    Hi!

    I’m trying to use your plugin to generate some reports based on custom post types.
    When i’m using ?pdf-preview , it works fine, however when i try to generate a pdf using ?pdf, it will show just a blank white pdf page. WP_DEBUG generates this:

    Notice: Undefined index: Cache-Control in XXXX/wp-content/plugins/wp-pdf-templates/wp-pdf-templates.php on line 315

    Thanks for checking out our plugin!

    This is a small bug that has already been fixed in the next release version of the plugin. In the meantime, you should disable warning messages on production sites with error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE); in your wp-config.php

    Sorry for the inconvenience. The final fix for this came into existence just over the weekend.

    Cheers!

    Hi!

    Thanks for that fast reply. I just tried adding error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE); to my config file, but sadly it still generates an empty pdf page. Just tried it on localhost and its working fine. So i’m guessing its a server/hosting issue. Any idea whats need to be enabled to generate the pdf file correctly?

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    Make sure you have turned WP_DEBUG off and display_errors is set to 0. In production environments, you generally shouldn’t have those set anyways.

    Hope this helps.

    Its turned off, all ready to go but the pdf file is still blank:(

    Hmm, did you try to hard refresh the page? Try sending no-cache headers to the script by cmd + shift + R (ctrl + F5 on windows) to make sure the blank pdf file hasn’t been cached.

    You can also try setting define('DISABLE_PDF_CACHE', true); in your wp-config.php

    Sure, i did, tried with different posts too. I still think its a hosting issue, because the same exact site works on my localhost. Any tips what to look for, dompdf needs any special php functions that might be turned off in some cases?

    Hard to say. I’ve never run into this issue. Look at your php error log to see if there’s anything interesting in there.

    define('DISABLE_PDF_CACHE', true); didn’t work either?

    Yes, tried with disable_pdf_cache too, no luck. Also tried with a different theme and disabled all other plugins to avoid any conflict, still no luck:(

    Hm. I just tried it on another site with the same hosting and its working! So i’m not exactly sure whats going on, but looks like a theme or plugin issue after all. I’ll try to get back to you once i figure out whats going on:)

    I’ve just updated the plugin to version 1.3.8, with a patch to the aforementioned issue. See if updating the plugin will help.

    I found the issue!:)

    I’m using Theme My Login to create a private site and when TML / Settings / Security / Private Site is checked(you’ll be redirected to a login page always if not logged in), it will generate a blank pdf:) Weird, because with another theme, i can see the login form on the pdf file, but my theme is completely blank. Anyway, i turned off the private site option and the pdf is generated properly:) I’ll try to come up with a solution and i’ll post it here so people can find it if needed.

    Glad to hear it! 🙂

    A solution already exists in the plugin itself for sites that utilise some sort of access control. Just enable define('FETCH_COOKIES_ENABLED', true); in your wp-config.php and you should be fine.

    Cheers!
