you feel insane? let’s fix that!
first of all, what does your shortcode look like?
second of all, can you share a link?
and finally, you are probably not insane, so don’t worry too much… we’ll help you get this resolved.
Awesome, thanks!
it’s for the whole website, ncsd.org. Sorry I thought I included a link.
[print-me do_not_print=”.footer”] is what I was using for the footer specifically. When that wasn’t working, I didn’t try it for the menu bar yet.
Where is the print trigger?
The print-icon in the left sidebar is not from this plugin…
… where is the print-me shortcode placed?
I guess I didn’t realize I needed to do that — I’m so sorry! In the settings, what and where would I place that — I have ‘yes’ marked on the use print icon section
ah, ok… so the theme, or some other plugin (dpsp) is creating the left side panel with its own print icon. there might be a way to filter the default print function but that would be beyond this community support.
Are you able to add custom items to this side-tab?
I can’t but I can disable the print part of the plugin (it’s the Grow by Mediavine plugin) or I can do away with it all together as the printing is more important than that sidebar.
Regardless, you will need to place the [print-me] shortcode someplace on the page to test that it does what you need it to. Try placing it on a post or page and go from there.
I’m back! Okay, so I did kind of figure it out…
I’ve implemented on this page and it works: https://ncsd.org/a-message-from-the-national-cancer-institute-2020
However, I think where I was getting confused is adjusting the settings where I don’t have to put in the shortcode for every single page/post…that’s where I seem to be not putting in the correct thing?
Any insight?
step by step!
adjusting the settings where I don’t have to put in the shortcode for every single page/post
There is not a setting to automatically include the print icon after every post or page. However, the shortcode can be easily included in this way using one of the following methods:
1. modify the child-theme single.php to include the shortcode using WordPress’ built in do_shortcode() function.
2. add a filter to the child-theme function.php to automatically append the print-me shortcode after each post or page.
If either of these solutions are a bit beyond your comfort zone, and you do not have a developer to assist you, then consider going pro as it comes with a very high level of personal support that is alone worth the upgrade, even getting the above setup on your site.
