That is correct, Comic Easel is active and I have three comics published (I just did another one to make sure). The Comic Easel widget on the homepage updated properly.

I’m thinking this might be a lot easier for you if I simply wait to load the comic until the site is live, and then you can really see what’s going on. I’m hoping to get it going in the next couple of weeks, so I will pop back on here once that’s sorted.

Thanks so much for giving it a shot! Hopefully it’ll make more sense once everything is online. Many thanks!

Okay, I have done the following. I don’t get any change, but at least it doesn’t break the site. Hopefully this will make an easier jumping-off point for explanations.

I pasted this into the functions.php
add_action('__after_header', 'ceo_display_comic_area');

And this
<?php do_action('comic-area'); ?>
I placed underneath this
<?php do_action( '__before_loop' );##hooks the header of the list of post : archive, search... ?>
in my custom page template.

Doing this changes nothing on my site, but that’s still progress because before it was breaking everything haha. Cheers!

Hi Frumph! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! I’m still confused about what I’m meant to do. I am a total beginner when it comes to this stuff. If you have a minute to clarify a couple of points, I would be deeply grateful!

1) I pasted <br />add_action('__after_header', 'ceo_display_comic_area');<br /> into my functions.php file, but it gave me a parse error. Do I need something else? I’m also unclear on what you meant by “(ref: customizr header.php)”

2) Do I still need to paste <?php do_action('comic-area'); ?> somewhere?

3) Part of my problem is that I don’t understand how the one page I want to display the comic knows to do so, and all the other pages don’t do it. Is it a page template thing?

Sorry to be such a bother, thanks for your help!
