Just a solution for people that need Manga Press 3.0.1 to work with PHP 8.0 and higher.
For the file mangapress-posts.php on Line 369, either delete or edit out the code
echo implode($series_html, “, “);
It should now be PHP 8.1 compatible without any bug errors detected in WordPress.
Hello everyone,
Just want to ask if Manga+Press Comic Manager has its own way to display both Chapters and Pages in a dropdown/select button to choose a page you want to read? and then when you click any chapter it displays all its corresponding pages in another dropdown. SO basically, there will be 2 select buttons (Chapter and Page selection)
For example, I have 2 chapters, chapter 1 has 25 pages while chapter 2 has only 10 pages. When I click Chapter 1, the dropdown button will automatically display its pages (1-25) and vice versa.
Thanks in advance!
]]>Hello.
I have a sugestion for the plugin. The possibility of including an image (thumbnail) to represent specific series.
It would be useful for series synopsis pages.
This is it. Thanks!
]]>Hello,
I can’t get the comic book structure with series and chapters to work well.
Can you give me a hand?
I wish it was the same as the site function: https://www.wilderonline.com/serie/australia/1-perth.
I would like automatically to have buttons at the bottom like: next chapters, previous chapters, chapter list.
Let me know it’s urgent, greetings!
Michael
]]>Greetings Jessica,
great plugin! Two quick questions, if you have the time for me…
a) Can you insert random comic chooser in your navigation?
b) I’m still not sure how the whole category thing works. I mean, I am, but I wonder, is there a way for a reader to choose which category (comic series) he wants to read? Maybe a dropdown menu in the navigation or something? For example, I have two series, how can I as a reader choose to read only one?
I will translate your plugin to support your work since your donation system doesn’t work in my country.
Best,
Arnel
]]>A general note to all Manga+Press users. If you’re having issues with Manga+Press 4.0, it’s recommended that you stay on the previous version of Manga+Press (3.0) on your production servers. 4.0 is a complete re-write from the ground up, and as such, themes that were compatible with older versions won’t be compatible with the newest version.
Apologies if this wasn’t made clear in my last blog post, but since 4.0 is still technically beta (release candidate still implies some instability), it’s better to stay on 3.0 until documentation has been updated.
Thanks for understanding.
]]>A recent update seems to have broke my comic pages. All of the “Latest Comic”, “Comic Archive”, & individual comic pages now have none of the styling of the rest of the site’s theme (compare the linked page to the homepage). Also the comic images are cropped to 250×250. If you look at the html for the images you see that the url for all the srcset images are being locked to 250×250 even the ones specifically labeled as higher (the 500, & 750)
]]>I’ve been building a child theme for twenty twenty and found that whenever I navigate to manga press pages (latest, archive, individual comic pages) the theme’s header is no where to be found.
I see a
do_action('mangapress_get_comic_header');
in all of the manga+press template files but after tracking it back through the various php files in the plugin I run into a dead end at
do_action("mangapress_get_template_part_{$slug}", $slug, $name);
in the theme_functions.php file.
I may be reading this improperly, I am a php novice, but that do_action should evaluate to
do_action("mangapress_get_template_part_header", header, comic);
I have not been able to locate the add_action for ‘mangapress_get_template_part_header’ anywhere in the plugin files.
Perhaps this is the wrong place to be looking for the issue.
Any insights on what I may be missing would be very helpful.
Thanks.
Joe
]]>Hi,
We’ve recently noticed that the comics aren’t rendering correctly.
It seems their container is gone.
Is this something that has happened for others?
Thanks in advance.
]]>For the options “Latest Comic Page” and “Comic Archive Page”, the following error is displayed:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ***system file path***/wp-content/plugins/mangapress/src/Options/Fields/Types/Select.php on line 61
The drop down lists for both are still present and appear to “save” settings but I don’t believe the archive functionality is working….
Wordpress: 5.3.2
Manga+Press: 4.0.0 RC3
Theme: twenty nineteen, per Manga+Press documentation.
Side note: So far I think the plugin is great. Hoping these warnings can be resolved or ignored as I continue to work out the stylings of the site.
Thanks for reviewing….

