Hi, I have scanned my site as I have php issues and it appears this extension is not compatible with php 7.4.

Here is the message which appears :

PHP 7.4 incompatibilities: FILE: flowpaper.php FOUND 1 ERRORS AND 0 WARNINGS AFFECTING 1 LINES

35 | ERROR | Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 7.0

Andy suggestion as to what to do to avoid this conflict? ??

Hi Flowpaper

I am trying to find where I can change the setting “FullScreenAsMaxWindow” on the website through your plugin.

I cannot find the option on the Flowpaper application itself so wondering if this is something we can change within the plugin?

Kind regards

Darren

Hi,

I saw this error in the modsecurity log:

AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined array key 0 in /jimfg.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/flowpaper-lite-pdf-flipbook/flowpaper.php on line 288’, referer: https://flowpaper.com/

I am not very technical but does this need to be addressed? If so what do I need to do?

Thanks, Daphne

Have the popup with issue “That does not seem to be a valid PDF url. Please check so the PDF exists”

Hi, is there a way to restrict access to the phyisical pdf file? We tried to use your plugin uploading pdf files on a restricted folder on our server but the shortcode does not convert the files. If we remove the folder restriction, it works. Our site sells an online magazine through a subscription system and the pdf files must not be reached directly. The restriction happens with a deny all directive on a .htaccess file into the destination folder.

Thankyou.

PDF does not want to load. It does work locally but not on the production server. This is the page in question: https://marchetta.be/flipboeken/woonmagazine-2023/
The pdf file url
https://marchetta.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/flipbook-woonmagazine-compressed.pdf
The pdf is only 11MB so it should work

Defender Pro has identified line 35 of flowpaper.php as a suspicious function:

          //unset magic quotes; otherwise, file contents will be modified
          if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')){
		          set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
		      }

Presumably this is a false positive?

Hello,

Books open from left to right.
In some languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, books must be opened from right to left.
Is there a way to make it open from right to left for other languages?

Best Regards.

Is it possible to force fullscreen on page loading, like in the code?
Thank you!

Hello. My mother’s pdf gardening journals are our copyright and property. We don’t mind people reading them, we just don’t want to lose them to others who can download copies and repost online.

Unfortunately, this plugin has a built-in download arrow and is therefore sadly not suitable for our web site.

There appears to be no shortcode to disable download, sharing and printing.

If you do have a solution to this, please let us know. Thank you.

Hi there,

The issue: The image shown in the preview does not match the page that gets displayed when clicking the preview.

In the example you can see that the preview shows some text for page three, but the real page three has a purple and gray image.

Is this issue fixable?

Otherwise the plugin works very well. Thank you.

The plugin has not been tested with latest version of WordPress. Can you give it an update?

Hello,
I used it to open in lightbox but the preview is small (about 965 x 545px).
Is it possible to open lightbox full screen?
Only by clicking the icon in the toolbar is then opening full screen, but users may not see it. Thanks

Hello,

Please advise if this plugin works with WP Download Manager plugin (www.wpdownloadmanager.com)?

I have a lot of PDF files in my WordPress/Woocommerce website being served with WPDM. PDF file links are similar to https://foo.com/?wpdmdl=33879 and to display the links I use snippets like this:

$download_link = 'https://foo.com/?wpdmdl=33879' ;
echo '<a href=' . $download_link . '>PDF File</a>';

Can you please explain how your plugin can be used in the above example?

Thank you.

Hi, is there any option to make the text selectable?
I’d like the users to be able to copy/paste portions of text but currently I see the pages of my pdf are being converted to jpgs by the plugin…

Thank you

Flow paper is not working properly. Why does Flowpaper load half of our PDF? Could it be related to the spread view of the PDF?

Hi there,

i’ve been using this plugin for a while without any problems.
But since a few days the viewer says: ‘Can’t load this PDF. Make sure the PDF exists at the URL you’re loading it from.’

Nothing has changed on my setup. Can you please check this?

Hi,

How can I change the thumbnail size?

Thank you..

