Flipbook Catalog

Turn your PDFs into a browsable catalog library on your WordPress site — no coding required.

Flipbook Catalog adds a dedicated content type for your PDF publications. Upload a PDF, give it a title and featured image, and your visitors get a beautiful interactive flipbook powered by the Flipbook Block plugin. Everything is wired up automatically — no shortcodes, no page builders, no fiddling with templates.

What It Does

• Dedicated content type — keeps your catalogs, magazines, or brochures organised separately from posts and pages.
• Media library integration — select any PDF straight from your WordPress media library with a familiar upload interface.
• Automatic flipbook template — single catalog pages use a pre-built block theme template that displays the flipbook automatically. No template editing required.
• Configurable labels and URLs — call it "Magazines", "Lookbooks", "Brochures" — whatever fits your brand. Change the label and URL slug from a simple Settings page.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.9 or higher
• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Flipbook Block plugin (free, installed separately)
• A block-based theme
