videos and photos on generated PDF to print are broke between pages

[lhennessey63]

Please describe what you were doing, what you expected to happen, and what the problem was.

I have generated a pdf to print (named Pre-adventure). There are photos and videos that are broke between pages. I did reload videos to my blog posts because I wanted them to show instead of the URL and deleted the URL's that were created when I purchased the Print my Blog plug-in. I would prefer the photo of the video appear when I print.

Hi @lhennessey63 thanks for providing this debugging info.

I saw a spots where images were overflowing into the bottom margin and the latest release of PMB should fix those.

Regarding the videos though: PMB does not yet handle videos as nicely as I hope it will. You have two options:

Option A: use the video block's "poster" option to show a preview or screenshot of the video (which will be shown both on the website and in PMB)

Option B: put the shortcodes [pmb_web_only_blocks] ... [/pmb_web_only_blocks] around the videos so make them only appear on the web, and optionally use [pmb_print_only_blocks] ... [/pmb_print_only_blocks] to have something else appear in your PDF (like maybe a screenshot or a URL of the videos). Here's a video showing how to use those shortcodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxNBkGafH_A

Lastly, you've mentioned a few times purchasing PMB but I think you've actually just purchased the wordpress.com plan that allows you to add plugins, but the purchase of PMB is separate.
