Landscape orientation on specific template?

    I’d like to be able to apply a landscape orientation to just one specific template, or based on a custom post meta value.

    In the FAQ you show the example of changing the orientation setting globally via the wp-config file, but I was wondering if it’s possible to set just one specific template to be landscape, and leave the rest as the default portrait?

    Thanks!

    Sure! You can define the orientation in an action hook somewhere else, just before the pdf run.

    For example in your functions.php:

    add_filter( 'template_include', '_choose_orientation');
function _choose_orientation( $template ) {
  if ( basename( $template ) === 'portrait-template-pdf.php' ) {
    define('DOMPDF_PAPER_ORIENTATION', 'portrait');
  } else {
    define('DOMPDF_PAPER_ORIENTATION', 'landscape');
  }
  return $template;
}

    Code above is not actually tested, but should in theory work.

    FYI this does not work for me. I’ve confirmed that the correct template is being used by printing echo basename( get_page_template() ); from within the pdf template in question. I tried testing for both the page template and the pdf page template, neither tests returned true, therefore paper orientation always defaulted to the value defined in the else statement.
