Hey,

I hope you all well. It seems that Read Offline in not updated here, but it has newer releases than 0.7.7 from Soderlind and it should work with wordpress 5.6, but not with php 8 at the moment. With php 7.4.x Read Offline version 0.8.2 works well and php 8 release seems to be also in work.

Hi, I’m loving this plugin so far, but I have a few issues to solve. All PDFs give me a 404 Not Found error. Also, the options under General >> Save in Media Library and Download link, icons only? do not allow me to select Yes. The bullet will not populate my click and reverts to No on save.

Wordpress 5.5.3, no multisite, modules up to date.

Hello,

I have encountered this error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare mb_str_split() (previously declared in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testwp/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-pay-per-post/vendor/symfony/polyfill-mbstring/bootstrap.php:63) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/testwp/wp-content/plugins/read-offline/lib/phpMobi/MOBIClass/RecordFactory.php on line 135

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi

This plugin does not work with php 7.4, last version that works is 7.3.12. Will there be any updates for this?

Thank you,
MarxVeix

In error.log i have this errors

PHP Warning: Illegal string offset ‘ID’ in /wp-content/plugins/read-offline/lib/mpdf610/classes/cssmgr.php on line 1302

Why?

Hi,

Is it possible to change icon size? At the moment i use pdf only. I would like to show them bigger. Thank you!

With gratitude and love,

I am running WordPress 4.9.1 with the Mikmag theme on a server that runs PHP 5.2.
I installed the Read Offline plugin, but when I try to activate it, it says “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /usr/www/virtual/blushing/bethanyswoodshed.com/wp-content/plugins/read-offline/read-offline.php on line 39”

I was able to install and activate it just fine when I was working on the site locally using DesktopServer, and it’s perfect for what I need it to do, so I’m really hoping it will work on the live site – any ideas? Do I need an older version of the plugin because the live server is using an old version of PHP?

sorry its working now

Anybody got that plugin working with ACF? I use acf-views plugin to show all ACF fields on a custom template but only get a blank page when downloading as PDF.

I wanted to have Read Offline display the PDF/EPUB/Print links on nearly every page except the home page and a few others. I didn’t readily see a way to do this via the plugin’s settings, but some simple CSS took care of it.

So, to NOT display the offline links on specific pages, do the following:

1. Under the plugin’s settings, set it to display on the top or bottom of all pages (or posts).
2. Edit the page/post on which you do NOT want the offline links to appear.
3. On the text tab, at the top of the page/post, paste the following code:

<style scoped>.readoffline-embed { display: none !important;}</style>

4. Save the page/post.

The page should now no longer show the offline links.

I have wrote the new post, but it can’t save in “Media Libary”.
The wordpress version: 4.8.1

Hi,
I am using the latest Read Offline plugin.
When I click the PDF link, I get the PDF but with no images (I see red x instead).

What could be the reason?
How can I debug this issue?

Thanks

I found this error in log

file_get_contents(https://cdn.lospaziobianco.it/wp-content/themes/flex-mag-child/style.css): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/read-offline/inc/class-read-offline-create.php on line 72

Why?

Hi,

as we had some SEO issues with your plugin, it would be nice to make it possible to set the download links to rel=”nofollow”. In our case, google crawled the PDF files (same as the post) with duplicate content and showed the pdf links instead of the post links. I have set it manually in the class-read-offline-ux.php, but it would be better to have a checkbox in the backend, because this change is lost after the next plugin update.

Another solution would be to show the download links only for registered users. Maybe with a checkbox in the backend to set it for non or registered users. In our case, i’ve inserted an if case [is_user_logged_in()] to check this.

Thanks!

How may i change how content are formatted by export? Ex: image align, text blocks, page breack…

On site https://www.lospaziobianco.it export pdf are not so well formatted…

How can I change this

.readoffline-embed div {
    display: inline;
    padding: 0 0 1px 20px;
}

with this

.readoffline-embed div {
    display: inline;
    padding: 0 0 1px 10px;
}

by custom css?

When I open the pdf file created by your plugin (version 0.7.6), using Adobe Reader for Mac (OS 10.6) I get this error message: “could not open ‘[name of my file].pdf’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded)”. The same using Adobe Acrobat or PhotoShop, but I can open it using Preview.
Any suggestion?
thx

How can I change “download odf” and “print” labels?

Is it possible to allign buttons on the top right?

I like this plugin very much. Thanks a lot!

Now I am trying to set up my own custom CSS for pdf and printing: everything fine except @page: no reactions to anything I try.

Example: Inside the CSS-Field (printing), I wrote:

@page {
    size: auto;
    margin: 25mm 25mm 20mm 25mm;
    orphans: 4;
    widows: 2;
}

No reaction, margins are still very small.
Probably I am just stupid.
Thanks for a hint.

Hello,
The plugin works great on pages and regular posts, but not on custom post types.
Do you have any ideas how I can add custom post type support to it?
Thanks

Hi, this plugin is great !
to support RTL languages (Persian, Arabic …) I made this changes:

1. to solve PDF problems :

• File Name: inc/class-read-offline-create.php
  Line: 276
  Change From: '', // $default_font=''
  To: is_rtl()?'tahoma': '', // $default_font=''
• File Name: inc/class-read-offline-create.php
  Line: 346
  Add: is_rtl()?$pdf->SetDirectionality('rtl'):'';

2. to solve mobi and epub problem :
In the HTML codes, The <body> should be replaced with <body dir='rtl'>

• File Name: inc/class-read-offline-create.php
  Lines: 64, 156
  Change From: <body>
  To: <body ' . (is_rtl() ? "dir='rtl'" : "") . '>
• File Name: inc/class-read-offline-create.php
  Lines: 154, 185, 885, 889
  Change From: <body>
  To: <body ". (is_rtl() ? 'dir=\'rtl\'' : '') . ">

3. solve show name (hint link) in arabic and persian:

• File : inc/class-read-offline-ux.php
  Line: 82
  Change From: $post->post_name
  To: urldecode($post->post_name)

I used the is_rtl() function. read more about it:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/is_rtl
so this changes could be included in main plugin svn,

May you do it please?

thank you ??

For some reason, I’m getting an nginx 404 error when I try to use the PDF link on a site on which I’m working. The site is set up on WPEngine, which is running both Apache and nginx, and I have another version of the site running the Read Offline plugin without a problem.

Are there issues with nginx or has anyone else run into a 404 error when trying to produce PDFs? I can provide more details as necessary.

Thanks

XX displaying on top of post before category

Thank you for this plugin!

I have an issue where when I view a category, a “XX” appears before the category name after the file icon.

e.g. https://novelidea.net/writersprogram/category/2015/

The XX disappears when the plugin is disabled, but re-appears when plugin re-enabled.

am I doing something wrong?

thanks again,

Sue

Hello,

is there a way to exclude spezific parts of a post/page, e.g. with an shortcode like [readoffline_exclude]This text should not be added[readoffline_exclude/]? I dont want to get this content in PDF version etc.

And otherwise – include content, that shall only be part of PDF/Print etc. e.g. [readoffline_include]This text should only be added in PDF documents and so on[readoffline_include/].

Thank you for any ideas.
