In reply to: [Comic Easel] Author & Date on Comic entryHi, sorry for the late reply. In case you haven’t fixed it yourself yet:
ComicPress doesn’t meddle with the blog post settings, afaik, so I’m guessing it’s the theme treating custom post types like ‘comics’ differently. I’ve only had a brief glimpse at generatepress’ function.php and content-single.php just now (and didn’t find anything about that), but if that problem is still on, I can have a closer look. Alternately, you could ask in the theme’s forum if anybody else had a similar issue with custom posts.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Post retina comicsComic Easel doesn’t seem to make its own custom thumbnails, so the quick’n’dirty should be easy: Set the maximum dimensions for image uploads in ‘settings/media’ and upload them that size, too. Comic Easel should squeeze them into whatever your display size is.
Of course, this will affect all image uploads, but you’re gonna want that anyway, for retina’s sake. And it will load the larger images no matter what, even on a desktop, resulting in larger filesizes for the browsers to download and slightly longer loading times. It’s not as much of a problem as it used to be, but I thought I’d mention it in case this bothers you.
More complex and cleaner approaches would either involve adding some extra code around where CE displays the comic or finding a plugin for adding retina classes. I’m sure there’s one out there.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Navigation Buttons Not Showing UpI’m sure it was the first place you looked, but I have to ask: Is the “Disable default navigation” checkbox in the ComicPress config/navigation panel checked, by any chance? It should be unchecked by default (and it should be unchecked), but maybe it got checked by accident.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic thumbnails have been missing for a few updates…It’s possible that in the time your theme and plugin were out of sync, WP just didn’t make any thumbnails. Or is it still happening, even with new comics?
Have you tried running the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin?

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Creating chaptersThere’s a widget in ‘Design->Widgets’ called ‘Comic Easel – Comic Chapters’. Just put it anywhere you want. (If you want it as part of the navigation instead, there’s a setting for that in the CE config.) It should get you to the beginning of each chapter by default.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Remove images in post area.Ooh, that’s a nasty one!
There may be a plugin to clean up posts in bulk, but short of that you can at least hide the images with some css. Just add this line to your css sheet (or, if your theme has a section for extra css, there):
.entry-content img { display:none; }This should hide all images within that class, which is the class for the posts. Mind you, that’s all images, so if you have images you want to show in the posts, you’ll have to add some css like ‘style=”display:block;”‘ to their
tags to overrule the posts’ css.
I’d still recommend cleaning up the posts eventually, but this way you can take your time.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Show comic title on home pageDo you want the title of your comic series to appear on top of the home page or the title of the episode?
(The first is easy: Just use a text widget and customize it any way you want. The second… not quite as easy because you need to extract the title somehow.)

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Chapter navigation problemIf it’s only that one chapter, look for the one difference in the settings.
Maybe the chapter’s order number is wrong? I don’t think the number should have an effect if traversing between chapters is off (it has a big effect when it’s on because they must be consecutive for that to work), but that would be my first guess. Or maybe it’s on a different level (a parent chapter that the others are child chapters of) – that would mess some things up, I’d wager.
But I’m really stabbing blind here. Just grab that chapter and one that works right and compare them in the chapters meniu. Maybe something comes up.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Google AdSense in comicsIs it a general problem or just with the comics pages?
Google gives you code for this which you can include in your layout-head.php or index,php or single.php depending on where and on which pages oyu want it. There may also be code specifically for the <head> section which you’ll find in header.php.
Then again, there may be a WP plugin for this.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Double Post“do_action(‘easel-page-head’)” belongs to the Easel theme. So you’re using that?
If the “do_action(‘comic-area’)” isn’t in header.php, it may also be in index.php and single.php, or in layout-head.php. Thinking about it, I may be the only one who uses header.php for that.
I can’t read your source code from here, of course, just the displayed code, but it appears to be below the “content wrapper” tag which, in Easel, is somewhere in layout-head.php.
If it’s in single.php, make sure it isn’t doubled there by accident. That would solve the problem pretty quickly.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Double PostThanks for the link. Admittedly, my first suggestion was a bit of a shot in the dark.
I see you only seem to have the problem on the single comics pages, not on the home page. This may mean that you’ve placed the comic easel do_action code in the wrong spot(s) and now somehow the single pages are pulling it twice – once for the site, in a way, and once for the page. But it’s hard to determine from just seeing the displayed code. What theme are you using and where did you place the code?
For now, maybe try this: Find the
do_action(‘comic-area’);
code in your header file (assuming it’s the header) and adda homepage-only condition to it so it reads something like:
<?php if(is_home()) { do_action(‘comic-area’); } ?>
(give or take a few ; – I always get those wrong. If it’s wrong, you can easily tell by the page not loading.)
This should ensure that the comic display you’ve added only shows on the home page. Now, on the single comics pages this will achieve one of three things:
– it’ll load the comic only once;
– it’ll achieve nothing;
– it won’t load the comic at all.
Either way, we might learn something.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] Double PostIt’s possible that your theme has featured images enabled for posts. If so, you should be able to uncheck that in its options.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic wont show up on MobileLooks okay on mobiletest.me – http://mobiletest.me/htc_one_emulator/?u=http://lightbringer.attackcatstudio.com/ – which is the closest thing to a mobile view I have. Just to let you know I’m flying blind here and mostly guessing.
Your theme is something other than Comicpress, right? I’d suggest you look up what your theme’s mobile options are. My first guess was that it just suppresses the featured image on mobile view, but if the nav bar doesn’t show either, maybe the theme uses a different template for mobile view altogether. In which case you’d have to add the CE code to that, too.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Set Featured Image button missing only in comic easel.You mean for comic posts or for regular ones? Because the latest WP update seems to have moved the widget to right below the post entry field in the regular post form.
