huh, well not sure how you can do this besides setting up a post-format with it?

Yeah you absolutely can do that with 3.3

Edit the functions.php file and find the add_theme_support for post-formats, add ‘link’ to that array

so that it looks like this:

add_theme_support(
		'post-formats',
		array(
			'aside',
			'link'
//			'image',
//			'video',
//			'quote',
//			'status'
			)
		);

Then, copy the content.php file to content-link.php (so there are now two files) and edit the content-link.php file remove, delete this section:

<div class="post-info">
			<?php
				easel_display_post_title();
				if (!easel_is_bbpress()) easel_display_post_calendar();
				if (is_sticky()) { ?><div class="sticky-image">Featured Post</div><?php }
				if (function_exists('easel_show_mood_in_post')) easel_show_mood_in_post();
			?>
			<div class="post-text">
				<?php
				easel_display_post_author();
				easel_display_post_date();	easel_display_post_time(); easel_display_modified_date_time();
				easel_display_post_category();
				if (function_exists('the_ratings') && $post->post_type == 'post') { the_ratings(); }
				do_action('easel-post-info');
				wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="linkpages"><span class="linkpages-pagetext">Pages:</span> ', 'after' => '</div>', 'next_or_number' => 'number'));
				?>
			</div>
			<div class="clear"></div>
		</div>

That’s the ‘header’ info for posts, all of the information.

Then, go to posts -> add new post and add a post, in the right section there will be an area for what type of post it is, just move the markbox to ‘link’ and make your post, all that will be in the content of the post is well, the content really.

You can further modify that content-link.php file to make the post section look like you want.

Absolutely agree with Aramaz; to make the style-default.css into a child theme editable, you would create the header information for style.css child theme wise then add the contents of style-default.css into it and then modify it as you wish. (disable the default style in the easel-options – cause now you’re using the one from the child theme)

my forums have child themes you can take examples from.

This would have happened if you didn’t have an updated version of WordPress; make sure all of your software is updated to the latest versions.

Looks like you went with a different plugin/script. Although to answer the question 500 errors are php errors, generally caused by conflicts with other functions that are using the same name when activating plugins.

Comic Easel utilizes ceo_ as prefixes for all of it’s functions so having something else conflict with it should be utterly rare.

Checking your error logs on your hosting service will provide you with information.

function easel_display_post_calendar() {
		global $post, $wp_query;
		if (is_page()) return;
		if (easel_themeinfo('enable_post_calendar')) {
			$post_calendar = "<div class=\"post-calendar-date\"><div class=\"calendar-date\"><span>".get_the_time('M')."</span>".get_the_time('d')."</div></div>\r\n";
			echo apply_filters('easel_display_post_calendar', $post_calendar);
		}
	}

You can add (and edit) this to your CHILD THEMES functions.php file, or edit it directly in the functions/displaypost.php to suit your needs.

You can add the site title and tag inside a widget and put it in ‘above header’ widget area.

with Easel 3.3 that was just added today post-formats are enabled
if you want the link one here are the directions

edit functions.php and find the add_theme_support for post-formats, add ‘link’ to the list.

Find the content.php file in the theme directory and copy it as content-link.php

edit the content-link.php file to look how you want as a link, preferably adding it to your child theme

done.

There isn’t a buy print feature in comic easel yet. *yet*
