Description

Printer Friendly

Strips theme styling from post and page content while retaining any plugin CSS to allow Shortcode content to be printed as it's displayed. This is to save printer ink and only print the post content in a user friendly way.

Printing Posts

After installing the plugin simply go to the setting page and tick the active box. This will add the print icon to all posts, allowing for a very quick installation. Configure the color and sizing options to get the print icon and text looking as you want it to.

Now when someone clicks the print button it'll open a print dialog to allow the post to be printed.

To disable the print button on specific posts, simply find the post and edit it. In the post edit screen there will be a new box added to the bottom right of the page to disable the print icon for this post.

Printing Pages

Unlike posts, with pages you have to add a shortcode [printicon align="left"] to the pages that you want the print icon to be displayed on. This has the option of align to align the icon either 'left' or 'right'.

The shortcode itself can be added before or after the content to place it and gets its color and sizing from the setting menu.

Customize the Icon

When the plugin is activated it will a menu to the admin side menu called 'Print'. In this menu you can set the icon size, change the icon color, set the text label as well as changing alignment and placement.

The print icon used is part of Font Awesome.
