Archive options not working

    I’m using Webcomic with Inkblot. My Archive page simply lists the webcomic pages along with the blurb and other miscellaneous stuff that I don’t want.

    https://www.heartofkeol.com/archive/

    Currently I have the following Webcomic Archive options selected: show webcomics as text links grouped by storyline. I tried changing those settings, but that doesn’t seem to do anything to how the archive page is displayed…?

    I would like the archive to just give text links organized by storylines (along with storyline cover thumbnails — NOT with webcomic page thumbnails). How can I do that?

    The Webcomic Archive options only affect WordPress Pages using the Webcomic Archive page template. The https://www.heartofkeol.com/archive is an actual WordPress archive, not a page with the Webcomic Archive template applied. I’m not sure what Page you applied the Webcomic Archive template to, but that page should honor your settings and display webcomics appropriately.

    Thanks for responding! Problem is, it’s that page:

    Interesting… thanks for the screenshot. WordPress must be getting confused somewhere along the way and loading the wrong template. It looks like your post type archive URL is set to just archive, which might be the issue: WordPress can’t differentiate between archive the WordPress post type archive and archive the WordPress Page, so it’s going with the post type archive and completely ignoring the page you created.

    If you don’t care where collection links go, I would just change the post type archive URL setting to something other than archive (you can do this on the collection settings page).

    If you do care where collection links go, you’ll need to create a custom template for the post type archive. Try saving this template as archive-webcomic1.php inside the inkblot/webcomic directory (I’m assuming webcomic1 is the ID of your collection; you can find this on the collection settings page to confirm or adjust it as necessary).

    Assuming that works, you should be able to delete the Archive page you created and just link directly to the post type archive page from your navigation.

    Changing the URL fixed it! THANK YOU! ??

    The other thing… how can I get the chapter cover thumbnails to show up? The covers don’t seem accessible at all right now, in fact (i.e. they’re not linked from anywhere).

    Now the archive is located here, and it’s text-only.

    I just want the chapter cover thumbnails, and not the individual page thumbnails.

    Hm… I actually didn’t include an option for that in the Webcomic Archive page template. XD To get this, you’ll need to open up inkblot/webcomic/template-archive.php and modify line 29 so that it looks like this:

    <?php webcomic_list_storylines( array( 'webcomics' => true, 'target' => 'first', 'webcomic_image' => $webcomic_image, 'collection' => $webcomic_collection, 'show_image' => 'thumbnail' ) ); ?>

    The show_image property is the important one; you can set it to any valid image size WordPress recognizes (usually thumbnail, medium, large, and full).

    Thanks so much! Marking this as resolved.