hi ,
i want to comic image link that act like next page link .
when click on image go to next comic page .
tnx
]]>My webcomic is a gag comic, with the occasional storyline and I want to be able to share the stories with a single link. The “series” function seems to achieve this but I have a few issues:
1) How to customize the “series” slug url – we would like “story” instead.
2) Is there a way to have an archive view of all the series?
3) Is there a way to show that a current strip is part of a series, like have a link to the series – and if the comic is not part of a series than the link does not show.
4) How to customize the series pages to show the comic strips that comprise the series in a single page – like one image after another (the user can scroll down to read).
Thank you for making this plugin – the simplicity is awesome.
]]>Heya all;
This is more a cosmetic question. I managed to get the links for the navigation centered thanks to a previous thread I read through. However, I wanted to know if there was a way I could replace the links in the navigation CSS with images, like on webcomic sites like this.
How would I go about this? I tried the CSS route, but that just added a background image where I want to make the entire image replace the text link itself.
Thanks ahead of time for the help! I left the CSS example up since it captures the “spirit” of what I wanted to do, haha.
My comic archive pages are always much smaller than my “current” comic page. I’ve narrowed it down to something to do with the srcset responsive images that get generated but I can’t figure out if its this plugin or something else doing it.
]]>The beta version of Manga+Press 4.0 is out and ready for testing! It’s not in the WordPress repo yet since it is beta. Please see this blog post for more information and where to download. You can post your bugs here, but please tag the post as “beta”
Thanks!
]]>I can’t get my comic images to display big enough to read. I am using larger files, and I have set all my themes dimensions to full width. In the Manga+Press options I have the comic page size set with large dimensions.
When I first post a new page, it is full width, but after I scroll with the navigation, it shrinks in size.
Is there an option I am missing in the comics uploading function that is causing this?
Thanks.
]]>Steps to reproduce:
While a comic image appears in the Archives page for me and in the backend, it doesn’t show up on the frontend. I’ve tried everything from disabling plugins to reinstalling WordPress…and I’m still having problems. Am I missing something? Do I have to take additional steps to make this work? Originally I had it working with a child theme I developed, but no matter what theme I use, I still encounter this error.
I’m currently running it with Twenty Fifteen, and I’m getting no feedback from the console. Any ideas? ;A; /
]]>First off I’m using a multisite network.
I followed the instructions on the Manga+Press front page to make sure everything was Network Enabled but I’m still having issues.
When I set up my “Latest Comic” and “Archive” pages on the home site of the network, everything is perfect.
But I when I do this on the sub-directory site, those choices are removed (returns to “select”) after saving. Basically, I am unable to save the latest or archives on a page of my choosing. Any fix for this.
Using BeTheme and BeTheme Child (network enabled).
]]>I was trying to figure out how to take the functionality of the “Next” button and apply it to the comic images on each single page. The reason is being asked by someone saying it makes browsing mobile much easier.
I’ve narrowed it down to somehow putting in correct dynamic link code on single-comic.php from something in template-functions.php
Again, I’m just trying to have the comic pages clickable to the next page, mainly for mobile users.
Somewhere in this code needs changed I presume?
<?php mangapress_comic_navigation(); ?>
<div class="mangapress-media-img">
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( get_post_thumbnail_id(), $thumbnail_size, false );?>
</div>
<?php mangapress_comic_navigation(); ?>Hi again,
I had two comics displaying correctly yesterday but upon adding a couple more today, it displays on Latest Comic but if I move to First then use Next, next etc. The comics uploaded today don’t display.
They display on the Series page, so are there but I can’t see why.
Moved to using Isola Theme.
Sorry.

]]>Just setting up plug in with Relativity Theme. It’s all working but when I move from ‘Previous Comics’ page (in thumbnails) it displays the chosen comic on ‘page-2’ but the comic pushes up over the menu buttons.
It only does this on this page. All the others display great.
If I can solve this one problem, I’m up and running.
Using Chrome browser (Avast SafeZone version).
Kind regards – Russ
]]>Hi,
First, thanks a lot for this plugin. I’ve search a whole day and night trying to find the perfect fit and when looking at examples of websites using your plugin, I felt like it was a perfect fit for my needs.
However, something “weird” happens, that is maybe a mistake on my side and / or maybe something easy to correct with custom CSS or an option.
