Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FICTBASE

Yes. FICTBASE gives you the same chapter-by-chapter reading experience as Wattpad — story pages, chapter navigation, genre filters, reader themes — but hosted on your own WordPress site. You keep your audience data, your SEO, and 100% of your revenue.

Yes. FICTBASE is designed for web novels and serialized fiction of any genre: fantasy, LitRPG, romance, progression fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, and more. Each story gets its own landing page and chapter list, and readers can filter by genre on the public archive at /stories/.

No. FICTBASE uses its own URL routing. Stories and chapters are available at /story/{slug}/ automatically after plugin activation. If your URLs return 404, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save.

Use [fictbase_list] on any page to show all your stories in a grid. Use [fictbase_story id="5"] to embed a single story card. Use [fictbase_chapters story_id="5"] to embed a chapter list.

Pro is an optional paid add-on (from $9.99/month or $99/year) that unlocks drip scheduling, reader bookmarks, analytics, email notifications, .docx import, and a per-page Custom CSS editor. It is purchased at fictbase.com. The free plugin is fully functional without it.

Yes. FICTBASE injects its own CSS only on story and chapter pages. Your existing theme header and footer continue to wrap reader pages.

Go to FICTBASE → Settings. You can choose light/dark/auto theme, font size and reading width. For your own CSS, every page FICTBASE renders carries a fictbase-page body class, and the chapter reader also carries fictbase-reader-page. For deeper changes, copy the template files from the plugin's public/views/ folder into a fictbase/ subfolder in your theme. Pro adds a Custom CSS editor with separate boxes per page type.

Yes. Target the fictbase-page body class, which is present on your story list, story pages, chapter reader, tag, search and bookmarks pages and nowhere else. If what you want is to drop the sidebar and footer widgets on those pages while keeping them everywhere else, there is a switch for it under FICTBASE → Settings → Page Layout, no CSS needed.

Yes, and the two are independent. Under FICTBASE → Settings → Page Layout, untick Show the author box at the end of each chapter. Comments have their own switch under FICTBASE → Settings → Comments, and are off on a new install; any single story can also override that on its own edit screen.

The free plugin stores no visitor data and sends nothing anywhere. Licence key validation is performed by the separate Pro add-on, not by this plugin. Pro's email subscriber feature stores email addresses in your own WordPress database.
