Donate
While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...

It would appear that my custom theme doesn't work well with stripShow. The autocomic funtion is on, but the comic isn't appearing on the main page. I've tried to make the comic appear on a seperate page, but to no avail. I was wondering if you could help me.
The website is located at splooga.net if you need to visually see my problem. Also if you need anything, like my theme folder, a donation
just let me know. I've been struggling with this for the past few days, and have gotten virtually nowhere
Thanks.

Well, I see the comic navigation links, but not the comic itself. I also see that it's not wrapped in the usual div. What are your AutoComic settings? Specifically, after what element did you tell it to show?

I have it setup to appear after the header ID. However, the navigation link wasn't showing till I manually added the code
<?php if (is_comic()) : ?>
<div style="width:100%; text-align:center">
<div class="comic"><?php show_comic(); ?></div>
<div class="comic-nav">
<div class="first-comic"><?php first_comic(); ?></div>
<div class="previous-comic"><?php previous_comic(); ?></div>
<div class="next-comic"><?php next_comic(); ?></div>
<div class="last-comic"><?php last_comic(); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
which you suggested to kenny in another thread.

So, after the element with class art-nav?

I think I may see the problem — each of your comic posts has an attached image, which makes me wonder if you're uploading your comics using the regular WordPress upload tool. This puts your comics in the uploads directory, not in the stripShow comics directory (which is seen via stripShow Options). If you don't have comics in this directory, stripShow won't find them.

That is probably why the comic isn't appearing. I've been getting errors through stripShow

I'm hosted by Godaddy, and using a shared server if that has anything to do with it.

Ah, OK. The comics folder will need to be made writeable. I can't give you specific instructions for how to do this, your host will have to help out.

After a little more digging around I found that the comics show up under the sandbox theme just not on my theme. Is there any way to use the framework from sandbox, but keep the overall design of my custom theme?

Yes, but it takes some work. You'd have to adapt your CSS to the names of the IDs and classes found in the stripShow Sandbox theme. I'm interested in why the comics would appear under sS Sandbox, but not your custom theme. Can you send me a copy of the theme in PM?

Alright I zipped it up and sent you a PM. (If I sent multiple messages that was an accident.)
