General Settings

Our WordPress posts to PDF plugin options panel can be found in the WP admin area > Print Posts. If you do not see it, make sure the free Redux Framework plugin is installed and activated.

In General settings you can enable the Plugin, enable PDF, Word or Print functionality and choose an icon position, size and display. Furthermore you can configure on what post types the export buttons should show or exclude certain categories.

    I just purchased your printposts plugin, I have redux framework installed but cannot activate your plugin, I get the following error message:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/41/7047441/html/wp-content/wordpress-print-posts/public/class-wordpress-print-posts-public.php on line 497

    I am unable to get support as the get syupport link on the cCode Canyon site for your support is not working.

    Hi,

    We purchased product recently. On our site, we are using the plug in to create pdfs of research we post, sample: REMOVED

    Why do the graphs not appear in the pdf? This is important for our use.

    Hi Daniel, just bought the plugin hoping it would make printing posts easy, I’m not a programmer so I’m reaching out for your support, maybe you can help…I’m currently building my site with WordPress and Elementor. Using your shortcode in the post text-editor, i always get the following notice: “This site can’t provide a secure connection localhost sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR ” What Do I have to do here, any ideas? Cheers Casey

      That depends on the gallery itself. For example when it comes out of a page builder, it could work out of the box. Otherwise it may need some custom CSS.
