You can then "publish" the recipe, copy the URL and use that as your printable. The reason why this is good, is that you can then track how often that recipe has been printed/downloaded.

I don't know about non-Mac computers, so I have no idea how difficult it is to save a file as a pdf. On Macs, it's just a matter of choosing that format in many programs.
To make your link, after you find and copy the URL of the recipe in the media library, all you do is to type something like "download and print this recipe." The highlight that text and use the chain icon to make your link. It pops up a screen where you paste the URL and voila!
HTH?

I will do my best to follow your instructions, HTML challenged that I am... if I run into trouble, I'll have to scream again for help.

I won't change the status of this to "solved" yet, so that I have this venue open in case of problems

Thanks again!

Then you can write a link to it in your post.
To find its URL, go to the Media Library. Be sure that you are looking at "all" not just images. Edit the pdf file and copy the URL.

Apparently there is a way to do it using google, but I would prefer to use a more direct way, in WordPress itself

Anybody? :-)

I've searched the forum but this subject was only addressed in 2006 (as far as I could tell) - I am wondering if there is a way to do it

thank you very much!
