How to use the navigation?

I just found out that weasel is connected to a plugin called Comic Easel. I tried deactivating it, but then there’s no Comic button in my dashboard at all…

I just disabled Comic Easel, now how do I get my Comics button on my dashboard back? I read that it has something to do with Jetpack, but what do I do?

EDIT: Oh, and since I disabled Comic Easel, you won’t be able to see any of my comic pages. I don’t know why, this plugin likes to be a f***ing troll, apparently.

Hi there, have you activated the Custom Content Types module in Jetpack? That module is needed to see the new Comics custom post type in your dashboard.

You might also like to check out this Panel FAQ, hopefully it answers some of your questions:

Let me know how it goes!

Thank you for responding.

I did what you said and enabled the Custom Content Types module, and it told me, “To enable a custom content type, head over to Settings → Writing → Your Custom Content Types.” I did that, too, but I didn’t see the “Your Custom Content Types” thing. I uploaded a pic to the front page of my site for you to see.

The Comics custom post type (CPT) should be active automatically when Panel is the active theme, but I’m not seeing that in your screenshot.

I’m able to see the Comics CPT on my test site running Panel 1.1.2, Jetpack 3.7.2, and WordPress 4.3.1. It should look like this in your dashboard:

It’s possible that another plugin is conflicting with it, and it looks like you have quite a few installed. To rule out a plugin conflict, you could try temporarily deactivating all your plugins. Check the dashboard – do you see the Comics item in the menu? If yes, reactivate your plugins one-by-one, look at the site in between each reactivation, to find the conflict. You could also do this in the reverse order, deactivating your plugins one at a time.

The only plugin I have active is Jetpack now, but I still don’t have the Comics CPT. Should I try deleting and reinstalling Panel with my plugins off?

You could certainly give that a try.

Still didn’t work…. ugh…

Is there any code I can manually input? I realllly want the navigation thing under my comics.

If you don’t get the Jetpack Comics CPT working, you won’t have either the comics or the navigation that come with it. It just occurred to me that if your Settings > Writing screen isn’t showing options to activate Testimonials and Portfolios, two of the other CPTs that come with Jetpack, then it means the Custom Content Type module wither isn’t active or isn’t working correctly. A few more troubleshooting steps you could try are:

– deactivate all modules except Custom Post Types
– deactivate and reactivate Jetpack
– reinstall a fresh copy of Jetpack

If none of those work, I’d suggest contacting Jetpack support:

I got it working! Apparently it needed taken out of development mode and connected to WordPress.com (still don’t know why there’s a .org and a .com, but I digress).

I just have one more question before I close this. This isn’t necessary at all, but is there a way to flip the “Prev” and “Next” buttons on the navigation thing under the comic? My comic is Japanese-styled, which means it reads right-to-left. I’m afraid readers might get confused if they read right-to-left then click the right hand button to go to the next page.

Again, this isn’t necessary. And I am aware that if it is possible, I have to edit coding.

~Thank you for helping get it working,

Hi there, for the next/previous post navigation on single post pages, give the following a try and see what you think. I had to remove the arrows due to the way they were done in the HTML, but the position of the next and previous are switched.

[class*="navigation"] .nav-previous {
    float: right;
    text-align: right;
}
[class*="navigation"] .nav-next {
    float: left;
    text-align: left;
}
span.meta-nav {
    display: none;
}

I have a host of inquiries. For starters i had to reset my webhost that’s where majority of the issues i had came from. I’ve installed 7 comics however. I made 3 pages about,comics and political cartoons (menu tabs )none of them display. 2. The images/content take up all the screen with the exception of the footer. Lastly ( for now ) it won’t show up on my phone/mobile view-it reverts back to the old theme i had when i was initially was trying out this theme. https://Www.theflipsyde.com
Any pointers etc i’ll be thankful.

@flipdahacker — Hi there! I don’t see Panel currently on your site. If you decide to install it and have any questions, please start a new thread since this one is several months old.
