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...

Its telling me that the comics, thumbnail and special comics directory are not writable.
Is this a permissions issue?
My host will not allow 777 permissions if that is the issue.

Also, though I am able to activate the plugin it gives the following message when I do so:
"Installing stripShow…
stripShow has been successfully installed.
Could not create symbolic link to stripShow Sandbox theme in your themes directory.
Could not copy stripShow Sandbox Child Theme to themes folder.
Plugin activated."

It's definitely a permissions issue. In order for comic uploading through stripShow to work, the comics directory you specify must be writeable by your web server — on most hosts, this means writeable by a particular group. (What group that is varies by host) — it needn't necessarily be 777, but just enough permissions that the server process can write to the file. You'll need to ask your host what permissions are necessary.
If the permissions can't be changed, you'll have to upload comics the old-fashioned way (using FTP) rather than using stripShow's built-in uploader.

Ok, thank you.
So just to confirm, even if I cant resolve the permissions issue uploading the comics through FTP will work?
Also, what about this error?
"Could not create symbolic link to stripShow Sandbox theme in your themes directory.
Could not copy stripShow Sandbox Child Theme to themes folder."
Will that need to be solved through permissions for this to work properly?

Yes, you should be able to upload comics via FTP as long as YOUR user (rather than the web server's user or group) has write access.
And yeah, the same thing is true about creating symbolic links in your themes directory. You'll have to copy the example themes in there by hand, if you want to use them.
