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: use the Live Preview button on this page to open a demo site with sample editions already loaded. Nothing is installed on 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
- 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
- Templates can be overridden from your theme
- Uninstall removes nothing unless you ask it to
