Publishing eBooks

admin

Once you have created one or more eBooks, you can publish them on your website. You have several options:

  • Use the Publisher Theme (recommended). This theme is specifically designed for showcasing multiple eBooks. It features an automatic listing system that presents your eBooks on each page.
  • Utilize the eBook Products plugin. This plugin displays eBooks with a cover image, title, brief description, and download buttons. Each eBook can be integrated into any page using a shortcode.
  • Opt for simple file downloads. You can easily add eBook files from the media library to any page. Simply click on the file icon in the visual editor and select the eBook files.

In this guide, we will focus on the Publisher Theme, as it offers the most straightforward and organized approach to showcase and present multiple publications as both website content and downloadable eBooks.

Add the eBook to the Publisher Tab

To add and display your eBook on the website, navigate to the homepage of your project. You will find a tab labeled "Publisher." Here, you can configure how your eBook appears in the teasers on the homepage, on the project's start page, and in the book overlay within the reading area.

  • List Book on Homepage: Activate this option once everything is ready to include your eBook in the list on the homepage.
  • Book Title: Enter the title of the teaser here. It's advisable to use the same title as your book, although a more marketing-oriented title can also be effective.
  • Header Navigation: You can add internal or external links that will appear in the header navigation.
  • Book Author: List one or more authors to be displayed in the teasers.
  • Short Book Text: Provide a brief description of the book. This will be used for various teaser design formats.
  • Long Book Text: Include a more detailed description of the book. This will also be utilized for certain teaser design variations.
  • Teaser Image: Upload the cover image of your book (or any other relevant image).
  • PDF Download: Attach the PDF file you generated earlier. You can select it from the media library or upload it from your desktop.
  • EPUB Download: Attach the EPUB file you generated earlier. This can also be selected from the media library or uploaded from your desktop.

Please note that you can also restrict access to the PDF and EPUB downloads. This feature may be useful if you wish to require users to authenticate with an account before they can download the files.
