In reply to: [Comic Easel] Centering the Comic Easel NavigationYou mean the default navigation under the comic? I’m not using it myself but I just switched it on for reference and it’s centered just fine. My guess is that it’s really the theme or some modification messing with your css. Of course, that’s all I can do, guess, without knowing the site.
Try this: hover your mouse over the element, right-click and choose “Examine Element” or whatever it’s called in your browser. (I’m using Firefox on Windows and also in German, so again with the guessing.) Or just hit F12 and look for the navigation element. Either way, this should show you all the css that goes into displaying the element and where it’s specified, and you can toggle it off and on to see if that helps. If you can’t find anything there, move up in the hierarchiy. If I’m right, the navigation is located in another element that affects its placement. (For example, in my copy, it’s located within the “comic foot” element and that has a “text-align:center;” line that would displace the navigation if switched off.)

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Set Featured ImageWhat I’m saying is that what you describe is not singular to comic posts but applies to all post types, including regular blog posts and pages. That means it’s not a Comic Easel issue (although it’s understandably more prevalent for comic posts, being all about the featured image and all) but a general WordPress one. If there’s an already-developed solution to it, that’s the level where you’d find it. Either by googling some key words including “WordPress” which should get you to the right forums or by looking for a plugin that extends the featured image dialogue. (I’ve done a quick search, though, but haven’t found any at first glance that do exactly what you want. There may be some that assist in bulk managing featured images, though.)
As for the setup as-is, best I can do is recommend using the search on top of the gallery popup you get when adding a featured image. (Top right on my screen.) I don’t know your file naming convention but if you know what the files should be called you should be able to compress the grid view just fine.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Set Featured ImageI get the same template when I use the featured media button from the ‘add post’ page or any other such form. That’s why I think it’s a WP thing.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Set Featured ImageMy bad. I thought I’d seen a toggle there. I never had much call to use it because I only ever use the featured image function when I also upload a featured image, one pic at a time, so the question of searching them hardly ever comes up (or I use the search function).
Anyway, what you’re describing is not a Comic Easel issue but a general WordPress one. You might want to check if anybody has a fix on stack exchange. There may be a plugin for it, too.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Set Featured ImageI’m not sure I understand your question. You’ve described the grid in the media library, so I take it the view when you upload from the “featured image” function is the list or rather table that also lists the titles and what posts the image is used in? I’m asking because it’s exactly the other way around in my setup.
Anyway, if that’s what you’re asking for and you want to change it, there are two buttons at the top of the media library page and also the upload thing the featured image dialogue leads to. One looks like a window (it’s supposed to be a grid, though) and one actually resembles a list. You can toggle the view with those.
if that wasn’t it, please specify?

In reply to: [Widget Logic] Show all category childrenOkay, these requests are a little older, but in case somebody comes looking for just this: I got equally frustrated today because WP doesn’t seem to have a condition for that, so I wrote one.
This is custom-made for my site, so no guarantees. Also, because I only needed it in that context, the function expects $catarray to be an array. If you’re only looking for one category, either enter it as an array of one or add an extra condition (if (!is_array) or something) to the function. It’s all pretty bare-bones, too, no checking if the post actually has a chapter and if a function by that name already exists and all that. Feel free to use it as a starting point. Other than that, you should be able to just copy this to your function.php, then use “in_subcategory()” in Widget Logic:
function in_subcategory ($catarray) { $currentcatz = get_the_category( $post->ID ); foreach ($catarray as $catid) { foreach ($currentcatz as $currentcat) { if ( cat_is_ancestor_of( $catid, $currentcat->cat_ID ) ) { return true; } else { return false; } } } }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] deactivation to testNo worries, it should pick up right where you left.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] WooCommerce crashing site upon activationI even wanted to suggest that, based on that we both had the same php version, but since it was higher than the one recommended for the update, I didn’t. Thanks, @t0str!
Dang! Now I’ll have to move the site after all…

