Description
EveryPage turns your PDFs into secure, trackable share links – and shows you who actually read them, right inside wp-admin. Instead of emailing an attachment or dropping a file on a page and hoping, you get a clean link and a readership report: who opened it, how far they read, how long they spent, and whether they came back.
It is built for anyone who publishes documents meant to do a job – lead magnets, whitepapers, price lists, proposals, reports, course material, media kits – and wants to know how they land.
What you can do
- Upload a PDF from the EveryPage admin and get a secure, trackable share link in seconds.
- See all your files with view counts and expiry at a glance, and open the full readership report for any document in one click.
- Edit a file’s settings without leaving WordPress: viewer mode and appearance, download and copy protection, password, view limits, watermarking, email gate and lead-capture form, expiry, vanity slug, and page range – everything your EveryPage plan includes, from a drawer on the Files page.
- Share every file three ways from its row: copy the link, show a QR code, or copy a ready-made iframe embed code.
- Read page-by-page analytics: a read-through funnel, time per page, returning readers, and reader country – without storing visitor IP addresses.
- Keep an eye on recent activity from your main dashboard with the “Recent reads” widget (file, reader country, pages read, when).
- Add the EveryPage Document block: pick one of your documents (or upload a PDF right from the editor), then embed it inline as a live viewer or as a link/button – with a live preview in the editor.
- Tune a document’s viewer from the block sidebar (viewer mode, background, page effects, protection, branding – per your EveryPage plan), including one-click “Match my theme’s colours”.
- Embed a tracked document anywhere with the
[everypage uuid="..."]shortcode – block editor, classic editor, or widgets. - Generate a QR code for any link and download it as a PNG.
- Share any PDF already in your Media Library: a “Share via EveryPage” row action, a button in the attachment details, and a bulk action – each share gives you the link, QR code, and embed snippet, and an EveryPage column shows view counts at a glance.
- Replace existing links to a Media Library PDF across your posts and pages with its tracked EveryPage link – with a dry-run preview first, an explicit confirm, and your posts’ revision history keeping the previous versions.
Privacy-first by design
EveryPage measures readership without storing visitor IP addresses – readers are pseudonymous, so you get returning-reader detection and engagement without holding personal data you would rather not be responsible for. Password protection, an email-capture gate, link expiry, and AES-256 encrypted storage are available depending on your EveryPage plan.
You need a free EveryPage account and an API key (Account API keys at everypage.co). This plugin is a client for the EveryPage service (https://everypage.co); PDFs you share are uploaded to your EveryPage account over HTTPS.
Development happens on GitHub: https://github.com/EveryPageApp/everypage-wordpress – issues and pull requests welcome.
External services
This plugin is a client for EveryPage (https://everypage.co), the external service it depends on to store and share your PDFs and to report readership analytics. A free EveryPage account and an API key are required.
The plugin sends data to EveryPage over HTTPS only when you actively use it:
- When you upload a PDF (EveryPage -> Files), that PDF file is sent to your EveryPage account to create a secure, trackable share link.
- When you share a PDF from your Media Library (row action, attachment details, or bulk action), that PDF file is read from your server and sent to your EveryPage account the same way.
- When you view your files, a file’s analytics, or the “Recent reads” dashboard widget, the plugin sends authenticated requests to read that data.
- When you open a file’s QR code, the plugin requests the QR image for that file.
- When you use the EveryPage Document block in the editor, the plugin lists your files, uploads a PDF you choose, or saves viewer settings – all server-side; your API key is never sent to the browser. A published embed loads the document viewer from everypage.co in visitors’ browsers (no API key involved).
Every request includes your EveryPage API key as a bearer token. Nothing is sent until you take one of the actions above, and the plugin contacts no other external service.

FAQ
-
Where do I get an API key?
-
Create one at everypage.co/account under “API keys”. It starts with
ep_live_. -
Is my API key stored securely?
-
It’s stored in your site’s options table and sent only to everypage.co over HTTPS. Treat it like a password; revoke it anytime from your EveryPage account.
-
Where are my PDFs stored?
-
On your EveryPage account, encrypted at rest – not in your WordPress media library or on your host. The plugin uploads the file to EveryPage over HTTPS and stores only the resulting share link.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin only contacts EveryPage from wp-admin when you upload or view a file; nothing runs on your public front-end except the optional
[everypage]shortcode where you place it. API responses are cached briefly so admin screens stay responsive. -
No. EveryPage measures readership first-party and never stores visitor IP addresses; readers are pseudonymous. The plugin contacts no service other than EveryPage.
-
What EveryPage plan do I need?
-
The Free plan covers core readership (views, readers, time spent) on up to 3 PDFs, no card required. Page-level analytics, password protection, the email gate, longer expiry, and more files come with the paid plans. See everypage.co/pricing.
-
Yes. On any PDF attachment you’ll find a “Share via EveryPage” row action, a button in the attachment details, and a bulk action. Each share gives you the tracked link, a QR code, and an embed snippet, and the plugin can optionally rewrite existing links to that PDF in your posts and pages (with a dry-run preview and an explicit confirm first).
-
Can I embed a tracked PDF in a post or page?
-
Yes. Add the EveryPage Document block, pick (or upload) a PDF, and choose between an inline embedded viewer and a link/button. In the classic editor or a widget, use the
[everypage uuid="..."]shortcode instead. You can also simply paste an EveryPage share link on its own line – with the plugin active it embeds the full tracked viewer, like a YouTube link would. -
Who can use the EveryPage Document block?
-
Any user who can upload files can pick or upload documents. Viewer settings (mode, background, branding) apply everywhere a document is shared, so changing them from the block sidebar is limited to administrators. Your API key stays on the server; the editor talks to EveryPage through the plugin only.

- New: per-file settings drawer on the Files page – edit viewer, protection, capture, and link settings in one place. Controls above your EveryPage plan stay visible but disabled, with an upgrade link.
- New: copy-embed button on every file row, completing the share trio: copy link, QR code, and iframe embed code.
- Improved: file rows now prefer the short share URL, and show your custom-domain vanity URL when one is configured.

- New: per-document viewer settings in the block sidebar (viewer mode, background, page effects, flipbook/swipe options, protection, branding – per your EveryPage plan), plus one-click “Match my theme’s colours”.
- The block and the
[everypage]shortcode now share one renderer; the shortcode is unchanged. - New: Media Library integration – “Share via EveryPage” on any PDF attachment (row action, attachment details, and a bulk action), with copy link, QR code, and embed snippet in one modal, plus an EveryPage column with view counts.
- New: “Replace links in content” – rewrite existing links to a shared Media Library PDF into its tracked EveryPage link, with a dry-run preview and an explicit confirm; post revisions keep the previous versions.
- New: paste an EveryPage share link on its own line in the editor and it embeds the full tracked viewer automatically (the plugin registers everypage.co as a trusted oEmbed provider).
- Now requires WordPress 6.6+.
