Plugin No Longer Prints/PDFs Previews of Posts

  • Hello, with previous versions of the plugin, our client had been able to print or create PDFs of previews of posts, but this is no longer possible. This is important because some posts require approval prior to publishing.

    Is this an issue that can be fixed or is there a way this functionality could be made available again?

    Thanks!

    I should clarify, because the word “preview” is used to describe what this plugin does… my support question has to do with printing or viewing a PDF of a post that has not yet been published — the “preview” version of the post. Need to know if this is possible with either the free or paid plugin.

    Thanks!

    As long as the button is there, in the preview. You can also get the browser extension to use PrintFriendly on WP preview pages.

    The button is there in a previewed post, but the plugin doesn’t work when previewing a post using the current version, 3.13.0. The plugin does work when viewing the preview of a post in version 3.7.4.

    I tested the Chrome extension on two WordPress installs — one with the current plugin active, and another without the current plugin. The Chrome extension breaks when previewing a post with the current plugin active. (I was able to produce this outcome in two separate WP installs with the current plugin.) The extension works fine when previewing a post on which the plugin has not been installed or activated.

    Well, I couldn’t get version 3.7.4 to work on my server — it only works in my localhost — so I went into the current version of the plugin and prevented the plugin from loading the footer script if the page was a preview. This allowed the Chrome extension to work. (There appears to be some conflict between the footer script and the Chrome extension.)

    A more permanent solution to this issue might be nice, as I’d rather not have to edit the plugin with every update.

    If you’re using PrintFriendly on password protected pages, it requires a Pro subscription. https://www.printfriendly.com/button/pro

    I’m wondering if this is the problem?
