Flipboard Share Button for WordPress.com
-
Hello,
Are there any plans to add Flipboard to the sharing options for WordPress.com? I cannot speak for other topics, but it’s a valuable referral source for food and recipe bloggers. Over the past couple of months, Flipboard has become a significant source of traffic to my blog. Right now its just luck. Someone either’s using the mobile app or is using the browser extension.
I cannot add the share button myself because Flipboard HTML contains script. Please see their Tools page https://about.flipboard.com/tools/. Also, I’m aware plugins only apply to WordPress.org.
I encourage you to review the array of topics on Flipboard, and consider the share button benefit to WordPress.com users.
Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am also seeing Flipboard as a big referrer to my blog and would like to add a share button for flipboard but could not find one

Hi there!
To make sure I’m understanding correctly: Is your aim to embed a magazine from Flipboard.com into a post or page on your WordPress.com site?
As you’ve discovered, we don’t currently support embeds from that site, however, you can still insert a direct link to your magazine in your custom menu or within a text widget.
In addition, I’ve added your to our internal ideas tracker. We’ll use that to keep an eye on demand for Flipboard.com embeds and possibly add support for them in the future.
Hope that’s helpful! Please don’t hesitate to update this thread with any extra questions.

Just adding my voice to include a native “FlipIt” button to the current WordPressdotcom Sharing buttons.

The goal is not to embed a Flipboard magazine into a post or page. Rather add a “Flip” button for social sharing, making it another option to Facebook, Twitter, etc.
The “Flip” button allows Flipboard users to collect and add content to
- their
magazines. The magazine topics are endless. No doubt there’s niche beneficial to most WP bloggers.
Please keep the “Flip” button top of mind in the idea tracker.
Thanks!

@andyash @justjennifer @frostingfanatic: Thank you all for clarifying and apologies for my wrong assumption. I most obviously need to sign up to Flipboard to learn more and see what I’m missing out on. :)
I have now added the “Flip” button to our internal idea tracker and added each of your posts as a “vote” for it. We’ll keep an eye on demand.
