In reply to: [Comic Easel] bug in navigationLooks about right to me. But the “tout début” link seems to point to a chapter that’s just somewhere in the middle, according to the drop-down menu.
If the problem you had occurred in a previous chapter (back when you asked this), I think I can point you towards the problem: The chapter numbering might be off.
Got to comics -> chapters to find a list of all your chapters. For CE to read them as consecutive chapters and link to the first chapter correctly, the chapter numbers must be constecutive, too. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1,2,3… or 1234,1235,1236,-…, but CE will read any break in the numbering as the end (or in this case beginning of the comic.
Once this checks out, you’ll have to make sure all your comics are associated with the right chapters so they won’t confuse CE’s navigation. You can see that in the “all comics” overview.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic Thumbnail shows up in PostLooks like 30seven got it?
Otherwise, a dirty fix: Try finding whatever classes the thumbnail (and only the thumbnail) uses and add { display:none; } to that class.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Blog PostsTry placing the <?php do_action(‘comic-blog-area’); ?> code further down, right above where 2016 places the blog post. Or, just in general, try different locations.
Also, please make sure just once more that, in comics/config, you haven’t checked the box disabling the comic blog post on the frontpage. Just in case.
The comic blog area doesn’t always play nice with other themes. On my site, I basically cheated and placed it in the ‘under comic’ sidebar, along with some code to make it look as if it belongs there. I tried simulating it with 2016 in a sub-foloder of my setup, but my 2016 seems to be faulty in general, so I couldn’t.
I’ve been trying to find an earlier thread where we tried several solutions to this kind of problem, but I couldn’t find it.

In reply to: [TheCartPress eCommerce Shopping Cart] Checkout editor ?Hi Inigo,
Not in the checkout it doesn’t. All I see in the login column is a link for password retrieval. I’ve managed to add the register shortcode to the login page, so a link would indeed help. (The less cluttered the checkout is, the better, after all.) Guess I’m up for some back-end editing?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] Mobile random invisible, search not workingI can’t help you about the first bit because I can’t seem to replkicate the fault. (I don’t have a smartphone and your layout doesn’t change when I enter it into a phone simulator.)
As for the search, CE’s posts are of a different post type than WP’s regular ones. CE’s config menu offers the option to list comic posts along with regular ones, but I just tried search on my site and it worked even though I’ve left that unchecked. Try checking “Allow comics to associate with WordPress categories?” in “config/general”, maybe that did the trick for me.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Can't Instal Comic EaselThis often happens when people try to install Comic Easel into the theme folder. It’s a plugin, unlike Comipress before it.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Missing sidebars in appearance/widgetsNo sidebars in the widgets section? That is indeed weird. Sounds as if you caught a bit of faulty code. Sometimes al it takes is a forgotten ‘?>’ somewhere that closes off a php loop where there shouldn’t be a closing off of loops,
Since you spent some time updating your plugins and stuff, I’d suggest you start by switching your plugins off and on one by one to find out if the problem is with one of them.
Also, check if your theme works with the current WP. I’m sure your CE works with 4.4.1. because mine is even older.
If none of these steps help, you may have to trace back the changes you made since it last worked. If you

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Custom Navigationi found some css that does that:
.navi:hover {
background-position: -60px 0px;
}in navstyle.css. If nothing else works, just delete that line. But you can probably just switch it off in your back end somewhere.

In reply to: [TheCartPress eCommerce Shopping Cart] Checkout editor ?While this headline is open, is there a way to add a user signup (now there’s just a login) to the signinBox?

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Custom NavigationI’ve had a look at your site with Firefox’s site analyzing thingy, and it showed some css for tables that got in the way.
Somewhere below line 1056 in your css, table width is set at 100%. You can either delete that line or, if you need tables to be 100% somewhere else, add a line in your setting for the table class .comic_navi. It’s in your navstyle.css, but you should be okay if you just add a line like.comic_navi { width: 350px; }
whereever your custom css goes.
(350px is my guess. Whatevver the actual width of your navigation is.)Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [TheCartPress eCommerce Shopping Cart] Thecartpress styles are always loadingNot sure if this addresses your problem, but I found that, while some styles are overwritten easily by your theme, for some it’s more practical to customize them in the “Look & Feel / custom styles” menu.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Front page troubleUpdate since this topic hasn’t been marked ‘resolved’ yet:
Actually, I am aware of WP cropping thumbnails. I just posted a possible solution here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-w-thumbnail-archive?replies=2Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Comic Easel] Issues w thumbnail archive.Apparently, you’ve switched to the archive shortcode instead?
If you still prefer the thumbnails, here’s how:
The thumbnails are culled from the thumbnail files your theme makes when you upload a post image (i.e. comic). WordPress will automatically make smaller copies for quicker loading, which is a joke considering it’s really bad at compressing them and some of the ‘smaller’ files actually exceed your comics’ filesize, but I digress. Anyway, I’ve just simulated such an archive on my site, and the older thumbnails are indeed cut off. I’ve changed the settings for thumbnails a while after launching the site, and the newer ones look fine. So maybe the same action will help you:
Find the “Edit site” menu (depending on your setup, it should be one of the top menu entries, or under network/sites*), go to “Settings”** and scroll for the Thumbnails W and Thumbnails H settings. I’ve changed mine from the defaiult 140×210 to 210×210 so it’ll size down the larger side to 210, whichever it is. If your pages are all the same aspect ratio, you can just find yoor own measures. Also, below the Thumbnail size settings there’s an empty field titled “Thumbnail crop”. If that isn’t empty in your settings, you may want to make it so. (Actually, now that I think about it, maybe that’s all you need to do.)
For the images you already uploaded, I’m afraid you’ll have to re-do those. Either by re-uploading the images from WP-admin or by replacing the thumbnail files with your own equally-named files via ftp.
As for the ordering, you can switch to Ascending checking “Get first in chapter instead?” in the thumbnail widget. And you can set the number of thumbnails to be displayed to be really high to make sure they’re all there. Just remember to update that number when you exceed it or the newer ones won’t show.
*) or more to the point: either /wp-admin/site-settings.php or /wp-admin/network/site-settings.php if you have a multisite network.
