Why should I create interactive items in the Playbuzz Plugin?

Creating items in WordPress is a seamless authoring experience that enables you to create and publish interactive items in one place to increase audience engagement and provide visually-stunning narratives to your readers – no design or coding skills required.

I don’t have a Playbuzz user account – can I still use the plugin?

In order to create an item within WordPress, or embed an item you’ve created on Playbuzz.com, you must have a Playbuzz account. Register for your own free Playbuzz account right here, and start creating in minutes! If you do not have a Playbuzz account, you can use the plugin to embed publicly created items.

How can I change the items’ instructional text language? Example: “Click to Flip” or “Vote.”

After publishing, some text like “Click to Flip” or “Vote” can be presented in other languages.
Your choice of language can be adjusted through the plugin language settings, and may require contacting your WordPress admin.

I would like to show/hide the item’s share buttons

To do so, please set the default specifications for items created within WordPress, which may require contacting your WordPress admin to configure the plugin settings accordingly. When embedding an item, you can also customize the embed code settings for that specific item. Please visit the screenshot tab for a detailed how-to.

Why should I embed content from the Playbuzz network?

Interactive, visual content is a proven way to increase engagement on your blog or website. You can create your own Playbuzz item or select an item from our network of world-class publishing partners and community creators. We feature engaging items that address many popular topics, including sports, entertainment, news and politics. Creating or embedding a Playbuzz item on your WordPress site can increase your site’s engagement and performance, including page views, ad impressions, time on page, time on site, pages per visit, social media share rates and more.

I would like to embed items from my Playbuzz account.

If you need assistance configuring the plugin settings accordingly, please contact your WordPress admin. Note that your account name should match the name on your Playbuzz.com account.

Does Playbuzz work on mobile and tablet devices?

Playbuzz items can be viewed and interacted with on all platforms. Creating and embedding items is currently available only on desktop.
