I had a warning that my website will be updated to a new version of PHP, and I used the WordPress plugin “PHP Compatibility Checker” to check that everything would go smoothly and I got this for Comicpress:
FILE: /home1/polyinpi/public_html/wp-content/themes/comicpress/functions.php
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
164 | ERROR | Extension 'mysql_' is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0; Use mysqli instead
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Does anyone know if this could cause a problem? And/or how I can fix it, as someone who barely knows what mysql is?
]]>I recently switched to have my latest comic page to be shown on the homepage when people visit the site. I noticed that for some reason the Disqus comments for that page are not showing up and instead the generic WordPress comments options are showing up instead. Whenever I go to look at the page when it is not set to the homepage (for example if I click back to the previous page and then to the latest), the Disqus comments are there.
I am a css/php noob, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I was overlooking something simple. I would greatly appreciate some assistance on this though!
]]>My webhost (Dreamhost) is telling me I should upgrade my site to the latest php because of security issues.
Running a php checker gives me a warning and an error
———————–
debug.php
64 | WARNING | Function each() is deprecated since PHP 7.2; Use a foreach loop instead
functions.php
164 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0; Use mysqli instead
—————————–
Not sure how concerned I should be, but definitely not asking for the php to get upgraded just yet.
Is there any info or timeframe on upgrading the theme for php 7.3?
Thanks!

My comic is only showing up on the main page! I click “prev” and get “Page not found”. I click directly from my WordPress editor even and still get “Page not found”! None of my comic page links are working! What could be happening here? I have no idea when this started.
]]>I just updated to WordPress 5.1.1 and it completely blew out everything for Comicpress. Additionally, I can no longer edit pages. When the ComicPress plugin is enabled, editing a page comes up blank. My navigation buttons are gone, my comic strips are gone, ads on my blog are gone. By gone, I mean that they no longer display. I still see everything in my dashboard, but I’m unable to edit these pages.
This new WordPress update appears to be completely incompatible with ComicPress.
When updating in the past, nothing lke this has ever happened. I’m kicking myself for updating. I have a major headache! I’m losing views and ad revenue!
]]>After a long hiatus, will be resuming a webcomic later this year. Before we begin posting new content, I’d like to upgrade the ComicPress plugin from 1.4.7 to the latest version. Any tips, documentation, guidelines?
]]>Hi,
I’m builting a page with the comic press theme and a comic easel plugin.
I’m having an issue with the positioning of navigation buttons. I want to put this buttons under any comic post and for this I have placed the widget ‘Comic Easel – Navigation’ under Comic. But even so, it appears above the comic posts. The only way I can place them on the bottom is to put the widget in the ‘Under Blog’ field but if I do that, and if I have blog posts on the main page this navigation buttons will appear under the blog posts.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
AB
]]>Hi,
Is there any intuitive way to edit the footer text of the comic press theme without having to change the code?
Is there any plugin for this purpose that is compatible with Comic Press theme?
Thanks in advance,

]]>The WordPress 4.9.8.5.0 update broke my navigation buttons. The code and options are still there in the widgets panel, but nav buttons aren’t showing up under my comic anymore.
Anyone else run into this? And have a fix?
]]>Hello,
I’m new to Comicpress and although I’m finding the customization options lightyears ahead of other themes I’ve tried, I’m still having some issues that I hope someone can help me iron out.
First, I’m trying to implement a custom html menu. In the Customizer, I deleted the menus under the Menus tab. Under Widgets > Menubar, I created a custom html menu and inserted my own menu. This worked perfectly, except that a default text menu was still showing up.
I backed out of the Customizer to the Admin panel, and under “Appearance > ComicPress Options > Menubar” I checked “Disable default Menubar”. This effectively removed the text menu that was showing up, but for some reason it also caused my widgets to become inaccessible from within the Customizer. Instead I get the text: “Your theme has 10 widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them. You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages.” But I can’t find my widgets elsewhere, either.
The other issue is that I removed the header image and incorporated it as custom html, instead, so that I could adjust the width of the post column without cropping the image. However, when I “hide” the header image, the site automatically displays the title and tagline as a line of text, and I haven’t found a way to disable it.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
]]>Im a bit disturbed this hasn’t popped up yet (I’m not getting any results when I search up “Gutenberg” in this forum) But how exactly is Worpress 5.0 going to affect the comic press plugin? The annoyingly vague language of WordPress’s official statements allude that plugins will be more or less eliminated from the structure of Gutenberg, and since that’s 80% of my site is it just going to wipe out all my saved media and I’ll need to start from scratch?
I wouldn’t be upset by that since my site needs an overhaul anyways, but is there a way I can save the old version of my site first just in case Gutenberg is too much of a hassle to work with? How would that be possible?
(And yes I’m aware I can keep using the current version by downloading it as a separate plugin, but I am open to giving the Gutenberg beta a try, I just want to know if there’s a way I can save my current site as a backup in case Gutenberg wipes out everything and I don’t even like it)

