How it behaves
It still works when things are switched off
The row of mounted prints moves on its own; grab it to drag in either direction. Clicking a row pauses it, a pause button stops it, and it holds still for reduced motion.
- Motion off or reduced motion
- It shows its final state at once; anything a visitor can press or drag still works.
- JavaScript off
- All content stays visible and readable; controls the script adds are hidden.
- Plugin missing or older
- It pastes as plain WordPress blocks, in reading order, without the designed layout.
Questions
The Print Room: common questions
What is The Print Room for?
A photographer's or print shop's gallery, where mounted images with edition notes pass by like a hang on a studio wall. Typical uses: fine art print shop, photographer's editions page and gallery exhibition preview.
Does The Print Room need a plugin?
Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; The Print Room arrived in plugin 0.28.2. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout.
What can I edit in The Print Room?
As pasted it has 4 images, 5 headings and 6 text lines, 2 of them optional and removable. The items are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block.
Will The Print Room match my theme?
Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy.
Can the motion be switched off?
Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