So what happens is that, the first comic shows correctly but if you click on “first” and “previous”, then it shows the comic in an archive “post” format instead of staying in the plugin format. It also shows the comic aligned to the left and all blurry even tho the comic size img is way bigger than what it is shown.
You can see an example if you head to https://meow.ink/comic
I checked the options and your faq and things seems to be setted up correctly but maybe I am missing something.
Further informations :
– I use a custom theme that I bought.
– I don’t have many plugins as well, something like 10-14 that are all necessary plugins either for products sync or security and speed like cache.
– The webcomic is part of my online store.
– I decided to use your plugin because I am unable with my current knowledge to do what your plugin does by myself.
– I saw a thing called “Loop” that can be added as CSS but I am unsure what this loop thing does or how to configure it properly if I need it.
– Since the comic is on an online store “platform”, for security reasons, I would prefer to give detailled information only if needed and if so, by e-mail and not on a public forum where everyone could see.
Thanks a lot again and if you need further information, just ask.
]]>Hi there, I was wondering if you know how to move the comic title and info/meta below the comic image? If you look at the link, you can see:
PAGE ONE
Then:
August 15th, 2017 / Jack Stokes / 0 Comments
Then the comic image. I’d like the title and info/meta to be below the comic image (between the First/Prev/Next/Last navigation and the Disqus thread). I’m sorry if that sounds really complicated, I would just like to know if it is possible. Thanks!
]]>I went to Manga+Press Options >> Navigation Options, I followed to instructions of copying the /* comic navigation */ code into the style.css of my theme, but nothing seemed to change. Also, no matter what I try, I can’t change the style.css of my theme to have centered navigation. Please help!
]]>I’m not having technical problems but wanted to ask a theoretical question since I’m still new at this. So sorry if this doesn’t exactly belong in a support forum.
I want to make a web comic site that functions with the cohesive navigation of a manga site. A site that can release numerous lengthy web comics simultaneously. Each web comic would have a separate chapter select, each chapter containing a mass of pages. Would this be possible and are there any known examples?
I’d appreciate any help.
I was thinking, the one thing that keeps Mangapress from being the truly best, is that it forces the comic image to only fit within the space given.
So if you’re running a theme that has to have that side column left or right, the comic image has to fit in there, shrinking it down.
If you turn off the side columns, then you lose that functionality, which is a turn off as well.
As it currently stands, it prevents a true comics reading experience.
Solution:
Allow the comic image to pop-up into a lightbox that has navigations between comics within that series.
I’ve spoken to a lot of comics readers discussing this plugin and how it displays, and they would love that. I think you would see an overall increase in use if you allowed that.
Alternatively, any sort of ability to view the comic image, unconstrained with the space given, would be a great way to improve Mangapress.
The technology does exist, so why not utilize it?
Can you add something?
Thanks!

]]>I’ve added new comics to my website and the nav buttons don’t line up now that they actually have something to navigate to. It displays like this on the latest comic, and first comic page.
Here’s the latest comic page: https://www.sentaliohub.com/comic/
]]>I would like to center the comic on the page with the nav buttons centered below it. My coding skills are very basic. I know how to edit the style.css file, but I don’t know how to actually get it to center. Please help.
]]>Hi, first off I want to say this plug-in has been SUPER USEFUL for the years that I have been using it, but recently I have run into a problem.
I updated WordPress and the Manga+Press Comic Manager and then this problem showed up.
When I try to create a new comic chapter under Lists and my series, I get this error:
WordPress database error: [Column ‘scanlator’ cannot be null]
The main problem is that there IS no scanlator column, so I’m stuck.
I don’t know much about editing a plug-in so any very specific advice would be very appreciated.
]]>Hello,
I am putting together a little website for a project comic I’m doing. Your plugin will show the comic on the front page when I use the default theme (Twenty Sixteen), but when I use a child theme it does not. I have tried both the version here and the beta version on your github.
Also, while using the default theme the front page shows only the comic and navigation. It does not show the comment section below. When the navigation is used to click to another comic, it takes you away from the main page to the single comic page. Like clicking a post and going to it.
Is this typical behaviour of this plugin? Do I have something setup incorrectly?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Colton
