This plugin puts your Fliptale books on your WordPress site: catalogs, magazines, brochures, reports, menus and portfolios that readers page through right in the post, with nothing to install.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Three ways to embed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Paste the link.<\/strong> Paste a book's link on its own line in the block editor and it becomes a flipbook. Links in the Classic editor and in Embed blocks work too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fliptale Flipbook block.<\/strong> Add the block, paste the link, and set the height. The block supports wide and full-width alignment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortcode.<\/strong> <code>[fliptale url=\"https:\/\/fliptale.io\/b\/\u2026\"]<\/code> for page builders, widgets and the Classic editor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>What readers get<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Realistic 3D page turns on computers and tablets.<\/li>\n<li>A light 2D view with curling pages on phones, and a switch between 2D and 3D.<\/li>\n<li>Full screen, page navigation and sound, right in your page.<\/li>\n<li>Books in several languages, with a language switcher, when you publish translations in Fliptale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>You make and publish the book on Fliptale (free to start, no credit card needed), then embed it here. When you update and republish the book in Fliptale, every page that embeds it shows the new version. There's nothing to upload to WordPress and nothing to configure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Books on Fliptale's free plan show a small \"Made with Fliptale\" link in the viewer. Books on paid plans don't. The plugin itself adds no links or credits to your site.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin accepts links to books and collections on fliptale.io, on your Fliptale site at yourname.fliptale.io, and on custom domains you allow (see the FAQ). Other links are left alone, so the block and shortcode can never be used to frame another site.<\/p>\n\n<h4>External services<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin shows books hosted by Fliptale (https:\/\/fliptale.io), a service for publishing PDFs as flipbooks. You need a Fliptale account to create and publish books.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your WordPress server never contacts Fliptale. When someone views a page that embeds a book, in the editor or on your site, their browser loads the book from Fliptale in an iframe, from fliptale.io, from the owner's Fliptale site (yourname.fliptale.io), or from a custom domain the owner set up in Fliptale.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What is sent:<\/strong> what any website receives when a page loads: the visitor's IP address, browser user agent and the address of the page that embeds the book. While the book is open, the viewer also reports anonymous reading statistics for the book's owner: that it was opened, which pages were reached, how long it was on screen, the kind of device, and the site that linked to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is not:<\/strong> no cookies are set, and nothing about your WordPress site or its users is sent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> only when a page with an embedded book is viewed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The viewer also relies on these third-party services. As with any web request, they see the visitor's IP address and browser user agent. No account data is sent to them.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cloudflare<\/strong> hosts Fliptale and delivers the books, and its cookieless Web Analytics script runs in the embed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/terms\/\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/privacypolicy\/\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>jsDelivr<\/strong> may deliver lighting images for the 3D view. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsdelivr.com\/terms\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsdelivr.com\/terms\/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google Fonts<\/strong> may deliver a font, only when a book can't be shown. <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Fliptale's <a href=\"https:\/\/fliptale.io\/terms\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fliptale.io\/privacy\">Privacy Policy<\/a> apply.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In your WordPress admin, go to <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New Plugin<\/strong>, search for \"Fliptale\" and click <strong>Install Now<\/strong>, then <strong>Activate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>On <a href=\"https:\/\/fliptale.io\">fliptale.io<\/a>, upload a PDF, tune the look and publish it.<\/li>\n<li>Open the book's <strong>Publish &amp; Share<\/strong> panel and copy its link.<\/li>\n<li>In a post or page, paste the link on its own line, or add the <strong>Fliptale Flipbook<\/strong> block and paste it there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20fliptale%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a Fliptale account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, to create and publish books.
