    I am still experimenting and trying to get a site up and working ??

    I have so many problems I cant begin to fathom how I could mess it up so bad, how do I use custom images for the navigation thing? how do I center the menu-items, how do I make the menu-items images reasonable sizes without losing quality or visibility?

    how do I make a distinct page for each of the five comics I am supposed to be hosting for several peopple, how do I make sure those pages only display blog posts relevent to that comic?

    how do I keep the comic from showing up on the front page?

    how do I set teh calender up to display the release schedule of each comic on the site?!

    how… everything….

    Edit the comic post comics -> all comics -> find the comic you want to edit, edit it and change the publish date.

    Are you saying you want all of the comic posts on the home page? (but not the comic itself?)

    … no, I am saying I want each comic to have its own individual homepage.

    I want that when someone clicks on the page, taht there be a consistant and persistant page that only displays the Dans Voyage content uplaoded too the site.

    I want it too look and function exactly like the homepage, but instead of every blog blog showing, only the Dans Voyage blogs to show.

    unfortunatly frumph… your method is… completely uselss :/ I am extremely sorry too say, it works but it isnt function or accesible for anyone.

    With your method there is no actual homepage, people cannot bookmark/favorite Dan’s Voyage, and immediatly be brought to the most recent comic…

    this person seemed to have a general idea of what I needed to do

    but his methods seem invalid on the most recent versions of comicpress and wordpress, because it just seems to break things….

    nevermind, I have determined that I am in fact in hell and suffering eternal torment.

    Not really, I do have a template file that can be added to a page as a ‘landing page’ for a comic.

    But hey, if you want to call my methods useless, go for it.

    its not that, its just that… the way my webcomic and site is set up, is that my website… is useless except for the individual comics. Each comic is goign to be invidually marketed, as part of individual universes and stories, all completely seperate.

    The method you keep talking about is good for sites that have a big fanbase already, because people will go to it and say “hey I wonder what new comics are up”

    But nobody gets to my site through the sites homepage, and thus I need individual homepages or… i guess landing pages as you call them, for each of my comics.

    Otherwise my content will be unreachable for the most part… as will supplimentary information.

    I did find a way to do this by using multiple installs of wordpress, but then teh blogs will not be linked between the sites and the logic procedure will be extremely complicated.

    I am sorry I am a huge jerk about this, but I have been trying since I set up the facebook page for my comic to get this working, basically half a year… and well… its just more stressful than it should be ??

    Right, again. I have a template you can use as a landing page for each comic, you create the page – associate the template; set inside the page editor what comic chapter it represents and you go to that URL it will show the comic.

    I’m going to modify it a little bit so you can set what you want it to display the first comic or the last and such.

    The problem with doing it this way is that non-comic widget areas will recognize the page and not the comic, but not a big deal really since you still have comic sidebars which will work fine

    it sounds like it will work fine, thank you so much for all of your help with this.

    Well where do I get the template or how do I use it or make it? I know how to associate the template, create the page, and all that stuff the only thing I dont know how to do is get the template itself.

    i’m working on it, not at the moment but will be done within this next few days/week soon as my day job gives me time to work on it

    I started converting my site as a whole to wordpress/comicpress… everything seems to be going horribly wrong. But I guess I am making it work.

    https://www.future-bound-entertainment.com/

    I am just updating the front page for now, and will be updating the individual comic-pages when I learn how to do that with the functionality I need.

    But I am hitting roadbumps… and I cant figure it out for the life of me what I am doing wrong. How the heck do I center the header-image for example…

    I did it before on my test thing, and now it isnt workign when I try to do the same thing… and like, how do I change the color of all the links from red to blue to match the logo… how do I remove this giant intrusive background from behind everything…

    Its all so confusing and every time I try something I end up invariably having to re-install everything…

    there’s a float: left; on .header-info you need to change and then margin: 0 auto; #header

    Thread Starter ralok

    (@ralok)

    changed it… wish I knew why it didnt work…

    I dont think I did that right…

    #header {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: 500;
    }

    Did u tried this?
