Print My Blog is an amazing plugin that has given us the best of both worlds: timely continuous online publication of articles, and newsletter issues that provide a digest of recent posts and can be mailed or published online. This also eliminates the need to recruit a newsletter editor, as most functions are now automated, done by authors, or can be performed by a publication assistant with minimal effort or expertise required.

Most of our articles have images. The way Print My Blog flows images in the two-column “Mayer Magazine” design format that we use is brilliant. Even in the few cases where the layout might not be quite what we would do by hand, we can almost always improve it by re-arranging the order of articles in the issue, and only very occasionally by making minor edits to an article. The result is a layout that is pleasing for readers without requiring hand-layout of the issue.

Another thing that is impressive is the level of documentation provided, including a wide range of how-tos, as well as detailed technical documentation for customizing the plugin for various use cases. The ability to report problems through the plugin control panel and the level of diagnostics it provides enables the developers to provide detailed technical support quickly and efficiently.

And speaking of support, it is outstanding! I have seldom seen a plugin whose developers care more deeply about the quality of the product or the customer. It is really first-rate.

Many product features are available in the free version, but Print My Blog also offers various professional level paid options that provide additional functionality like creating ebooks, MS Word documents, and more advanced print options. Even if you do not need them now, knowing that they are available means that your investment in the plugin is protected if you do in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Print My Blog and the developers who created this plugin. If you need this functionality, this is the one to choose. Six stars!

Seraphinite did a much better job on formatting and solved the in-page links. It’s easy to use and gives more control of options than Mammoth. I just just glad I found a good solution.

If there is 2 words after the <sup>, it’s OK. For exemple :
< ul>
< li>I bought my 1^st red car.< /li>
< /ul>

No problem if the same sentence is not in a < li > or if there is no dot at the end.

WordPress 5.7.1
Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) 5.6.0

I tried using the blog url and the wordpress address url ( https://www.earth01.net/Rambling/WPfiles) followed by /xmlrpc.php .

I have confirmed that that file is in the WPfiles folder.

I can post normally, but have been unable to connect MSWord or LiveWriter.

Suggestions? iPage tried to help, but so far without success!

I have managed to get my blog posts to where I like the way they look by saving my MS Word 2000 (yea, it’s old blah blah blah) as HTML and then copying and pasting the generated HTML into the WordPress editor (w/ the text tab selected), then tweaking the HTML there to customize it further (I understand about all the extra inefficient HTML that is added by Word so please don’t bring it up here. I don’t know enough HTML to get rid of it without killing the extra fonts and styles I want).

(see My site )

My question is:

is there a css file or HTML settings file that can modified to add the extra Word-like styles and fonts to the in-place editor? That would be adding some serious bloat to have the Word generated header in every one of my blog posts. That would also solve a lot of the compatibility problems I see between Word and WordPress.

I just gave permission to a new Editor on my WordPress blog/site. Her username is Heather.

She has added to new posts, but they are not showing up on my blog.

Here is the blog: https://greatcollegeadvice.com/blog

Her new posts (as of yesterday and today) are:

https://greatcollegeadvice.com/choosing-the-right-college-location-how-independent-are-you/ and
https://greatcollegeadvice.com/students-with-learning-differences-getting-started-with-the-college-search/

I am using Firefox. I have gone back in as myself (Mark, the Administrator) and added a post, and it came up just fine as it should.

After searching the Forum a bit, I thought that the trouble might be that the text was copied from MS Word (for Mac) and not inserted correctly. But when I go into the HTML editor, I don’t find any weird code that I can delete to fix the problem.

I have not yet tried scrapping the posts and redoing them under Heather’s username, but I suppose that is the next step, unless any kind soul has better advice.

Thank you!

I have a desire to post articles from a word processor for a couple of reasons. Partly that it’s much easier for me to maintain formatting in a word processor, and partly because I need to be able to take documents from others, and don’t want to hand-correct bold / italics in a text file. These are long articles (stories) which will probably go through a series of revisions.

I’ve read a number of suggestions, most of which resolve to “paste into a text editor” before posting, but for each revision, that gets cumbersome. But every other suggestion I tried had problems, such as the conversion importing foreign unknown styles, or generating truly horrible HTML.

What I do now is relatively easy, and has worked for me without problems every time.

– Import the file into OpenOffice.
– Select all, change the style to “Text body”.
– Proof and tweak. (At this point I’d save the file in native OpenOffice format) and use it as the master for revisions.)
– Save as HTML. (Not XHTML.)
– Open the resulting HTML in a text editor. (I have Multi-Edit in “Send-To” under Windows, it saves a lot of effort.)
– Copy between <BODY> and </BODY>
– Create your blog article. Immediately open the HTML editor.
– Paste and Update.

OpenOffice’s HTML generation is clean and (using “Text body”) free of CSS. WordPress’s HTML conversion parses it perfectly – for all of the standard formatting I’ve tried. If you do anything more fancy, your mileage may vary.
