How to place a print button

    Hallo Lester

    I think I’m quite close with the installation process, but no printing button yet.

    I installed via the following path; /httpdocs/wp-content/themes/catch-responsive/ in the document; index.php, below <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> the line <?php if(function_exists(‘wp_print’)) { print_link(); } ?>. Just according to your description.

    Via the path /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-print/ I can find several “print css” files. And because the wp-print menu is also installed, I think the installation of wp-print has been correct.

    I presume that I have to place a link or some code at the place were I would like to have the print button in the WP page, but for now there is no button visible. Do I miss something? Can you please advise?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to contact your theme author on the best place to put th print link because I will not know better them him as I don’t use your theme and it differs from theme to theme.

    Thank you Lester for the prompt answer.

    I placed again the code [print_link] in a page and now I have a print button at this location in the web page. I don’t know why it failed before.

    One last question. What is the exact function of the code line <?php if(function_exists(‘wp_print’)) { print_link(); } ?> in the file index.php

    That function does what the shortcode [print_link] does. But adding that PHP code in your theme, you do not need to keep typing [print_link] in every post.

    Thank you Lester. And how can I determine the position in the lay-out of the theme? As far as I can see this is not possible via the plug-in menu.

    Contact your theme author because he/she is the best person to advice you =)
