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...

The title says it all. I'm relaunching trouble ticket so I installed the latest version of stripshow and used sandbox as my theme. Everything works fine, but I get those two error messages on my dashboard.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Also, one other thing.
When I placed all of my old comics into the comics directory I had the option to do backdated posts and it scheduled 58 of them doing one a day.
Is there a way to do the same thing, but just have all of them posted instead of having to wait two months?
Just curious.
Thanks again

TT, as for your first question, I'll need to test. I always ignore those messages in my testing, and to be honest (and this is a little embarrassing) I'm not clear on what should be done at installation… I think the software is supposed to create those folders, and if so, why are they not writeable?
But anyway, these folders are only an issue if you want to use custom thumbnails — there isn't actually a purpose for the special strips folder at this time. If you do need custom thumbnails, you will need to set the permissions on that folder so that the webserver can write to it. Consult your host for instructions.
As for backdating, I'm not sure I understand the question… you want to put up 58 days of comics, but have them already up? In that case, why not just make the first date 58 days ago?

Never mind about the comics backdating. I figured it out and actually decided to just start over with the strip after such a long hiatus.
As for the first problem, it just didn't create the folders in the first place. I might make them just to have the message go away, but since it's not hurting anything I'm not really concerned. I'll see what the feed looks like when I start uploading new strips though.
Thanks for the help. Now to start designing the site (again…)

okay, I think I'm just being dumb now. I want an image as my header, so I took out the code which displays the standard wordpress title and description contained within the "div-branding" container, which comes before the access but is still within the header. I replaced it with a centered image link and it's neither centered nor within the header.
What am I doing wrong? According to firebug everything should be lined up correctly.
Thanks!

Well, what I'm seeing at the moment is a big grey box. It's not entirely contained in the header (it's too tall) but it is indeed centered. What are you going for?

yeah, I removed the branding dividers and that centered the header fine. Now I need to get rid of the black bar at the top. Which stylesheet do I need to be editing?

In your case, the file that contains the border info is shiny.css, line 13. But don't edit that file — instead, in your child theme's style.css, put:
Let the template do its job — all the CSS can be undone or overridden in child themes.

okay, now I'm really lost. I don't even know if I'm using a child theme.
hmmm…
also, I just tried to upload a test comic and I'm getting the error "Could not upload 2010-10-18.jpg. It may already exist or you might not have the ability to upload files." for the file 2010-10-18.jpg

oh wow…!
I switched to child theme and it fixed like all of those problems….
NOTE TO SELF: STAY AWAY FROM SANDBOX BECAUSE I'M NOT A DEVELOPER!
Alright, now to figure out the comic issue.

nevermind, fixed.
I noticed the comic is a little to the right? Is that because of the comic aside space?

That's because the #comic div is 794px and your comic is 936.
You'll have to enlarge the div like this:

alright, one more dumb question for a while (hopefully)
So I'm using the stripshow sandbox child theme, and the style.css just links to the main css library. I don't need to edit those though right? What do I do? Do I just copy them somewhere and edit them there and put them in a new folder?
Sorry for the confusion, thanks!

The style.css in your child theme will use @import functions to bring in the stylesheets from the main stripShow Sandbox themes. You can add your own styles below that, or if you don't want the styles (like, say, you don't want the colors in colors.css) you can remove the @include lines.

I don't think it's importing, or I'm doing something wrong. When I switch from sandbox to child everything is just solid white.

Wow. OK, well, I think it's time for me to get in and poke around. Can you make an account for me, then give me the username and password in a private message?

Is there a way to increase the right sidebar to 200px?
I want to use the official twitter widget but it seems to need a 200px width to display properly. I've tried auto width in the widget settings and I've tried manually putting it at about 175, which seems to be the limit, and it still cuts a little bit off.
