About this plugin
Blogtome automatically turns the published posts of a WordPress category into a print-ready PDF book – sorted chronologically, chapter by chapter. Ideal for travel blogs, journals, or project documentation you want to turn into a printed book or ebook.
Good to know
Because blog content can be built very differently depending on the blocks and plugins used, a perfect print result can’t be guaranteed 100% for every possible combination – for unusual or highly individual content, it’s worth checking the generated PDF before sending it to print.
Chapters & layout
- Uses all published posts of a category as individual chapters, sorted chronologically – individual posts can be excluded, e.g. to leave out posts already included in a previous volume
- Optional, automatically generated table of contents with clickable links and a freely editable heading
- Two output profiles: Screen/Standard (A4, display-resolution images) or Print/HighRes (A4, full-resolution images) for sharper results when actually printing
- One- or two-column layout, automatically switches to one column for chapters containing tables
- Optional header with book title/subtitle, continuous or per-chapter page numbering
- Freely choosable background and text colors for the title page and content
- Optional cover image with adjustable size, plus a freely editable “About this book” text block
Supported block editor content
- TablePress: embedded TablePress tables – including those inserted via shortcode – are recognized and automatically formatted for print
- Spectra (formerly Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg / UAGB): image galleries, single images with captions, and container blocks are natively supported
- Classic Gutenberg images with captions stay together with their caption across page breaks
- Embedded videos are automatically replaced in the PDF with a QR code linking to the original video
Management
- Generated PDFs are saved and can be downloaded or deleted directly from the admin area
- The most recently used settings are remembered automatically
Why this plugin?
Blogtome started out of simple curiosity: how do you turn the posts of a travel blog into an actual, printed book without a huge amount of effort? That question gradually turned into a plugin that now reliably produces print-ready PDFs – even from categories with lots of images, tables, and galleries.