In reply to: [WooCommerce] WooCommerce crashing site upon activationHi, excuse me for jumping the thread – I may have the same problem. It’s only with WC 3.4, though. Up to 3.3.1 I also have problems but different ones (jQuery conflicts). (Unless there’s a connection?)
I’m running WP 4.9.6 with WP-Rootstrap whateverthelatestversionwas on a multisite install with Woocommerce on one of the sites. I’ve already done the whole bit about switching themes for the ones recommended up-thread and switching the plugins off and on again. Health check warns me my php (5.3.29, same as @t0str’s) and MySQL (5.1.73) are out of date (something I sadly have no control over at the moment) but apart from that it’s all good, allegedly.
I didn’t try to update Woocommerce while in Health Check’s troubleshooting mode because such an update would affect the actual site, too, wouldn’t it? All I could find out was that my 3.3.1. jQuery problem was still there. (I may ask about that seperately later, once I’m clearer on what the problem is.)

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Does this plugin support responsive comic panels?Just came across this searching for something else: Apparently, Sunny And Blue was done with Comic Easel, too. So there’s your short answer.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Does this plugin support responsive comic panels?You mean like this?
http://www.dreadfulgate.de/wordpress/eng/comic/as-cool-as/
Or this?
http://www.dreadfulgate.de/wordpress/eng/comic/dreadful-science-accelerated-banana/The multi-comic function allows for this. You check multi-comic support and full-size image display, then upload the images you want to the post via “add files” (not CE’s Featured Image).
It’s rather rudimentary, though. If you want it fancier, you’ll have to hand-code your comic in the html area above and below the comic. (There are metaboxes for that in the comic upload page.) I usually upload one of the comic images as featured image and then layout the others around it (after uploading them by ftp but you can use the media upload, too) with some in-line css. (It’s how I made the examples above.) Theoretically, I could just upload them all via ftp and have no featured image at all, but I find it makes for a nifty preview image in social feeds.
Or you could combine the two – uplad the images using the multi-comic function, then put some css around them to make it look good. I’m sure that’s possible, too.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Archive Thumbnails Do not Show upI noticed that the no-show only happens on archive pages: the character pages are archives, as are the pages those archives link back to (the url is /chapter/page-slug, not /comic/page-slug).
I also noticed that your comic image doesn’t seem to show up in the comic area at all but in the post below? I don’t know what to make of that or if it was planned, but for a start, try adding the same CE code you added to index.php to archive.php and see what happens.
If the thumbnails don’t even show in the media section, though, you may have an issue with the general setup of your site. Could be a plugin not playing ball, could be the theme blocking thumbnails for some reason, could be a customization side-effect. Your best bet there is to roll back all the changes you made so far, regenerate the thumbnails again and re-apply the changes one by one.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Featured Image not Showing with Fluida ThemeRight above where the blog loop starts (either before the if(have_posts) line or the content hook abve that), add:
<?php do_action('comic-blog-area'); ?>… Actually, I just tried that on my site and it doesn’t show the actual post but the teaser for it like the other posts with a link to the actual post page, above the rgeular post summaries, so you can do frontpagey stuff with the rest of the page. I actually prefer this, but if you want the page exactly like the single post, you may have to fiddle about a bit with the loop from single.php or something…
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] Featured Image not Showing with Fluida ThemeThat’s an unusual place to put it in the single.php, right under the post…
Since I was busy in my own home backend anyway, I downloaded Fluida and placed the code in the same spots as you. Works perfectly. But I noticed that you seem to have stripped a lot of stuff from your theme, comparing my mock-up to the pages you linked. Maybe you cut a bit too much?
Try just including the code in the original pages, then remove what you don’t need by and by. I’m assuming you’re working in a child theme and still have all the clean code in the main theme, right?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] Featured Image not Showing with Fluida ThemeIt’s not just the image – the whole comic area fails to show on your example post. Which leads me to the obvious question:
Where did you put the do_action(‘comic-area’) code? index.php? single.php? header.php? Anywhere else?
As for the home page: All I’m seeing there yet is a ‘nothing found’ marker. I take it you just haven’t written any posts yet? ‘Cause otherwise that would be a problem.
By default, the home page should show the latest comic if the ‘comic-area’ action is active there. Unless you mean landing pages independent of the home page. That would be a teensy bit more complicated.
