* Comic Easel uses your theme’s templates for the archive. You can customize those
any way you want (depending on the theme, of course).
* If there’s already a file called archive-comic.php, use that. Otherwise, make
a copy of archive.php and call that archive-comic.php.
* For details, it kind of depends on how the archive page is built: if [the loop ](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop)
is called directly ( “while ( have_posts() ) : the_post()”) or via the [wp_get_archives() function](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_archives/)(
this is probably the easiest for customization, [see here for how to implement it](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index))
or if it’s one of those fancy themes with nested templates and the actual loop
call is in some sub-folder in which case you’re on your own finding it.
* The key is to add the right arguments to the loop call. See the links above for
possible arguemts. One of them is “order” which should be ASC in your case.
* This is a very brief pointer because it’s not really a Comic Easel question and
I don’t know your theme. (Also, I’m keeping it general in case somebody else
has the same question but not the same theme.) You can find lots of tutorials
online for creating your own archive page.

* It appears you theme’s page size is limited to 900px. That’s why the #comic area
starts whereever that outer frame puts it. The extended max-width of your comic
image then makes it overflow to the right.
* A simple fix would be to not limit the page itself like that but just the header
and subcontent-wrapper area above and below the comic. That would allow you to
also keep the default 100% max-width for the image – it would then just spread
to the outer edge of the window and resize right on a mobile device.
* Of course, I have no idea what that’ll do to the rest of your site but the layout
seemns simple enough, so it should work.

* Huh, you’re right – I never even noticed that bug was there. Luckily, it was
fixed by Comic Easel 1.15 or so.
* If for some reason you can’t or are hesitating to update, you can fix the script
yourself, too:
1. Open the Comic Easel files in FTP. 2. In the ‘widgets’ folder,
open the file ‘archive-dropdown.php’. 3. Whereever it says `'exclude' => array(
$exclude)` change it to `'exclude' => explode(',', $exclude)`
* Either way you go, use the chapter IDs in the widget. I tried with one chapter
title, it did not work.

* If the standard navigation doesn’t do what you want it to, you can deactivate
it in the Comic Easel config and instead use the “Comic Easel – Comic Navigation”
widget in the “Under Comic” widget area. It offers some additional options, specifically
for chapter navigation. It also offers the option to add an archive link.

* I just had a look on my own site to see if that’s a thing I added, but it appears
comic pages already have a max-width of 100% by default in the comiceasel.css
file. Unlesss that setting is being overwritten somewhere else on your site,
pages should max out at 100% on a smaller screen.

* Did you edit any of the Comic Easel files?
* If it’s just comics pages, it can either be something amiss in the comic Easel
files or some misconfiguration introduced by something else concerning custom
post types. To check if it’s CE, you could try and replace your CE files, one
by one, with freshly downloaded factory-setting files. (After making the proper
amount of backups, of course.) If it goes away, you found the right file! (single.
php is always a good place to start unless it’s also the archive pages.)
* However, if you’re sure it isn’t doing any harm and you really just want the
message to go away, there’s a quick fix:
* Download and open your wp-config file and change the following code:
`define('
WP_DEBUG', true);` to ‘false’.
* If that doesn’t do it, try replacing the line with:
* ```
ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
```
* (There’s a third option involving your .htaccess file, but these should do.)
* What this does is, it turns off all php error messages. You should do that anyway
because hackers might exploit these messages by provoking errors to learn about
your site’s vulnerabilities.

* I only had a brief glimpse at line 284 of WP’s post-template.php just now, but
that count() function refers to the post’s page count, more precisely an array
called $pages that your site seems to lose before that function is called. Any
chance you edited or deleted anything to do with pagination settings?
* If not, from what I read this concerns all posts? Not just comic posts? It’s
possible that this is a theme issue rather than a plugin issue, then. Remember
doing anything that may affect pagination while setting that up?

* Oh, I thought you said something about the widgets not showing in the first post.
I may have read that wrong. You meant the Comic Easel widget areas?
* You basically have the right idea about trying different spots to place the code.
Judging by where the featured image is now, I’m guessing you want it somehere
there? Then I suggest either within the
with the id “primary” or right
below (id=”content”). If index.php doesn’t work, you might also just try single.
php or vice versa. I can’t direct you any better without knowing how your theme
is built, though.

* Looking into it some more, there seems to be a code oddity that’s not CE-related
but may actually help figure stuff out. The ‘primary’ tag seems to encompass
the left widget and the main area but not the right widget. It should just be
the main area, the closing
should be before the ‘tertiary’ tag. (I swapped
them in the F12 code but it didn’t fix the problem. Just though you’d like to
know.)

* I’m not even sure of what I’m looking at. I’ve hit F12 on your site and gone
through the code that offered – and I can’t even find the comic area tags. It’s
possible that what we’re seeing on the page isn’t the ocmic at all but the accompanying
blog post with its featured image. This could mean that you’ve placed it in the
wrong spot as you’ve assumed, or in the wrong template, or maybe I’m just overlooking
the code.
* Since the widgets aren’t showing either, let’s start with that. To test if there’s
a connection, remove the comic area code from the template and see if they return.
If they don’t, you have two problems. If they do, we’ll need to find a new spot
for the code.

* … No wait, that was _too_ simple.
This should work, though:
* ```
function in_subcategory ($catorcats) {
$truepositive = 0;
$currentcatz = get_the_category( $post->ID );
foreach ($currentcatz as $currentcat) {
if (is_array($catorcats)) {
foreach ($catorcats as $arraycat) {
if ( cat_is_ancestor_of( $arraycat, $currentcat->cat_ID ) )
{ $truepositive = 1; }
}
} else {
if ( cat_is_ancestor_of( $catorcats, $currentcat->cat_ID ) )
{ $truepositive = 1; }
}
}
if ($truepositive == 1 )
{ return true; }
else
{ return false; }
}
```
* And now it also checks for arrays because once I had it, I started using it more
and got fed up with using fake arrays.

* If that overrides whatever has been overriding your navi’s doing that in the
first place, great!
* If you want to switch out the buttons, you can do that by creating a folder like
the one that has them now but in your child theme and upload your own graphics
there. Just use one of the folders and its pics as a template and mimic that.
* Okay, it may be a teensy bit more complicated but here’s a good breakdown:
