Chapter Help/Setup and Question

  • I have searched this forum for similar questions but nothing has helped, also the official website is down. Hoping to get some guidance from other users.

    Chapter Issue
    My comics all have chapters and I’m trying to set up those chapters in Comic Easel, but for whatever reason, I’m completely failing at it. I’ve read what is already out there on this subject but to no avail.

    The chapters aren’t connecting to each other…is there a dummy proof step by step on how to do this?

    Question
    Has anyone found a way to set up the post page differently? I saw that there was a shortcode string, but it left much to be desired. Has anyone found a way to have only the title page/cover page of the comic show on the post page and not every individual chapter that is posted? Kind of like Woocommerce products work. So then when you click on the comic title it brings you to another page where all the chapter thumbs are (which are properly connected to one another, navigational wise).

    Thanks in advance!

    What I ended up doing was create a gallery linked to a chapter. So you click on the comic cover and then it goes to the chapter.

    Hi illyaking, thanks for replying. Would you mind providing a link so I can see it in action? Really curious to see it realized.

    I also use a multisite install with a crosspost plugin and Elementor- https://mythosimprint.com/comics/.

    Hmm I really like how it looks! Whole site really and completely appreciate your solution; pretty much what I was hoping to achieve.

    If I might bother you a bit longer, which settings did you use to create chapters that are linked to one another. I have a parent ‘chapter/cat’ and chapters 1 and 2 are subs of the parent, but it hasn’t affected the linkage. I also placed links in the “Add url here or leave empty to use next comic or default none” input, but still nothing.

    I’ll add some screenshots which I hope will answer your questions

    Here is what I have my archive set up as. – https://i.imgur.com/zgpjOxR.jpg?1

    I’ve set up the subchapters in the comics section under import – https://i.imgur.com/m8kxNwL.jpg

    I’ve disabled the ability to go to the next chapters – https://i.imgur.com/sGncS7r.jpg

    I hope that helps
