Description

Once installed take the following steps to set it up:

  1. WP-Print settings page is located in WP-Admin -> Settings -> Print
  2. You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)
  3. Refer To Usage For Further Instructions

Usage

  1. Open wp-content/themes//index.php. You should place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also if they exist.
  2. Find:
  3. Add Anywhere Below It:
  • The first value is the text for printing post.
  • The second value is the text for printing page.
  • Default: print_link(”, ”)
  • Alternatively, you can set the text in ‘WP-Admin -> Settings -> Print’.
  • If you DO NOT want the print link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just type in [print_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the print link into that post/page only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add this to my theme?

  1. Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
    You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also.
  2. Find: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  3. Add Anywhere Below It: <?php if(function_exists('wp_print')) { print_link(); } ?>

Simply add this code inside the loop ### where you want the print link to display:

if(function_exists('wp_print')) {
    print_link();
}

If you do not want to print a portion of your post’s content

[donotprint]Text within this tag will not be displayed when printing[/donotprint]

  • The text within [donotprint][/donotprint] will not be displayed when you are viewing a printer friendly version of a post or page.
  • However, it will still be displayed as normal on a normal post or page view.
  • Do note that if you are using WP-Email, any text within [donotprint][/donotprint] will not be emailed as well.

Custom Template

  • WP-Print will load ‘print-css.css’, ‘print-posts.php’ and ‘print-comments.php’ from your theme’s directory if it exists.
  • If it doesn’t exists, it will just load the respective default file that comes with WP-Print.
  • This will allow you to upgrade WP-Print without worrying about overwriting your printing styles or templates that you have created.

I wish there was an option to open the preview in a new tab.

I know that we can set this manually by using a Custom Print Text Link Style, but the plugin by code should automatically do it, or simply have a checkbox for it in the settings page, as my end users are not that bright to even copy paste the code that I give them! Other than that, this could be a 5 star plugin, a job almost perfectly done. Thanks, Nick
