Just to add one thing, deactivating the webcomic plugin lets me see the video and image on the page, and the comments return… but of course I lose the webcomic altogether!

Thanks chuckwheel! Apologies for the trouble. I think I can see some of what’s going on:
- It looks like the comic image was inserted into the post content on the latest post. You should be able to go in and delete this.
- It looks like you may have Dynamic Navigation turned on. For a lot of boring technical reasons, dynamic navigation only changes the webcomic image by default in Inkblot – not the associated post content. Turning Dynamic Navigation off should force the correct content to display under each webcomic post.
I’m not sure what you mean by the warders index file; can you elaborate?
Hi Mike, thanks for the quick response. So, yes, I had inserted the image into the post content, and removing it has fixed the problem of the image showing up on the pages. I turned off Dynamic navigation too, but that wasn’t the whole the problem. i.e. The main problem of the comments not showing up on the webcomic home page still exits. Also the content I posted into the post content area of the webcomic home page (i.e. video & banner image) still do not show up.
Apologies for the typo on my earlier post. it should have read “WordPress index file” not “Warders…”. WordPress was installed in a folder “WordPress” in my root. Once I was done with the site I followed the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Under “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install”, to copy the index.php and .htaccess files out of the WordPress folder and into the Root. Everything else seemed to go fine with the move, this is the one thing that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.
Could the problem be to do with the Permalink settings? I went into the Pewfell comic settings and put “pewfell” into all the fields for Permalinks.
it IS possible that the problem started before the move and I had just not noticed, but I don’t think so because adding the video was one of the last things I did before the move. I had also recently updated the inkblot theme too, which might have been after I added the video. I had previously tried making a child theme, but had not had much success with that – a lot of things went off when I tried – so I had abandoned it for now. I was going to try again, but it’s also possible that something got mixed up with that.
Hmm… Now I just tried adding the image and video as widgets to the Webcomic Footer widget area in the Customization sidebar — and they also do not appear, on any of the pages. My customization of the Webcomic lower Navbar DOES seem to be working ok, but curiously, when I go in to EDIT the customization panel the upper NavBar appears, when otherwise it is set to be hidden.
I tries one more thing. I reverted to a slightly oder version of the folder “-” with the subdirectories “coffee”, “css” etc. that I had created back when I tried to make the child them. I just to see what would happen.
What did happen was that the webcomic footer widgets did show up (on all archive pages), but the post content did not. However, right after the post date it also showed a “fatal error”:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function inkblot_post_author() in /home/content/21/7507221/html/Wordpress/wp-content/themes/inkblot/webcomic/content.php on line 51
It also killed my sidebars on all pages.
I retreated back to what I had before.
I don’t know if any of this will help you figure out what’s going on… Basically all I need is to be able to add some customization back to that homepage and have the comments back and I am done, so… help!

Something new… the widgets re-appear when I check “Display widgets as separate columns” — and disappear again when I uncheck it, if there are more than one of them. So, I’ve got the video & banner back, in a hack kind of way. Comments are still missing.
Another little problem I’ve just noticed. The storyline links on the webcomic archive page are linking to a random page from the selected story, not the first page.
The links change every time the page is refreshed.

Interestingly, the ones in the dropdown menu in the lower nav bar of the webcomic page work just fine.
