Broken archive + no navigation after update

Apologies for the issues @keiiii. Can you setup an admin account for me on your site? I can’t quite tell what the issue is just looking at the site, but if I can poke around a bit I think I can sort things out.

Thanks for the reply. I can make an admin account; what’s your email?

[email protected] should work!

Thanks @keiiii, and apologies again for the trouble. I’m not sure why Inkblot’s archive template wasn’t working properly, but I think I’ve managed to recreate your archive using the [webcomic_storylines_list] shortcode (you can see how it’s setup if you edit that page).

For the navigation buttons, I’ve added appropriate link widgets to the Webcomic Header and Webcomic Footer widget areas; they seem a little small, but I’m not sure if that’s how you had them so I left them as-is (the size can be increased with a tiny bit of CSS, if you like).

I also noticed the latest comic link on your homepage wasn’t working anymore; I updated the URL to use the new Webcomic 5 format, should be fine now.

Thanks so much for the help!

The archive is listing the chapters out of order; how can I change that?

The navigation buttons do seem small indeed. I’m trying to figure out how to change that with CSS but not being successful… Is this supposed to be the right selector?

.widgets.webcomic-footer.columns-4 {

If not what should I be doing instead?

Also, the archive lists pages backwards (most recent first). Is there a way to flip that, so it goes page 1-2-3-4-etc rather than 10-9-8-7 etc?

I’ve added order="desc" to the shortcode, which should get the order you want… but I also found a minor bug that’s preventing the storylines from sorting properly on that page. I’ll try to get an update in the plugin directory ASAP. Once the bug has been fixed, your storylines should sort correctly.

For the navigation links, try this:

.widgets.webcomic-header a,
.widgets.webcomic-footer a {
  font-size: 200%; /* Or whatever size you like */
}

Good to know, thanks!

I put that in my custom.css but it’s still not working. The custom.css is supposed to go in themes/inkblot, right? Just making sure I’m not uploading the css file to a wrong place…

Might be a caching issue; I notice that in Safari (my usual browser) I’m not seeing the changes, but in Chrome (which I’d never used to visit your site) the links are much bigger.

As an update, Webcomic 5.0.3 should correct the issue that’s preventing storylines from sorting properly on that page.

Installed the update, and the archive is still out of order — not to mention the pages still being listed in reverse order. Will the archive page update/fix itself if I add a new comic page?

Apologies @keiiii; I misunderstood which items you wanted re-ordered. I went in and updated the shortcode and I think it’s good now. The order="desc" bit changes the storyline order; the webcomic="order=desc" bit (which I just added) changes the actual page order (the comics in each storyline). I also removed the orderby="title" bit, so the storylines should be in your specified order now (reversed, because of the order="desc").

Oh! Sorry, I think I’m the one who didn’t communicate it clearly. I want the chapters/storylines from earliest to latest (chapter 1, chapter 2, etc), and the pages within each storyline also in that same order (page 1, 2, 3 etc). Would that be order=asc?

Ah, ok; I think I got it now. I’ve removed the order="desc" part (which should get the storylines in the right order) and changed webcomics="order=desc" to webcomics="order=asc" (which should get the pages into the right order).

\o/ Woohoo! Thank you so much! And sorry this was such a pain to sort out…
