SK ePaper Manager

Yes. Turn on the share bar under ePapers > Settings > Sharing. Readers can share the page they are on to WhatsApp, Facebook or X, copy the link, or use their phone's share menu. Choose whether the buttons appear in the reader toolbar, under the reader, or both. Edition cards in the archive get a share button too, for sharing a whole edition. Every shared link opens the edition on that page: /epapers/{edition}/p/5/ (or ?epage=5 on sites without pretty permalinks). As readers turn pages, the address bar follows along, so a bookmark or a copied URL also points to the right page.

No. Share buttons are ordinary links: nothing from WhatsApp, Facebook or X loads until a reader clicks one. The "Request a Feature" and "Early Access" links in the admin simply open a web page; the plugin itself never sends anything.

No. The plugin skips its own Open Graph tags when Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework or Jetpack is adding them. You can also switch them off under Settings > Sharing.

Yes. Open the live demo (or use the Live Preview button on this page). It opens a temporary WordPress site with sample editions already loaded, and disappears when you close the tab. Once installed, ePapers > Getting Started can create the same sample editions on your own site, and remove them again in one click.

Yes. Upload images, PDFs, or a mix of both in one edition. Under Settings > PDF Rendering you can choose how PDFs are shown:

• Browser embed - the browser's own PDF viewer.
• Page images (recommended) - WordPress generates a page image for each PDF, so zoom, printing, swiping and lazy loading behave exactly like an image edition.

A view is counted when a reader opens an edition, not when it appears in the archive list.

• The same reader opening the same edition again within 24 hours counts once, so refreshing does not inflate the number.
• Known search engine crawlers and bots are ignored.
• Counting happens through a small background request, so it keeps working on sites with full page caching.
• Counts are per edition, not per page. Turning pages inside an edition adds nothing.

They are more accurate now. Before 2.0.0 every page load counted, including bots, crawlers and the same reader refreshing. Your historical totals are untouched, but the numbers grow more slowly from here.

No. That setting hides the toolbar button, but the uploaded images and PDFs still live in your normal WordPress uploads folder and stay reachable at their direct URLs. Genuinely restricting access needs protected file delivery, which is planned for a future release. If you need it today, put access rules on your uploads directory at the web server level.

• Archive: /epapers/
• Single edition: /epapers/{edition-name}/
• By city or region: /epaper-edition/{edition-slug}/
• By language: /epaper-language/{language-slug}/

Yes. Use [sk_epaper id="123"] for the reader or [sk_epaper_archive count="6"] for a grid. In the block editor, search for ePaper to insert the same thing as a block.

Copy a template into your theme and the plugin will use yours instead:

• yourtheme/sk-epaper/single-epaper.php
• yourtheme/sk-epaper/archive-epaper.php

Set Settings > Content Width to your theme's content width, or to 0 to remove the limit and let your theme's own container decide.

The plugin's CSS and JavaScript load only on pages that actually show an ePaper. Inside an edition, pages load as the reader reaches them rather than all at once, and archives are paginated.

Nothing is removed unless you opt in first, under Settings > On Uninstall. Even then, only plugin settings and stored ePaper data are deleted - your ePaper posts and uploaded media are always left alone.

No. Editions, settings, permalinks and shortcodes are unchanged and upgrade automatically. Two things change visibly: view counts grow more slowly because bots and repeat visits no longer count, and the archive is paginated at 24 editions per page, which you can change in Settings.