]]>Hello, does anyone have tips for making my website with a ComicPress theme GDPR-compliant? For instance, there doesn’t appear to be an opt-in checkbox for comments in the comments.php… Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of adding code for such a checkbox to comics.php? I don’t really know any php. Thanks in advance for any help!
]]>I was told by my hosting support that my Theme (Comic Panel) might be preventing the use of my thumbnails in comic Easel, my child theme. I have used a regenerate thumbnails pluggin to remedy this, but images still do not show up in my archives when clicking on a chapter link, (https://tantricseries.com/chapter/anatomy-of-the-dragon/) and they do not display in media beneath the header Thumbnails.
Could some one help me understand how to fix this? Do I need to add some code to Archive.php, or are there settings in Comic Panel that might need to be made.
Any help with this would greatly be appreciated.
]]>Hello!
Can someone help me with my problem on the theme? I’m trying to customize the little calendar beside the comic title, basically I would like to change the month color to white.
Here is what it looked like before:
And what it looks like now, my problem is I can’t put the day and year under the month, probably because of the div?:
Here is my new code (I’m quite a newb with that) in the \functions\displaypost.php
if (!function_exists('easel_display_post_calendar')) {
function easel_display_post_calendar() {
global $post, $wp_query;
if (is_page()) return;
if (easel_themeinfo('enable_post_calendar') && (($post->post_type == 'post') || ($post->post_type == 'comic'))) {
$post_calendar = "<div class=\"calendar-month\">".get_the_time('M')."</div>";
echo apply_filters('easel_display_post_calendar', $post_calendar);
if (easel_themeinfo('enable_post_calendar') && (($post->post_type == 'post') || ($post->post_type == 'comic'))) {
$post_calendar = "<div class=\"calendar-day\">".get_the_time('d')."</div>";
echo apply_filters('easel_display_post_calendar', $post_calendar);
if (easel_themeinfo('enable_post_calendar') && (($post->post_type == 'post') || ($post->post_type == 'comic'))) {
$post_calendar = "<div class=\"calendar-year\">".get_the_time('Y')."</div>";
echo apply_filters('easel_display_post_calendar', $post_calendar);
}
}
}
}
}And my css:
.calendar-month {
display: inline;
padding: 2px 1px 0px 0px;
height: 50px;
width: 45px;
background: url(https://www.ryo.me/images/calendrier.png) center no-repeat;
font-family: 'Verdana' , sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: left;
margin-right: 3px;
text-align: center;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.calendar-day {
display: inline;
font-family: 'Georgia' , serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #000000;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
.calendar-year {

]]>Hey, just wondering if there’s a way to reverse the order of the Scheduled Posts widget, so the pages going up soonest will be at the top? I looked around the configuration and didn’t find anything, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to edit the php to do this. Too bad I don’t know php very well… Can someone provide me with help? Thanks.
]]>I am trying to find the list of shortcodes that comicpress/comic easel allows me to use, but all places google digs up seem to be outdated. Outdated as in “page not found”.
I don’t see it in the documentation, either, but I am convinced it was there once. Does anyone still have the list? :\
]]>In Frumph’s “Navigation Buttons” tutorial – he says go into Appearance→ComicPress Options/general tab and under “navigation” “choose a style in the Graphic Navigation Directory list” however I do not have any “navigation” under the general tab or any other tab.
I want to dump that little gray box with the navigation and just put up some simple buttons but I can’t do it because I can’t find anything about any navigation any hwere.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any assistance.
]]>Hello,
I run a hostgator site that has WordPress with the ComicPress Plugin and I recently got hit with the GoogleChrome “Hoefler Text Not found” adware.
I went to delete it, and now I cannot even get to the ComicPress dashboard.
It says I need to define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, – then it lists where it goes.
How do I go about fixing this? I’m kinda rusty with coding.

After several months of trying to learn how to work with WordPress (and having learned very little) I think I’m close to finishing my comics website.
The front page is mostly done. Congrats me.
I think I should mention I’m doing all this with WAMP. Localhost.
Now I’m trying to make an archives page, and can’t.
Here’s what I did:
– Went to “Pages”, added a new one
– Named it, but put a different name in the permalink. It’s now “comics-gallery”. Not sure if this matters (but something strange happens, when I hover over it the link shows up as “localhost/localhost/comics-gallery”… :S )
– In “Page Attributes”, “Parent” is blank, and the only options in “Template” are default and blog.
I wouldn’t mind having even just a simple generic archive like the one on PoorlyDrawnLines, although I’d like to have one that could list characters somehow.

]]>I have ComicPress. The comic is displaying too small.
Am I using an old version or something? How do I fix this?
]]>Hey there,
]]>Hey again,
Thanks for the help last time, it was super kind. I’m reaching out again to request help with our navigation icons. My site will likely be down for a short time (, but the gist of the issue is this. I created a unique navigation icon, and placed them all in a row in the proper order. Here is an example.
and although I got the images onto the site, they do not “scroll” far enough when hovered over/not available to hit the correct image. I adjusted the values of the .navi-hover {} and .navi-void {} but no matter what I change them to, there seems to be no change in the actual navigation of the buttons. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

]]>Hey! So i’ve been trying to set up a new website for my webcomic since the tumblr one was getting very old, (going from cheesyfantasycomic.tumblr.com to cheesyfantasycomic.com) and using comicpress has been awesome so far, but i’m having trouble with the nav bar (next, previous, etc.), the biggest problem being that no matter what, it stays above the comic. I’ve set the widget to be below, and enabled the option that should allow it to do so. Does Anybody know how to fix this?
I also tried to figure out how to make a costom navbar, but I’m not smart enough to figure it out, if anybody knows a simple way to do that that’d be great too. Thanks!
(these might be comic easel problems, but I don’t really know where else to go)
