Inconsistent Output

  • The pages I’m doing screen shots of don’t show up correctly. I does not work at all. What I see on screen is not what is in its screenshot. Does not update if page changes.
    Cant resize and show proportionally.
    Renders some pages, others not. No rhyme or reason as to which is what.
    Takes long time if renders at all.
    Wanted to use on pages created on own site to produce pdfs. Will not update as pages are changed.
    Good idea but does not work well at all in real time.
    Need to be able to capture any part of screen as well as whole. Developed blank theme for use in producing accurate pdfs from actual screen shots. Pages will be in constant change. That’s the purpose.
    Not consistent enough to do what it says it does.

  • I used this plugin for years and I can tell that it does exactly what is says to do. Not does what you expect to do.

    The plugin just access a service from wordpress.com which generate those screenshots. Not generate screenshots by itself, only access this service and help you to integrate easily this service on your own site. The crawler from wordpress come to refresh the screenshots very rare… once a week or even rarely, not even close to be a real time service… If in the second when the crawler came, the site wasn’t accessible for some reason (even because exactly at that moment your server was busy with a backup and the website was slow), the screenshot will show a 404 error till to next visit of crawler. If you have on frontpage a flash animation – the service will generate a blank screen instead… and so on…
    In conclusion, you cannot use the plugin in the way you want.

    Thanks for responding Ciprian – you’re exactly right. This is just a wrapper for a third party service and so is not something I can help with or change.
