Displays a printable version of your WordPress blog's post/page.
Once installed take the following steps to set it up:
- WP-Print settings page is located in WP-Admin -> Settings -> Print
- You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink (WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes)
- Refer To Usage For Further Instructions
Usage
- Open
wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php. You should place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also if they exist.
- Find:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
- Add Anywhere Below It:
<?php if(function_exists('wp_print')) { print_link(); } ?>
- The first value is the text for printing post.
- The second value is the text for printing page.
- Default: print_link(”, ”)
- Alternatively, you can set the text in ‘WP-Admin -> Settings -> Print’.
- If you DO NOT want the print link to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just type in [print_link] into the selected post/page content and it will embed the print link into that post/page only.

How do I add this to my theme?
- Open
wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
You may place it in single.php, post.php, page.php, etc also.
- Find:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
- Add Anywhere Below It:
<?php if(function_exists('wp_print')) { print_link(); } ?>
Simply add this code inside the loop ### where you want the print link to display:
if(function_exists('wp_print')) {
print_link();
}
If you do not want to print a portion of your post’s content
[donotprint]Text within this tag will not be displayed when printing[/donotprint]
- The text within [donotprint][/donotprint] will not be displayed when you are viewing a printer friendly version of a post or page.
- However, it will still be displayed as normal on a normal post or page view.
- Do note that if you are using WP-Email, any text within [donotprint][/donotprint] will not be emailed as well.
Custom Template
- WP-Print will load ‘print-css.css’, ‘print-posts.php’ and ‘print-comments.php’ from your theme’s directory if it exists.
- If it doesn’t exists, it will just load the respective default file that comes with WP-Print.
- This will allow you to upgrade WP-Print without worrying about overwriting your printing styles or templates that you have created.
