I am trying to print articles, but the result is always a blank page, with the exception of the breadcrumbs.
I have attempted to initiate the print with both the Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut, and the Theme Panel > Social Networks > Print native button, which is basically two ways to do the same thing. Is there any option I need to have enabled in order to allow me to print the articles? I am mostly interested in the article content, and maybe the featured image.
Edit: Playing around with the various options available in the print window popup, I discovered that when the paper size is either of the A0, A1, A2, A3, or Tabloid, then the content (both the featured image and the post content) is visible. With all other options (A4, A5, Legal, and Letter) the page preview appears to be that described above (blank page). The dimension we are interested in printing is A4.
Please review and advise.
Thanks!
In addition to the edit content I shared above, I noticed that that is the case with the orientation set to landscape. When the orientation is set to portrait, then the only page sizes that contain the post content are A0, A1, and A2. All other page sizes appear to be blank.
Apparently all that means that the page itself is too wide to fit on smaller physical pages? How can we discard the sidebar completely, and all of the left/right margins?
Hello!
I’ve tested on my end the print button and it is working well even in A4 format.
Please make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Check some other possible factors which can interfere in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/
I can see when you print in More Settings dropdown, some settings for margins which can be set as none and you can custom scale the page.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
I played a little with the scale option and I discovered that it all comes down to the original content width. Basically when the physical page becomes too small for all of the content to fit, everything is blank. If I scale it down (the threshold being at 77% for an A4 page) then the content is being displayed correctly. This rules out the possibility of a conflict between tagdiv and any plugins. So the next question is, how can I configure the page in such a way that on print, the sidebar and left-right margins are ignored, and only the actual content is included in the print job? That means only the post title, the featured image (maybe) and the article content only.
Thanks.
Hello!
Unfortunately, we do not have any feature like that in our theme. Maybe you can find a plugin which can do this for you or an extension for your browser.
Thank you!
This did not work. I tried all of the options stated above but it did not work
