Solved : 404 Error Problem on Applying Wp-Print Plugin for WordPress

Today I’m adding 2 useful plugins for visitor experience, wp-pagenavi and wp-print. Wp-pagenavi give a convenient pagination on long post, it will cut a long post into some divided part and make it a good looking and easier to read. Sadly, split article function as provided by wp-pagenavi has not implemented on my blognews template. Ask the possibility to add the function, I finally solved it by following Mehmet Ozekinci-the template author-advice to add following code :

<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p>Page&amp;after=</p>&amp;next_or_number=number&amp;pagelink= %'); ?>

right after <?php the_content(); ?> line on single post template file.

Second plugin, wp-print give a smart and convenient print-ready page for visitor. The plugin itself has successfully installed and activated but I got a 404 error page while trying to see how the print-page will looks alike. Google for a while and found the solution as below :

  1. Place the wp-print code inside loop code (loop for each content)
  2. Re-update your permalink. Go to WP Admin | Setting | Permalink and click update to update your .htaccess file.

I’ve also added a wp-post view plugin for tracking how many post seen by visitor. This will keep me update which category or content has biggest fans.
