Hello. Your save and print functions are not working for three recipes that I have tried. So I’m guessing it may be an error to anywhere in your site. Thank you.
That’s weird… because it works on my computer..? When you click the “print” button, it opens as a pop-up window or a new tap on your browser to print. So please check out your internet browser(window, chrome or whatever you’re using) option if you blocked the pop-up window option. Unblock it and try again!
Yes. It open up a new tab. However, what’s showing on that page is gibberish… mostly picture codes, not letters and words. I have tried on both desktop and iPad.
I see, thank you for letting me know. Give me some time to handle the issue!
