Flipbook too big to upload. FTP not working

  • Hi,

    I have used the plugin successfully to upload and embed many publications. But, some I can’t upload because they are too big. I try the other options on the Flipbook plugin page ‘Add New Book’ on my wordpress dashboard but I can’t get anything to work.
    The 1st option says: Or install the ZIP file from URL:
    “If the ZIP file is too large, you can upload the file to your web server via FTP, then install the ZIP file from URL.” then there is an empty field. When i put the URL there that I copied from FTP, I get an error message saying: ‘the specified URL does not exist’.
    The 2nd option is: ‘Or install the plugin from folder:
    You can unzip the plugin ZIP file at local hard disk, then upload the plugin folder to your WordPress uploads folder, and install from the folder.’ then there is A URL in the field, but I don’t know why. That URL does not exist in my FTP. If I past my file’s URL there, I get the message: ‘the specified URL does not exist’. And I can’t figure out how to install from the remote folder.

    I also tried uploading by FTP from withing my Flipbuilder Pro software, and I just got error messages also. I tried so many things and could not get it to work. I have found many articles online about how to use the wordpress plugin to upload and embed flip books, but nothing helping me with my flip books that are too big.

    I hope you can help! Thank you!

  • Hello,

    I am Dmitry from FLippingBook support team.
    Thank you for an information. Please, do mind: The FlippingBook plugin is used to embed existing FlippingBook publications into WordPress pages, you can’t use this plugin to upload publications from a Flipbuilder.

    If you indeed created FlippingBook publication, please, contact us by visiting our website: https://flippingbook.com/

    Sincerely,
    Dmitry

    Thank you Dmitri, but I hope you can help me more.
    I CAN upload publications from this plugin. I have uploaded several. See this page of my website: https://megabytememories.com/r-michael-gray-birthday-slideshow/ I think there are 3 or 4 there that I embedded using your plugin.
    BUT some books are too big and won’t upload. So I try to follow the instructions the plugin gives:
    Or install the ZIP file from URL:___
    If the ZIP file is too large, you can upload the file to your web server via FTP, then install the ZIP file from URL.
    I CAN upload the files. I see them in the remote directory, but the instructions say ‘install’ the Zip files. but I don’t know how to do that.
    So I try the second option listed in the plugin:
    Or install the plugin from folder:
    You can unzip the plugin ZIP file at local hard disk, then upload the plugin folder to your WordPress uploads folder, and install from the folder.
    But I can’t get that to work either. I CAN upload it with FTP, but after that, I don’t know how to INSTALL the plugin.
    Can you help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the details.

    Sorry, those publications have been created with a third-party software, so we cannot guarantee anything. FlippingBook plugin is to upload publications, created with FlippingBook Publisher and stored on FlippingBook Cloud. It is not intended to upload publications of third-party developers and we do not support such functionality.
    And, as I said, you should store aforementioned publications on FlippingBook Cloud, so there’s no need for zip files.
    You can discover more on our website and buy FlippingBook – in that case, you’ll be able to upload your publications without any issues, there will be no need in creating ZIP files, you will have access to Cloud from anywhere: https://flippingbook.com/presentation-examples

    Sincerely,
    Dmitry
