Hi Andrew,

thanks for all your support. I think I have to study the the information on the link you sent, and to check the instructions for alterations on the theme first: when I added the code you gave to the functions.php file in the child theme, I got a white screen and the site went offline.

I restored the php-file through ftp, so the sites works again as it should.

I’ll have to leave it for now, hope to be able to send you some good news tomorrow …

May thanks for now!

yes, I just deactivated the plugin.

can you acces the file by this link?

Mostly blank pages.

I printed to pdf, and put it in a Dropbox for you to see:

Printing to a normal printer is the same.

Thank you WPyogi, but this generates a printing button. I would like to just style the output when visitors use the printing command on their computer or other device.

this does change something, that is: hader/footer/sidebars are not shown. But on Ctrl-P, I still get 26 mostly blank pages, and no bodytekst, only the name of the category.

(By the way, I checked in firefox, the color on the homepage is all right, but there too, viewing the source of the homepage, there are several styleheets in html comments. I really don’t know what I could possibly have done to cause this….)

Printing in Chrome and Firefox give the problem as described, printing in IE gives another effect, that is: sidebar left and menu are still visible, but at least there aren’t 26 pages, only 2.

(and I won’t follow the tutorial ?? )

I think there might be another problem.

I use Google Chrome. When I use view:source, I can see the style.css in line 43, but without the comment tags you apparently see.
This line is just like all the other <link rel=’stylesheet’ etc. items.

I just tried IE, and on the homepage, I can see these comments for all the stylesheet items, but only on the homepage: as far as I can see, there is no problem on other pages or posts.
The homepage is also now in another color in the header an footer sections.

I have no idea if these problems are related.

I haven’t the faintest idea. Where did you find this? When I lview the souce of any page, I don’t see the comment-tags.

O, and I emptied cache. Just to be sure.

yes, I did.

that’s what I should do, according to the tutorial. Perhaps that’s not really necessary, but I don’t know how to get the css to work right.
For exampe: I added the following to prevent widgets and other unwanted stuff to be printed:

#access,
    #branding img,
    #respond,
    .comment-edit-link,
    .edit-link,
    .navigation,
    .page-link,
    .widget-area {
        display: none !important;

but I still get 26 pages in my print, due to widgets, header, footet etc., instead of just the content of my post.
Perhaps I don’t understand enough of css to make the right adjustments ??
but I really want to get rid of all the stuff that surrounds the actual post.

Hi Andrew,

I’m using the child theme of Hueman, so adding the css-info is not the problem. I just don’t know which php-file I should change, that is: where I can find
‘<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘stylesheet_url’ ); ?>” />’. According to the tutorial, I should add ‘, print’ to media=”screen”.

I tried adding the print-css you suggested to the child stylesheet, but that doesn’t work in the way that I want: it gives a printing command all right, but it still prints all the widgets etc. I just want the content of the post itself (title, picture, text), in a way that is defined by a special stylesheet.

Hope you can help.

it works! Thanks Steve!

Hi Steve,

my site is on https://waternatuurlijkgrootsalland.nl/

Except for some styling on tables, I haven’t changed the style.css.

Thanks,
Marion

I used the shortcode that nocleats posted, and this works fine. But it only works thanks to this shortcode that I paste into the post: I still get a blank pop up page when using the icon in the kitchen sink (Tiny MCE) for adding the countdown to a page or post.
As I only need one countdown, that is no problem for me, but I don’t think thats what the developper meant to happen.
