Past comic posted are blurry and all appears in an archive

Hi,

First, thanks a lot for this plugin. I’ve search a whole day and night trying to find the perfect fit and when looking at examples of websites using your plugin, I felt like it was a perfect fit for my needs.

However, something “weird” happens, that is maybe a mistake on my side and / or maybe something easy to correct with custom CSS or an option.

So what happens is that, the first comic shows correctly but if you click on “first” and “previous”, then it shows the comic in an archive “post” format instead of staying in the plugin format. It also shows the comic aligned to the left and all blurry even tho the comic size img is way bigger than what it is shown.

You can see an example if you head to https://meow.ink/comic

I checked the options and your faq and things seems to be setted up correctly but maybe I am missing something.

Further informations :
– I use a custom theme that I bought.
– I don’t have many plugins as well, something like 10-14 that are all necessary plugins either for products sync or security and speed like cache.
– The webcomic is part of my online store.
– I decided to use your plugin because I am unable with my current knowledge to do what your plugin does by myself.
– I saw a thing called “Loop” that can be added as CSS but I am unsure what this loop thing does or how to configure it properly if I need it.
– Since the comic is on an online store “platform”, for security reasons, I would prefer to give detailled information only if needed and if so, by e-mail and not on a public forum where everyone could see.

Thanks a lot again and if you need further information, just ask.

Unfortunately, I don’t provide support for premium (purchased) themes but from inspecting the page, your problem page is missing the navigation and markup specific to Manga+Press. Manga+Press uses the_content filter to add the comic markup to single-view comic pages if single-comic.php isn’t present in the theme. Basically, single comic pages uses either single.php or index.php (check out WordPress’ template hierarchy: https://developer.wordpress.org/files/2014/10/wp-hierarchy.png). I’m guessing that single.php isn’t present, and index.php is missing the the_content() function (which runs the_content filter).

What might be easier to do is extend your current theme with a child-theme. Copy page.php to that child-theme. Then finally, rename page.php to single-comic.php. The reason I’m suggesting creating a child-theme is so that your changes don’t get blown away if you update the parent theme down the line.

I’ve written some documentation on how to get a theme to play nice with Manga+Press, but you will also want to read the WordPress documentation on themes and child-themes as well.

I will check and work on that as soon as I can and read these documentation on how to do this.

Thank you Jess!

Hi Jess,

So I tried that. My child theme is done and I created that single-comic.php file in the child theme.

I added theses lines like in your documentation :
<?php mangapress_comic_navigation();?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

And the result when I go back to the previous comic is :

As you can see, there is no theme anymore.

So, I also did the copy of the content of page.php as you told me and tried the 2 lines, but the result is now that : https://snag.gy/fMilTx.jpg
I tried to change where do I put these 2 lines but it simply puts the “normal” comic somewhere else on the page.

I also only did a copy of the single.php and renamed it to single-comic.php. Didn’t worked. I also tried to do the same with page.php and renamed it to single-comic.php. In both cases, the problem hasn’t been solved.

I did clear the caches and css-js caches as well before each try.

There must be a simple something I’m missing but I don’t know what honestly.

Do you accept jobs sometimes? I’ve been trying and trying tons of differents ways to do it and so far… I always end up missing something.

I am willing to pay you to solve this issue and make it worth.

You can contact me @ info@meow.ink if it interests you.

So finally,

I’ve been kinda able to do it. The only thing, it lose it’s center “effect” and a kind of thumbnail is under it and seems to still appears in an archive.

Did it with the index.php and this bit of code :
```
<?php    
    $prev_comic = mangapress_get_previous_post_in_loop();

    if (have_posts()) :
        while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <?php endwhile;
    endif;

    $next_comic = mangapress_get_next_post_in_loop();
?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php mangapress_comic_navigation();?>
```

Sorry, I don’t do freelance work. Especially not now—I’m working full-time and trying to find a new job (also a full-time job). The biggest reason I normally don’t provide support for purchased themes is there is no way for me to review the code without having the user violate the license, plus premium themes tend to be rather lacking in code-quality when compared with themes from the WordPress Theme Directory, which all go through a review process.

Anyway, if you’re still having trouble, can you send me a zipped version of your child-theme (send it to support@manga-press.com)? Also, what is the name of the theme you purchased?
