It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/scribd-doc-embedder.svg) # Scribd Doc Embedder By [ericboles](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ericboles/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/scribd-doc-embedder.zip) * [Details](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/scribd-doc-embedder/#description) * [Reviews](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/scribd-doc-embedder/#reviews) * [Installation](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/scribd-doc-embedder/#installation) * [Development](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/scribd-doc-embedder/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/scribd-doc-embedder/) ## Description Adds 2 shortcodes so Scribd documents or documents supported by Scribd (e.g. PDF, MS Office, ePub, and many others) can be embedded into a web page using the Scribd Docs Reader. These shortcodes provide functionality beyond the standard scribd embed shortcode provided in Jetpack by WordPress.com. **Version 2** Now includes shortcode button and configurator in the editor so you easily enter the information you need to embed you documents. Take a look at the screenshots to see them. **[scribd-doc]** Shortcode: * Allows you to embed a document that has been uploaded to Scribd. * The Scribd document can be public or private. * Requires both the document ID and the document key: * [scribd-doc doc=”DOCID” key=”KEY”] **[scribd-url]** Shortcode: * Allows you to create a Scribd Reader from a publicly accessible URL. * Naturally requires that the document type be supported by Scribd. * Requires both the document URL and your Scribd Publisher API key: * [scribd-url url=”FULL-URL” pubid=”YOUR-SCRIBD-PUBLISHER-ID”] Both shortcodes support many optional parameters provided by the Scribd API: * **width**: Define the width of the Reader in pixels. * **height**: Define the height of the Reader in pixels. * **page**: Set a page number for the Reader to load on. * **mode**: Define the player mode (either “list” or “slideshow”) * **share**: Defines whether the share button in the toolbar is shown, overriding the default (either “true” or “false”) * **seamless**: If set to “true”, puts the player into seamless mode (seamless is only supported by scribd-doc) If height or width are not set, the Scribd Reader will attempt to size itself correctly. Note: You will need a Scribd account and a Scribd API key for this plugin to work. You can sign up for a Scribd account at http://www.scribd.com. With a Scribd account, you can get your API key at http://www.scribd.com/developers ## Screenshots * [[ * Shortcode editor to embed a document that has been uploaded to Scribd.

Upload the `scribd-doc-embedder` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. If using WordPress 3.9 or greater, you’ll now see a shortcode button in your editor that you can use to enter and configure the short codes. 4. You can also manually place a shortcode on any page. ## FAQ Where do I find the Document ID and Key? You will find the document ID and key within your Scribd account after uploading a document to Scribd and going looking at the How do I get a Scribd Publisher Key? You will need a Scribd account and a Scribd API key for this plugin to work. You will see your Publisher key in your API settings within your account after getting API access. You can sign up for a Scribd account at http://www.scribd.com. With a Scribd account, you can get your API key at http://www.scribd.com/developers It doesn’t seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong? Be sure you’re not prepending your Document Keys or Publisher ID with “key-“ or “ pub-“. How come I can’t see the shortcode button in my editor? You need to be running WordPress 3.9 or above to use the shortcode button. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c83d29dae0716625a31017ebca0024d45636c85a816f74af3355ade8442ba00? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works on v5.3.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-on-v5-3-2/)󠁿 [raybez](https://profiles.wordpress.org/raybez/) February 26, 2020 I have just successfully installed and configured it to work on my website which currently runs v5.3.2.

Probably worked when it was launched but 2 years without an update creates an unworkable plugin. Best to use the Scribd embed code.
