The vFlyer Wordpress Plugin allows you to easily embed flyers directly into your Wordpress blog.

2. Unzip and move the vflyer folder into your Wordpress plugin directory. This should be under your relative path of wp-content/plugins/

3. Log into your Wordpress admin interface and click plugins on the menu

4. You should see the plugin listed

5. Click “Activate” to enable the plugin

6. To use the plugin, simply type [vflyer_insert XXXXXX] where XXXXXX is the Flyer Id of your flyer (How to find your flyer ID)

Q: I when I try to use the plugin I get the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: 
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

A: Your hosting provider prohibits function file_get_contents() to connect to foreign hosts. For the plugin to work this must be enabled.

To enable it, edit your php.ini file (your PHP configuration file). The location of this file depends on your server configuration. The easiest way to find it is using the phpinfo() command (See How to Find the Location of php.ini File). Once you located your php.ini, you will need to edit it. Search for allow_url_fopen and make sure it is set to on like in the example below. If it is missing, go ahead and add it.

allow_url_fopen = on;

If for some reason you do not have authorization to modify your php.ini, you will need to contact your hosting provider or network administrator.

Q: The template does not fit on my blog page
A: Some vFlyer templates have widths that exceed those supported by many blogs. A set of “Blog-friendly” templates will be made available in late June 2007.
