<h4>Summary</h4>
<p>Admin Screenshots for WordPress will add a button to every page in the admin Dashboard, allowing you to take a screenshot of the page you’re on. The screenshot will be saved in your Media Library, and you will get a direct link to it to share. This will let you show how certain settings are, without giving them access to your backend.</p>
<p>If you’re on the other end (like a support agent) and you need to know how someone’s site settings without having to log in, tell your customer to install the plugin, take a screenshot of the page that you want to see, and send you the link.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Saves screenshots in Media Library</strong>: every image is saved in the /admin-screenshots/ subdirectory under /uploads.</li>
<li><strong>Gives you direct link to images</strong>: immediately after taking the screenshot, you get the link to it, easy to copy to your clipboard and share with others.</li>
</ul>


Admin Screenshots


This is a great little tool to share screenshots of admin pages. 



Having the image save in the media library is perfect, as it allows for the admin to control ownership of the image, and can delete if when needed.



Can we get this to also take screenshots of the pages on the frontend?


Lightweight and great for support.

Want to take a screenshot of any page in your admin Dashboard and share it with someone else? It couldn't be easier with Admin Screenshots!

<p>Use the <code>[browser-shot]</code> shortcode to automate the process of taking website screenshots. An icon is also added to the TinyMCE editor to make the shortcode creation process easy.</p>
<p>The plugin uses the ‘mshots’ functionality, from WordPress.com, to automatically take screenshots of websites. This function is free for non-commercial use.</p>
<p>The images are stored on the wordpress.com servers and are not saved onto your own website. The images are cached for roughly 24 hours before being generated again.</p>
<h4>Shortcode Preview</h4>
<pre><code>// basic shot 600px wide
[browser-shot url="https://link-to-website" width="600"]

// shot with link to other website
[browser-shot url="https://link-to-website" width="700" link="https://www.binarymoon.co.uk/"]

// shot with caption (uses default WordPress caption styles)
[browser-shot url="https://link-to-website" width="700"]Add Caption[/browser-shot]
</code></pre>
<h4>Available Parameters</h4>
<ul>
<li>url (required) – the url of the link to shorten</li>
<li>width – the width of the image</li>
<li>height – the height of the image</li>
<li>alt – the image alt text</li>
<li>link – where the image links. Left blank it will point to the website where the screenshot is being taken</li>
<li>target – browser target. Set to _blank to open in a new window</li>
<li>class – add a class to the browsershots wrapper</li>
<li>image_class – change the default browsershots image class from alignnone to your chosen class</li>
<li>display_link (true or false – default true) to display a link in your screenshot</li>
<li>post_links (true or false – default false) to link to the permalink of the post the screenshot is on</li>
</ul>
<h4>Generating Screenshots with code</h4>
<p>If you want to create screenshots in a theme using this plugin then you can do so using the <code>BrowserShots::get_shot</code> method.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code><img src="<?php echo BrowserShots::get_shot( 'https://prothemedesign.com', 600, 450 ); ?>" />
</code></pre>
<p>Keep in mind that the plugin must be installed and activated for this to work.</p>
<p>The get_shot method has 3 parameters.</p>
<ol>
<li>The url.</li>
<li>The width.</li>
<li>The height.</li>
</ol>
<p>The other parameters, from the shotcode, can be implemented manually when outputting the html.</p>
<h4>Multisite Compatibility</h4>
<p>The <em>Browser Shots</em> plugin is compatibly with WordPress Multisite, just use the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#WordPress_Plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Network Activate</a> feature to enable the shortcode on every site. If you only want to enable the shortcode for a specific site, activate the plugin for that site only.</p>

Browser Screenshots

I was recently blessed to help contribute a Gutenberg block to Browser Shots. The shortcode, and now the block, are amazing additions.

Thanks, Ben, for this great plugin.
