SK ePaper Manager lets you create and display digital ePapers by uploading multiple images or PDF files for each edition.

Visitors can browse all ePapers in an archive view or open single editions to read page by page — with support for zoom, print, download, and shortcode embedding.

Perfect for news portals, daily newspapers, schools, or local publications.

Try it first: open the live demo – a throwaway WordPress site in your browser with sample editions already loaded. No install, no signup, and nothing touches your own site.

Features

For your readers

Page reader with zoom, print (one page or all), download, keyboard arrows and touch swipe
Thumbnail page rail, below the reader or as a side rail, with optional section names
Pages load as the reader moves through them, so a long edition opens quickly
Archive filters: search, Edition, Language, month and exact edition date
A “More Editions” row under every edition
Share buttons for WhatsApp, Facebook, X and copy link, plus the phone’s own share menu, in the toolbar, under the reader and on archive cards
Page links: share or bookmark one page of an edition, e.g. /epapers/todays-edition/p/5/
Accessible controls, live page counter and reduced-motion support

For you

Custom post type for editions, with Editions (city or regional) and Languages taxonomies
Drag-and-drop page ordering, a publication date, and a name for each page
Upload images or PDFs, mixed in the same edition
Analytics with reader engagement, top editions and an edition date range
Getting Started screen with a guide and one-click sample content
Blocks and shortcodes: [sk_epaper id="123"] and [sk_epaper_archive]
Brand colour, content width and reader controls, all configurable

Built to last

View counting keeps working behind full page caching
No tracking and no third-party scripts: share buttons are plain links
Open Graph tags for link previews, switched off automatically when an SEO plugin already adds them
Templates can be overridden from your theme
Uninstall removes nothing unless you ask it to

Shortcodes
