFlip 3D Flipbook uses PDF.js to render the PDF pages. At any given time it requires only 6 pages of data at max. So the amount of pages in a PDF file doesn’t really affect the 3D Flipbook.

  2. Enter the title of the PDF flipbook in Title box
  3. Click on ‘Select PDF’ button and select a PDF that you want to use for creating your 3D PDF Flipbook
  4. Upload the PDF file if you have not uploaded already and select the PDF file

Creating a PDF Flipbook with just PDF File URL

You can create a flipbook with just the link and without creating the dFlip post
1. Goto the page where you want to create a flipbook from pdf
2. Use a shortcode to embed the flipbook: [dflip source=”example.com/wp-content/uploads/file.pdf”]
source is the link to the PDF file that you want to convert to Flipbook

PDF links are not working!

  1. PDF links are premium feature in DearFlip, and won’t be displayed in lite version of DearFlip 3D Flipbook WordPress Plugin. You can test your PDF links to check how they work in our online PDF Flipbook Viewer.
  2. Also pay attention that some desktop readers auto convert URL text to links and give an assumption that those are links. Such links won’t work in every reader and devices. One of the popular case is Adobe PDF Reader: it auto-converts the text URLs to links in desktop but doesn’t in mobile app. So we suggest to define links explicitly and not rely on PDF reader’s auto conversion capability.

Start or open 3D Flipbook at certain page?

You can set the opening page of a flipbook with shortcode:
[dflip id=”123″ data-page=”5″]
This will create your PDF flipbook or image flipbook to open at page 5 when it starts.

Reviews

Great plugin. Outstanding support

June 18, 2021
Fantastic plugin, does everything it says it does effortlessly. Had a problem which needed some custom CSS, support had sorted this within minutes. Wish I could rate 6 stars. Keep up the good work.

Great product – Even better support

April 23, 2021
I have used the Lite version for over a year and their support of the free version is well above average. In that time, I have had questions as well as problems (due to interactions with other plug-ins) and they have responded quickly and accurately to help me resolve my issues. You couldn't ask for anything more.

Best available!

April 21, 2021
I had tried some similar plugins but was not really convinced. With this one, I am completely satisfied.
