Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-Print

Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php, and single.php, page.php and any other template that runs the loop. Find <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> and add this anywhere below it: if ( function_exists( 'wp_print' ) ) { print_link(); } The print link 404s Re-save your permalinks at WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks. WP-Print adds a /print/ endpoint, and WordPress only writes the rewrite rules out when that screen is saved.

Type this into the post: [donotprint]Text within this tag will not be displayed when printing[/donotprint] The enclosed text is dropped from the printable version and shown as normal everywhere else.

Yes, two ways. Copy print-css.css into your theme to replace the stylesheet outright, or set any of the custom properties the bundled sheet uses — --wp-print-font-family, --wp-print-font-size, --wp-print-line-height, --wp-print-text, --wp-print-background, --wp-print-rule and --wp-print-gap — to retune it without forking the file.

No. The two bundled GIFs are one inline SVG that takes its colour from your theme and stays sharp at any size, so there is nothing left to choose between and the Print Icon setting is gone.

They are one HTML template, on the Templates tab. The style dropdown offered three fixed markups and a custom template; the three were templates too, written in PHP rather than in the box, so all four are now the box. Write the wording you want into it and use %POST_TYPE% where the words Post or Page used to differ. Your existing settings are converted on upgrade.

Nothing, because there is nothing left for it to stand for: it inserted whichever of the two link labels applied, and the wording now lives in the template itself. Use %POST_TYPE% for the part that changes between a post and a page. A template still containing %PRINT_TEXT% renders it on the page as written, which is deliberate — it is how you find the ones that need editing.
