In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic-post and hooks?Huh. Strange. If it worked in -S and doesn’t work now, it can have several causes. One is, as you’ve pointed out, that it updated in a way that makes the comic blog post not show. Another is that by reinstsaling _S you undid a modification that you made earlier.
. Have you checked if the settings in Comics/config/gerneral are still right? (“Disable the Comic Post on the Home Page” obviously needs to be unchecked. I don’t think that’s it or you wouldn’t get the white line, but just to make sure. It may have reset itself at an update.)
– Have you tried replacing functions.php with the one you had when it worked? Or cutting and pasting relevant-looking stuff from the old functions.php to the new one?It’s hard to tell if that’s it without seeing the files, but if it’s indeed a functions.php thing, it may be about when it accesses the loop or something.
If you get the white line, that sounds as if the do_action is actually being done, it just doesn’t get the actual text from the post.
Let’s try something whacky: Copy the text from your comic blog post into the Excerpt (in the edit Comic mask, right below the actual post). Just to see if it’ll read it from there?
Sorry, that’s all I got right now.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Mutiple diffrent ComicsComic Easel requires continuous chapter numbers for the chapter transitions to work. So this is actually really easy to get around. Just renumber your chapters in the chapters menu (not the iDs, the ‘chapter order’ numbers) to be further apart.
On my own site, I start each series wit a new thousand, to avoid confusion. So one series is chapters 1001, 1002 etc., the next is 2001, 2002 etc. That way, I get transitions between chapters but not between the titles. Works fine as long as I remember the last chapter ID

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic-post and hooks?I suggest you go with the php snippet cheat then. On my site, that works just about everywhere there’s a widget area.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Front page troubleOh, and as for the cropping: I’m not aware of CE doing that. It may be a theme-related thing.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Front page troubleYou may have solved this by now (sorry for not showing up earlier), but in case you haven’t:
What exactly is it you want? A front page that shows both your current comic and thmbnails for earlier ones? I’m getting a bit confused about the comic post area stuff later on. Here’s what I would do:
– set the do_action(‘comic-area’); line up in the header or index.phpo, whereever you want to place it;
– Use the Comic-Easel-Thumbnail plugin in a sidebar. It’s not totally customizable (it will show the current thumbnail because that’s what it’s built for, ut you can make it show more than that), but it allows for some options, includiong getting rid of the title. To make it appear only on the front page, I’d use the plugin Widget Logic.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic-post and hooks?The white line is a separator that is supposed to appear below the comic info. So appaprently you got the area to show but not the content.
I’ve had a look at your site and also at my own because I once solved that (different theme, but that shouldn’t matter) (though I do like yours. Looking it up next).
If you want it to show up right under the comic, it should be as easy as adding the do_action() line right under the one for the comic in the php. It’ll show up below the “Under Comic” sidebar, above the main container. If you want it in the container, above the blog, it should be somewhere below the <div id=”container”>tag . Though, I just tried that on my own site and couldn’t seem to find the right spot either. Might be some problem accessing the WP loop. That stuff got a bit messy with the custom post type CE uses.
Alternately, you can do what I did (it’s a bit of a cheat, but I won’t tell if you don’t):
I’m using a plugin called “PHP code for posts” (using it anyway because some of my comics are interactive) which allows you to save php code into snippets which can be used within sidebars. I saved a snippet with some formatting (for getting rid of that white line) and the do_action() line and put that snippet into a text widget in the “under Comic” sidebar. If you want it in the container, above the blog, see if there’s a widget area for that. Something like “above blog post” or “above content”.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Comic-post and hooks?Since this was posted 2 months ago, have you solved it? If you haven’t, what’s your site?
It’s hard to say without knowing your site and seeing the problem, but assuming your theme works with CP, the placement of the code does indeed make a difference. I’ve found my comic area by try and error as well.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Display blog post on home page and navigationNot sure what you mean by me not having any navigation on the singles? How can I tell that my navigation doesn’t work on single pages?
By it not showing up there?
Still trying to get the CE navigation to not go to post format when navigating through the “first” and “previous” buttons. Technically, the comic should still show up on the main home page when navigating through the first, prev, next and last buttons, right?
No. It’s all posts from there. They’re not blog posts – comic posts have their own post type -, but they’re definitely posts. They have their own singles and urls and all.
Look at the previous post in Kantorwont – it has a different url than the front page. That’s the post’s url.
(Although apparently Facebook still doesn’t recognize the pages when I try to post them there. Oh well, another time.)
Okay, I guess I found what’s been causing this. I followed a seemingly unrelated error listed in error.log, which claimed that Widget Logic, one of my oldest and most trusted plugins which I’ve been running on both sites for years, seemed to produce an unexpected ‘;’ somewhere. I deactivated Widget Logic, and gone was the crawling error!
I’ve deactivated each plugin before, it was the first thing I tested for, but I guess I must have skipped that one because it’s so old and trusted and is running on both sites.
I haven’t found the erroneous ‘;’ yet (or the gap in my conditioning that would cause a ‘;’ to be erroneous), but if I keep not finding it, I can just reopen this thread in the Widget Logic support section.
Thanks for all the help, Mika! I appreciate you taking the time!
Also, yeah, I can see how that could have been read as “all at once” the other day. It just never occurred to me. I mean, who would do that?
I’m a scientist. Well, sort of. That’s how we test.
So… new folder by just any name? Now that sounds like a weird test. Bots don’t even look in just any folder, do they?
Anyway, just to be thorough, I tested for root/robots.txt and root/new/robots.txt both with Allow and Disallow for everything, then tried fetching it with the Wemaster Tools Fetch. (One by one.) No change for 3 of these 4 tests.
With root/robots.txt on disallow, though, I got a “Denied by robots.txt” note instead of the usual “unreachable”.
When I said I tried all of that, I didn’t mean at the same time. The only difference I ever got out of it, as far as showing in tha webmaster tools fetch is concerned, was the one I described. Disabling the root .htaccess, as well as parts of it, didn’t make a difference.
No, this one:
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]As I said, I did it with both .htaccesses. Sorry for mixing up root and the other one.

In reply to: [Comic Easel] Display blog post on home page and navigationHuh. I can only guess:
The snippet you inserted takes its cues from the content the page offers it. It takes the blog post from the loop because that’s where it would be, and the title from the php that generates (or reads, or echoes or whatever) the page’s title. On a single page, it would read the post title, but on home, the title is Home.
Remember I’m only guessing here, but that’s what it looks like to me.
The Comic blog area won’t affect that because it’s a whole different snippet. And I think it’s set to only show when the comic blog post isn’t already showing somewhere else, or it would show twice on the single pages.
Theoretically, if you replaced the new snippet with CE’s do_action code, it should show the post title instead. (The comic blog area has the habit of only showing the post excerpt or the stuff above the <more> tag, though, making you click through to the single to read the whole post unless you’re not using the tag or the excerpt. Your choice if you want to got with that.) Or you could go fishing for the code snippet that reads the post title from the loop.
That’s all I got, I’m afraid. Keep probing!?
Congrats for getting rid of the disappearing images, btw. But now it seems you don’t have any navigation on the singles?
