Hmmm, ok, understood. Well thanks so much for all the code Kathryn, you’ve been a tremendous help!

I want to see the comment section connected to the respective comic in the space where there is currently a comment section attached to a blank page.

I think this is a feature of the (upgraded) panel theme- the image changes when I use the navigation but the page itself isn’t changing. I’ve noticed in my WordPress stats that the untitled blank page is getting hits, but my individual comics are no longer getting any. The website isn’t actually going to the pages which hold the comics (and subsequently their comment sections), it’s just bringing up the comic in the homepage’s space, while not actually physically navigating back and forth. It’s like a slideshow.

If you go to my homepage now, at the bottom there is a comment that says “test”. If you go to a previous comic, that section, with the “test” comment, remains, and continues regardless of where I navigate to (first comic, previous, random, last), unless I reload the page. Then a comment section for the appropriate comic shows up. I have left another test comment on the previous comic, which you can’t see unless you reload the page once you get to it.

So if someone went to my website homepage, and left a comment, it would stay on the homepage forever, even though they meant it for a specific comic. That comment section is not “attached” to any comic.

Okay, awesome, thanks! It’s almost perfect except for one little snag- the comments section that loads is one for the blank page I created as the static post.

If I were to navigate from the front page, that comment section would remain and override the comment sections for each individual comic. Refreshing the page brings up the respective comic’s “actual” comment section. I’ve put up a test comment as an example.

Is there any way around this?

Ok, so I removed the vertical ad, plus another invisible ad space that Google has been “approving” for about two months now (??).

So the formatting looks good now, and navigating back and forth is much more aesthetically and functionally appealing.

There is still the final issue of the Disqus comments section not showing up on the main page/ when you navigate back from the main page.

It appears if you refresh the page (on any comic not on the main page), and also when you link directly to a comic not on the main page, but otherwise it’s not there. It’s almost as if there are two “versions” of a page a user can access, one with the Disqus comments and one without.

Is there any solution to this?

Thanks again for all the help.

Hi Kathryn,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I’ve done what you told me and it is partly what I wanted. The blog posts on a separate page is ideal, so I’m glad that’s out of the way.

However now there is a large empty space below the comic that serves no purpose. It’s effectively still the same problem as before, only now there is no content there, just a vast grey box.

Navigating back and forth from the front page doesn’t get rid of that space.

I would like for it to look as it does when I directly link to a comic page:

As you can see directly beneath the navigation there is a comments section instead of blank space, and it just looks a lot neater. Is there any way I could get that right from the outset? Or at least get rid of all that blank space?

Thanks!

Accidental double post, sorry.
