disable print for tables

Hi,

thanks for your question.

Unfortunately, there’s no safe way to this. Everything that’s on a website can be printed. One can make it harder, but if somebody really wants something printed, they will get it. As a last resort they could make a screenshot and print that, and there’s no way to prevent that.

Now, one idea to make printing a table harder would indeed be a CSS @media query:

@media print {
  .tablepress-id-123 {
    display: none;
  }
}

But again, this will only stop people who don’t know how to use developer tools in webbrowsers.

Regards,
Tobias

Tobias,

The above CSS entry worked well for the first few days.

Now however, after I hit “Save Changes” in custom CSS
and check the area where I entered the code this is all that is left:

@media print {

The rest of the code is missing.
It does not stop Control-P from printing
all the TablePress tables.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Bob

Hi Bob,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

That’s strange…
Are you really copy/pasting the code like in the example above, without any additions?
Can you also please try again with a user who is an “Administrator” (in case you are not yet doing that)?

Regards,
Tobias
