Aaah. Okay, I see what you mean now. I’ve only dealt with WordPress in regards to Comic Easel. I didn’t know Set Featured Image was a general function (I thought it was specific to WP.) That makes sense.

I tried updating the WordPress Media Library to see if that had any effect but it didn’t. What I ended up doing last time was your suggestion of using the search bar to find the pages one at a time (lol, super tedious.)

But thank you, I think I understand a little better what the actual problem is. Hopefully I can find something, otherwise, I’ll have to stick to uploading the pages directly into the site instead of organizing them in the Library first.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I didn’t understand your response.

Do you mean inside or outside of Comic Easel?

In comic easel on the “Add Comic” page there are three ways to upload an image:

Media-Selector
Add Media
Set featured Image

Trying all three I only see the Word Press Media Library folder structure when I use Media-Selector. Both Add Media and Set Featured Image give me that unsorted thousand image grid.

Honestly, it would be easier to use Media-Selector if it didn’t break the image resolution and the click page for next image function.

For reference, on my site: https://www.bridgefirecomics.com/blog/comic/nutcracker-cops-page-1/

The page loads in its full correct size as long as I use Set Featured Image to post it. Also, when you click the page it takes you to the next page. This does not work if I use Media-Selector or Add Image.

Hmmm. Interesting. WordPress’s media library plugin works fine and I can navigate through the folders I created, so I don’t know if that’s the problem either.

Comic Easel uses the same folder structure if I use the Media Selector option when trying to upload a page but NOT if I use the Set Feature Image option. This leads me to believe it’s got to be something in Comic Easel. (Because it works using one function but doesn’t work using another.)

To be fair, it’s also true that if I just upload the pages one at a time instead of uploading the entire book into WordPress this is a non-issue because I can use Set Feature Image to upload directly from my computer.

This was more of a problem when I was uploading old books I’d already done. Though it’s annoying that this problem exists.

Just wanted to add that on the “Add Comic” page, if I select “Media Selector” at the top of the page, then it does break the art down into the folders like it is in the WordPress Media Library, making it much easier to navigate; however, when I embed the comic page like this, it breaks the “click current page for next page” on the actual website AND the image resolution on the website.

Using Media Selector, the page sizes are smaller and readers can only navigate using the navigation menu. But if I use the “Set Feature Image” option to post the pages, then the resolution is normal and readers can either click the page to load the next one or use the navigation menu to click to the next page.

So the Set Feature Image option is better for the website functionality, but the media library that it loads into is broken compared to the “normal” media library you get either through wordpress or the Media Selector option.

Okay. So when I select “Set Feature Image” a window pops up and what I see is a grid of ALL the images I’ve uploaded into the media library (300 images or so.)

At the top of that window is the “Upload” tab and the “Media Library” tab. My problem is that under the Media Library tab the images cannot be sorted (or I don’t know where or how to change the sorting.) So when I’m trying to upload an image from the Media Library window, I have to dig through 300+ images to find the page I want to upload.

Now, if I navigate to the actual WordPress media library outside of comic easel, then I have no problem navigating to what I’m looking for because everything in the library is sorted into folders. But the comic easel library does not reflect the format of the wordpress media library, so essentially, all of the organized comic files in the library are useless inside comic-easel.

I’m just trying to figure out if that’s by design or if there’s a setting somewhere I’m missing.
