wp-print problem

Well, like I said, I was going to post an update either way and the 500 errors went away. But for some reason yet, I’m getting the 404 error page after clicking the “Print this Article” link. Here below is what I tried.

1) RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([^/]+)/print/?$ /wp-print.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [QSA,L]
2) RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([^/]+)/print/?$ /blog/wp-print.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [QSA,L]
3) a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>print/”>Print This Article
4) a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>/print/”>Print This Article

The only thing I didn’t do exactly was:
// Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php

Find:
——————————————————————
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
——————————————————————
Add Below It:
——————————————————————
a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>print/”>Print This Article

I had added the “print link” into the coding for right underneath the post instead of having it show above the post. Like here below:

<p class=”postmetadata”><img valign=”middle” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/file.gif”/> Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,’|‘); ?> <img valign=”middle” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/file.gif”/> a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>print/”>Print This Article
<img valign=”middle” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/comments.gif”/> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?>

If you want, just click my Blog link on the user name in sidebar here and you’ll see it below the post. =) I’m not really sure of the position of the print link would screw it up, but who knows… =)

P.S. I removed the < a > and < / a > tags so you can see it better. Also, the Blog folder was in the root folder, so I made the /blog/wp-print.php changes to the htaccess file. Yet, I still can’t figure out why it wasn’t working for the print link, it takes me to the 404 page. =( Dang, I wish I had some beer or vodka, this usually helps me in these situations lol!!

Oh, I’m using this for posts with the nice permalinks. /%postname%.htm I did that so it would be seen by google as an htm or html page rather then the pg=1 or whatever for posts.

I guess I could try that once….just liked the .htm ending though. =)

Here’s the part of the htaccess file with the .htm codes included:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+).htm/trackback/?$ /blog/index.php?name=$1&tb=1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).htm/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /blog/index.php?name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).htm/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /blog/index.php?name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).htm/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /blog/index.php?name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).htm(/[0-9]+)?/?$ /blog/index.php?name=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

Maybe that could also help for future reference or something, if someone else uses this same setup for posts. Would be kinda cool to get this working with the .htm on the end lol. =)

P.S. I tried number three there and it didn’t work, also tried removing the .htm for the posts /%postname%.htm <- there and got a 404 within the blog. Also, tried some other stuff with the htaccess file and nothing…so…I’m not really sure now lol. This is kinda of interesting and would be awesome if we could get this working with my setup for .htm endings though….hehe. Weeee!! =)

For the link try this
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>print/">Print This Article</a>
or
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/print/">Print This Article</a>

I cant remember which one. LOL memory failing me.

hi there, dont mind you put your codes between backicks and not

Is there a site I can see?

To Kafkaesqui:

“Or if a theme has single.php and page.php templates, use the different print link versions for each (i.e. ?page_id= for page.php, ?p= for single.php).”

I am also trying to get wp-print along writing not only posts, but also pages, but think im to new to understand the PHP-thing here.

Im using permalinks – what should I put in single.php and page.php? If I only put

“<a>print/">Print This Article</a>”

after the usual

“...ile (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>“

its not working (Not Found).

I am really trying to catch up here. ;o)

Sure GamerZ! Its in swedish though… But < a href=”http://www.cogito.nu/”>here it is.

I’ve read your Read me – and as I understood it the last part was only for peole not using permalinks (I do).

“// Note: If you ARE NOT using nice permalink url
// Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
Find: […]”

I dont know if this is important at all, but – I’ve used your wp-print before, and added the old rewriterules in the .htaccess as they where before. Now when I tried to add the latest RewriteRule after # END, something happened and the hole sigth disappeard – so I skipped that latest rewriterule. If that could something to to with anyting you can get my htaccess and unzipit < a href=”http://www.cogito.nu/copy.htaccesscopy.zip”>here

Hi there,

The printer friendly page looks ok to me

Just dl the latest wp-print.php and overwrite it with your old one that is all, you do not need to touch/edit any files
