Genesis Printstyle Plus

Optimized: Saves You Printing Ink & Paper 🙂

This small and lightweight plugin adds a printer-ready stylesheet file (print.css / print-html5.css) for the Genesis Framework and its currently active child theme. Any unneeded site elements will be removed, such as main and sub navigation bar, sidebar, footer widgets, form input fields to name a few.

For most use cases and most existing/ regular Genesis Child Themes this should work really fine!

NEW since version 1.5.0+ For fully custom styles or additions just have look at the FAQ section here. 🙂 It is now really easy to handle and complete update-safe!

Please note: The plugin requires the Genesis Theme Framework (GPL-2.0+), a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ Copyblogger Media LLC (via studiopress.com).

Credit where credit is due: The first plugin version was based on the work of Ramoonus and his plugin.

Easy plugin translation platform with GlotPress tool: Translate “Genesis Printstyle Plus”…

Note: All my plugins are internationalized/ translateable by default. This is very important for all users worldwide. So please contribute your language to the plugin to make it even more useful. For translating I recommend the awesome “Codestyling Localization” plugin and for validating the “Poedit Editor”, which works fine on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Idea Behind / Philosophy

I just wanted to have a special print layout optimized for most Genesis Child Themes – with any unneeded elements removed but still with proper image display (including title tag text!) and proper footer line/copyright included. And I wanted that as a plugin so I could just activate it on client sites or if clients just request an easy-to-use solution. I intentionally used CSS Media Queries because they are made for this case – in combination with the output medium print.

Credits

• Thanks to @juicedaniel for reporting a CSS3 bug!
