It’s currently difficult to recreate the feel of a book on WordPress – you either need to make your whole site into the ‘book’ or figure out complex work-arounds like creating your own taxonomies. WordPress’s own support section says “There are ways to use a blog to post long-form pieces in chapters, however, it will require a bit of work.” BookPress solves all this for you!
If your dream is to self-publish your novel, or to create a site where you can mix your blog, books and other features, BookPress is for you.
BookPress Features:
- Write your book in WordPress and easily display it ‘like a book’
- Add book elements such as covers, table of contents, dedication, copyright page, chapters, etc.
- Drop and drag book elements to reorder your book content
- ‘Book like’ page numbering – use Roman numerals for front matter and Arabic for body and end matter
- Automatic creation of Table of Contents with live links to jump to relevent page
- Sidebar widget to display your book and link to it
- Progress tracking – word counts for each element (eg chapter) and the whole book to help keep you motivated!
- Clean, easy to read front end book design that ‘feels like a book’
- Front end display of book with sections, content, page numbering, etc. correctly formatted and sequenced
