The website is running Woocommerce with the Woocommerce Appontments plugin. It was not feasible to disable plugins.

I ended up resetting the password in the database using MD5 and this has resolved the issue.

I have no idea what the cause was.

This has worked perfectly. Thank you as always for the fantastic support.

This works as described, thank you AGAIN.

I will need to do more to add some privacy to the PDF as it will be quite easy to throw a user number in I guess.

I have tried [is login] around the loop in index-pdf.php. I have also tried the redirect to a url before the loop.

Am I barking up the wrong tree in terms of adding some privacy to the PDF content? Or does the plugin file need further modification for this to work? Or do I need commercial development?

Either way you have solved all my issues, none of which were with your plugin ??

IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU!!!

I removed the cookies line out of wp-config.php
Added the code to wp-pdf-templates.php
Added the link to a new page
Added the below to index-pdf.php in place of <?php the_content(); ?>

<?php start_short(); ?>
[pass global="_GET" field="uid"]
[loop type="html5-blank" author="{FIELD}"]
[field title]
[content]
[/loop]
[/pass]
<?php end_short(); ?>

So now it is just the issue if a user is not logged in as you mentioned. It’s dawning on me it will be as easy as anyone adding /pdf to the end of any page url on the site… is that right?

Sorry to bombard you with all that!!

Okay, so I am using the current Version: 1.3.9 which shows file_get_contents on line 227 (you were looking at 127?)

The errors occur only when using the /pdf endpoint.
There are no page slugs containing pdf.

I am going to try this on a blank WP install and see what happens. I’ll report back.

When I put it in wp-config.php it hangs for ages and then displays a white screen with lots of lines containing absolute server paths.

I have obscured the username and directory with …. but am happy to share with you if required.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your feedback and patience. You are going above an beyond… It’s exciting to hear you think we are close…

Here is what I have done.

I included the url as previous in a page:
<a href="[field url]/pdf?uid=[user id]">Link to PDF</a>
The link does contain the user id however there is an extra / after pdf and before the ? :

https://example.com/article-name/pdf/?uid=1

Then in the index-pdf.php I added the line suggested as follows:

<?php start_short(); ?>
[pass global="_GET" field="uid"]
USER ID: {FIELD}
[loop type="html5-blank" category="chapter" author="{FIELD}"]
[field title]
[content]
[/loop]
[/pass]
<?php end_short(); ?>

In the PDF it does not display anything after the wordsUSER ID:. It just continues into the loop…

What do you think?

FYI, I am yet to receive a response from the PDF plugin author.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I have not yet heard from the PDF plugin author in response to this. So I have given your last suggestion a whirl with the following:

<?php start_short(); ?>
[pass global="_GET" field="uid"]
[loop type="html5-blank" category="chapter" author="{FIELD}"]
[field title]
[content]
[/loop]
[/pass]
<?php end_short(); ?>

The result displayed the two CPT posts for the chapter category, however it did not filter for the current user.

Full disclosure: I am not a programmer (that’s why I love your amazing plugin), so I am fudging my way through this troubleshooting process. I can’t thank you enough for your amazing support. Your plugin is doing exactly as it should and I appreciate your assistance to date.

I have been able to narrow down my issue. The loop shortcode is working fine, filtering my posts by CPT and category. However if I try to display the posts for the current user, nothing is displayed.

I have tried placing this code into my theme index-pdf.php and get the same result.

What do I need to do to get the PDF to only display posts for the current user.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, I had already explored these options however the content was not appearing, even when placed in my theme index-pdf.php.

So, I have done some further testing and have been able to narrow down the issue to author="this". When I remove this from the loop in the WordPress page editor the PDF displays correctly with the filtered posts by CPT and category and matches the content displayed on the page.

I used the code at this link to test if I could hard-code the index-pdf.php (instead of the shortcodes) and it also displays without posts filtered by user.

Is there something else I need to do to make the content display for the current logged in user? Or is this beyond the scope of this forum?

I feel like it is so close…

Thank you it works perfectly in a page template as (just like the original shortcode in the WP editor).

The WP PDF Template plugin is not recognising content generated by the shortcodes for either of these methods.

I have asked the plugin developer for some assistance.

Would you be interested in developing a solution for this problem I they don’t have one?
