First Page widget going to Last Page, Previous going to Next

  • I’ve run into a weird issue working on my friend’s comic site. I’ve been using the Webcomic plugin for a couple of months now, and been using the navigation widgets that install with the plugin (First, Previous, Next and Last page of the storyline). They have been working as expected up until today, where I made some changes to the comic storyline. Here is what I did, to the best that I can recall:

    • Noticed there was a page in the wrong place, so I moved it down in the comic order using click-and-drag on the comic dashboard screen. The page was originally the latest page.
    • Realized the page was in fact a duplicate, so I deleted the page from the comic.
    • Changed some of the page titles, as well as their permalinks.

    Now, the First Page widget links to the last page of the storyline, and the the Previous Page widget links to the next page of the storyline. The linked page is a random one in the middle of the comic storyline. If you go to the last page in the storyline, the navigation widgets don’t appear at all (presumably because all navigation widgets are linking to the Next or Last page of the storyline, neither of which exist from that page).

    Things I’ve tried to resolve the issue:

    • Revert the page titles and permalinks back to their original versions.
    • Delete the navigation widgets and then re-implement them.
    • Delete the existing last page and then reupload it.

    Any help or insight would be much appreciated!

    Hi, are you still seeing this issue from your end? I clicked through to page 37, and it all looks good to me — the “First” arrow goes to the cover page, “Previous” goes to page 36, “Next” goes to page 38, and “Last” goes to (as of this comment) page 42. (Which has working “First” and “Previous” buttons.)

    I set up a temporary solution to the problem. I made a script to manually set the correct links to the “First” and “Previous” buttons, which is why they are going to the correct pages currently, but that needs to be updated when new pages are uploaded.

    By default those buttons are still behaving the way that I described in the OP, and I am still looking for a permanent solution. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a good way to display the bug now without breaking the navigation again. The biggest indicator are the classes being added to the arrows by the plugin. On the “Last” page, the “First” and “Previous” buttons are being assigned the “current-webcomic” by the plugin which indicates those arrows should be hidden, but I am overriding that behavior with CSS (that class should only be appearing on those arrows on the “First” page).