I am using shortcode [flipbook pdf="'.$pdf_url.'" width="80%" height="700px"]. But for few pdfs which I am uploading newly its not working and saying Can’t load pdf.

Waiting for reply.

Thank you!

Hello

I understand how to make the lightbox work with a cover image, but how do I utilise the lightbox feature with my own text link,

e.g. <a href="https://www.abc.com/document.pdf">View Document</a>

Hi! Please, help us.
We need to add a print button…

Hi, I just installed the plugin. Works fine on Desktop. On mobile however there is this distracting large “play” button which hovers over the pdf.

if you click the button, a new tab gets opened which redirects you to
https://flowpaper.com/flipbook/?pdf=https://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/example.pdf?wp-hosted=1&title=&header=&theme=light&singlepage=auto&thumbs=1&modified=201003838
as the PDF would be cloud hosted, which is obviously not the case.

Is the plugin meant to be cloud only? Is it a Bug? Are there any params which prevent the new tab to open. Can I hide the “play” button (allowFullScreen=”false”) did not work ??

I tried the following shortcodes
[flipbook height="700" theme="light" pdf="https://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/example.pdf"]

[flipbook height="700" theme="light" pdf="/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/example.pdf"]

Hello,
This plugin would be really good if there wasn’t an important bug: it works fine when the PDF have independent pages, but when it has double pages, there is a problem.

In this example, it displays 15 pages (witch is the number of double-pages), instead of 30. Can you fix it soon?

Example: the plugin displays:
1/15 ; 2-3/15 ; … ; 14-15/15 and the stops, pages 16 to 30 are not visible.
It should display:
1/30 ; 2-3/13 ; … ; 28-29/30 ; 30/30

Using the free version, I have a mobile site which displays the flipbook well with the exception of the full screen arrow being displayed right in the middle of all the pages.

Is there any way to get rid of that fullscreen arrow or have it displayed somewhere else?

This is the shortcode I am using:

[flipbook same_height_as=”div#content” singlepage=”true” pdf=”my.pdf” theme=”light” header=”Opening Catalog…” title=”Catalog 2020″]

I also tried same_height_as=”div.sidebar” and same_height_as=”body which give the same problem

Hi ! I’ve just updated to the last version of the plugin (v1.9.4)
Unfortunately, Flowpaper can’t be placed properly on the page, and there is a conflict with the widgets on the sidebar and the bottom contents.

Deactivating the plugin helps having the widgets at their proper places.

I didn’t have this problem with v1.9.3 and i can’t find any previous version anywhere, could you help me ?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hello,
Weird behaviour on pages displaying flowpaper flipbook : the default widget sidebar is taken out of the content div, and appears under the content instead of being beside.

Here is the html code of such a page, plugin activated :

<main id=”main” class=...>
	<header class=“page-header”>...<.header>
	<!-- .page-header -->
	<div id=”content-wrap” class=...>
		<div id=”primary” class=...>
				... [ flowpaper iframe ] ...
		</div>
			<!-- #content -->
			::after
		</div>
		<!-- #primary -->
	<aside id=”right-sidebar” class=...>...</aside>
	<!-- #right-sidebar -->
	::after
</main>

And the code of the same page, plugin deactivated :

<main id=”main” class=...>
	<header class=“page-header”>...<.header>
	<!-- .page-header -->
	<div id=”content-wrap” class=...>
		<div id=”primary” class=...>...
			... [ flowpaper iframe ] ...
		</div>
		<!-- #primary -->
	<aside id=”right-sidebar” class=...>...</aside>
		<!-- #right-sidebar -->
		::after
	</div>
	<!-- #content-wrap -->
	::after
</main>

What can I do to maintain the correct displaying of the sidebar on the side of the content, and not after it ? ie the <aside> block inside the <div id=”content-wrap”> ?

Thank you.

There is something going on with the fulscreen buttons in the Lightbox. When you push the expand button, it attempts to make the image full screen but it just sort of blinks stick to the top of the page.

Its working fine on other browser but the issue is with safari.
