Trying to add cast images in Comic Easel / Comicpress

    Hello!

    I’m trying to add character images to my cast page in Comic Easel, and I’m having some difficulty.

    The Comic Easel site has a tutorial for how the page works here:
    https://comiceasel.com/shortcodes/cast-page/

    Now, in a very unhelpful fashion it says “Images are added to the cast-page with CSS.” – well, with all the templates and stuff built into the back of comicpress, my page is referencing around 15 different CSS stylesheets, and there’s no indication of which one I’m supposed to add the code to.

    Any ideas? I can’t figure out where I’m supposed to do this, nothing I’ve tried has worked and the tutorials all assume that cartoonists are all professional web developers.

    Your child theme’s style.css or the Jetpack plugins Edit CSS module or via theme companion plugin.

    It’s your choice which one you want to use to add the CSS to it, but do *not* add it to the main themes style.css or any other stylesheet that will update when your plugins/themes update, that’s why you use one of the mentioned above so it saves in a place where when something updates, it won’t get rid of it.

    Wellp, I don’t think I’m actually using a child theme right now, but the jetpack thing did help! I can get images into the page now.

    How do I edit the styling on the cast page? For example, I’d like to be able to split the text block in the character description up into paragraphs, but if I put html into the character description, it’s all stripped out. I’d also like to be able to change the images to not have a random blue box around them. The page is generated by a shortcode, so I can’t write the page manually either.

    I can put some code around the shortcode to display a html page as I like, but the bit that generates the list of characters and all the formatting in that section is entirely beyond my control at the moment.
