Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Print My Blog - Print, PDF, & eBook Converter WordPress Plugin
Yes, you can use PMB's Pro Print for free (it's included in this plugin) to create projects, and can print or make PDFs with them using your web browser. Your web browser will not, however, support all the features that Pro Print is capable of (e.g. adding page references, footnotes, and fully controlling page margins). ePub eBooks with Pro Print require payment. So, creating PDFs and printing with PMB Pro Print is free, but it's best when used with our Pro PDF Service which is paid. I have a question about Pro Print You're in luck, we have an entire user guide that walks you through the first project, then onto customizations, and even through making your own custom designs in HTML, CSS, and Javascript (with a bit of PHP). These FAQs are mostly about Quick Print and Print Buttons.
Quick Print just puts the content onto a single web page so your browser can print it or create a PDF from it. Because your browser is what creates the PDF, it depends on the browser. Check out the instructions that apply to you: Google Chrome https://youtu.be/ngId20fP5I8 Mozilla Firefox https://youtu.be/ekwg2a1FPV0 Note: Images may be missing from very large PDFs. See the FAQ "My PDFs are missing images" below for help. If you use Pro Print, you can download the PDF using our Pro Print Service.
One option is to upgrade for the Pro Print Service, which adds more professional-looking content to the margins (e.g. page numbers, running headers, and logos). You probably don't want the site's title, date, and URL appearing in printouts. Here is how to remove it for various browsers: Google Chrome (for paper and PDF) https://youtu.be/2Kvun-nhCWk Mozilla Firefox (paper) https://youtu.be/vp-wGdS8ugE Mozilla Firefox (PDF) https://youtu.be/sU02oSPWj34
Creating ePub eBooks requires payment, or you can create ePub eBooks using Quick Print and dotEPUB browser extension https://youtu.be/M5ZZN3KsqOA Note: if your printout has many images, dotEpub warns you it will replace them with links. Once the eBook has been generated, you can read it from your computer (here's instructions on how to read ePubs and MOBI files), or a phone or tablet. Some images aren't appearing Print My Blog can work too fast for some webservers, meaning the webservers refuse to load all the content, most noticeably some images. In order to fix this, you need to tell Print My Blog to slow down. On the configuration page, show options, then scroll
value you need to in order to get all the images to load). My PDFs are missing images This is usually a problem with browsers, which our Pro PDF Service hasn't experienced. So you may want to try Pro Print with the Pro PDF Service. If your print-page has hundreds of images, browsers may generate PDFs that are missing images at the end. To fix this, just retry "Generate the PDF". Each time the browser will fetch more images. Continue re-generating the PDF until the images at the end are included. The Print Page says "There seems to be an error initializing...", or is stuck on "Loading Content", or I can't filter by categories or terms from the print setup page This isn't a problem for Pro Print (even when printing using your browser for free.) If you'd rather use Quick Print, keep reading... A plugin has probably disabled the WP REST API, which Print My Blog uses for loading data. This is often done by a security plugin.
"All in One WP Security" has a setting called "Disallow Unuahtorized REST API requests". Disable it. Wordfence has a setting on their "All Options" page, under "Brute Force Proection", called "Prevent discovery of usernames through ‘/?author=N’ scans, the oEmbed API, and the WordPress REST API". Disable it. iThemes security has a setting under "WordPress Tweaks" called "REST API". Switch it to "Default Access" if you want to let site visitors print your blog. If none of the above help identify the issue, please use Print My Blog plugin's Help page or the WordPress.org support forum to report the problem. Along with that, it can also be helpful to follow the steps in the following video in order to provide more information about the error. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNK39YuuhMM
There may be text, images, and other stuff that looks great when viewed from a screen, but doesn't make sense to have in the printout. E.g. related posts, share buttons, etc. To remove them from printouts, add the CSS class "pmb-screen-only". Alternatively, you can use the shortcodes [pmb_web_only_text]...text, text, text...[/pmb_web_only_text] and [pmb_web_only_blocks]...paragraphs, images, other blocks...[/pmb_web_only_blocks]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxNBkGafH_A If you're handy at writing CSS, add some additional CSS to your theme that uses the "pmb-print-page" class which is added to the body tag of the print page. For example, if you want to hide all divs with CSS class "my-video" in printouts, but not on the regular website, add the following CSS to your theme: .pmb-print-page div.my-video{ display:none; } Also, if it's content automatically added by a plugin or theme, please let us know in the support forum, and we can hide that content in the next release of Print My Blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMBxCp7AVPE&feature=youtu.be
Use the shortcodes [pmb_print_only_text]...text, text, text...[/pmb_print_only_text] and [pmb_print_only_blocks]...paragraphs, images, other blocks...[/pmb_print_only_blocks]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxNBkGafH_A Alternatively, add the CSS class "pmb-print-only". See the above question for more details.
In Pro Print, the background colors are dictated by your project's design, which might be easily customizable. Go to your project's "Customize Design" step and see what settings are available. You can also switch to a different design on the "Choose Design" step, or add some custom CSS to your design (body{background-color:black;}).* If you're using Quick Print, the background colors are controlled by your WordPress theme and the browser. Your theme may use different styles when printed, including setting the background to white in order to conserve ink. But if not, your browser can also remove background colors. For Google Chrome: when printing, click on "More Options", then uncheck "Background graphics" For Firefox: when viewing the print preview, click "Page Setup" then uncheck "Print Background (colors & images)". For Firefox Extension "Print to PDF": click on "Add-ons", then click "Print to PDF", then "Options", and uncheck "Whether the background colors should be shown"
Add the CSS class "pmb-page-break" onto the the element/block you want to be at the top of the page.
