Biggest opportunity: Swap “backup” and “pdf” for “printing” and “blog”. “backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “printing” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pdf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blog” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.7%

of downloads still active

At least 8K of 472.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 285 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Thank you so much for creating this plugin! I was using another, but then they got spammy and now have a ton of Google ads on the page when you go to print. So I searched for another and found yours. This plugin just works! and it’s easy to setup. AND… the pages print really nicely! Feature request: from the plugins page, include a link the the “Print my Blog” section in the admin. making it easier to find. Thanks! -Christina

    Solid printing plugin, very clean PDFs and print pages. Haven’t tried the ebook option. I am guessing the Premium version will allow for customization to remove the last few irritating parts.

    This plugin works very well and has a lot of customization/integration ability. The support was fantastic and very helpful with ironing out a few compatibility issues with other plugins active on our site, provided very thorough answers to questions and did so quickly. Thank you!

    I have a couple of blogs that contain a lot of images and initially had a few issues getting it all looking good, but I had one of the developers (Ryan) looking into my issues and even releasing bug fixes to the plugin to fix the issues. Fantastic to have that level of support! Thanks team.

    The Missing Link: Web-First, Print-Second (Finally Done Right) Print My Blog enables my revolutionary workflow: I publish breaking news daily to the web, then once a week convert that living content into a professionally formatted print newspaper instantly. No InDesign, no copying content, no layout headaches. This reverses the industry’s fatal mistake of treating web as print’s afterthought. Instead, my print edition becomes a premium weekly digest derived directly from web content—without doubling my workload. Without this plugin, Siskiyou News literally wouldn’t exist. The technical support exceeds even “top notch”; they understand that for a one-person rural newsroom, downtime means dead air. They’ve saved my deadlines repeatedly. If you run web-first journalism but believe in print’s tangible power, this is the essential bridge between eras. J.A.Martin

    The more I dig into PMB, the more cool stuff I find. These guys have done an amazing job. It’s now getting very close to a full on publishing system and maybe they should think about re-branding the pro versions that way. “Print My Blog” just sounds like something for occasional bloggers, and the plugin is so much more than that. With PMB Pro we can build a complete publication as WP posts and then output it ready for publication as a PDF for a POD printer, a PDF for screen viewing, or a ePub for publication at Apple Books, Google Play or Amazon.

    Endlich ein Plugin, mit welchem ich wirklich alle meine Blogbeiträge sichern kann. Super ist, dass ich über html alle Texte in eine Word importieren konnte, inklusive die Bilder und Links. This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by msteigy.

    For some reason, I couldn’t get Print My Blog to update on my plugins dashboard, but the feature worked perfectly to print my entire blog (128 posts) so I have record of what I wrote with the images I used to illustrate each post. Simply backing the site up wasn’t going to allow me to view and revisit old times the same way. Thanks.
