FAQ

I’m using the bundled theme for TwentyEleven, -Twelve, or -Thirteen but the Custom CSS and/or Insert Navigation options have no effect? Or they add a second navigation bar

This is because the navigation for the comics is built into the theme. Using a different theme or overriding the default theme’s template will allow you to use the options. (however, see issue #17 for additional issues)

Does Manga+Press work on WordPress Multi-site?

Yes, it does. However, a few steps must be taken to make Manga+Press’ child-themes available to your network. See the question below on the steps to take to enable the child-themes on Multisite.

The bundled themes aren’t available in WordPress Multi-site. What’s going on?

This is because the plugin hasn’t been activated for the entire MS network. In order for the child-themes to be available, Manga+Press must be available to the entire network. This can be done by going to Network Admin > Plugins and clicking the Network Activate link for Manga+Press. Once this is done, then both the parent- and child-themes need to made available to the network as well. This can be accomplished by going to Network Admin > Themes, selecting the themes in question, choosing Bulk Actions > Network Enable, and then clicking Apply.

Is Manga+Press responsive?

Not by itself. However, Manga+Press doesn’t really output markup other than the comic navigation. Responsiveness depends on the theme that is being used. The themes bundled with Manga+Press — the TwentyEleven thru TwentyFourteen child-themes — all have some level of responsiveness that is dependent on their parent themes.

Is Manga+Press compatible with Advanced Custom Fields

Yes, it is! Manga+Press is simply a stripped down custom post-type with a custom Featured Image meta-box. Like any other post-type, you can add a new field group using ACF — however, you will have to configure your theme to display these custom fields.

Is Manga+Press compatible with the WPML plugin?

I have never had the chance to test Manga+Press with the WPML plugin so I can’t really guarantee compatibility. Since Manga+Press works like a standard WordPress post, and WPML is compatible with custom post-types, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Do you take feature requests?

I do take feature requests, but I also judge each request on the basis of how well the new feature fits into Manga+Press’ current functionality and also how feasible the new feature is to implement into Manga+Press’ core.

I was searching for a great, yet simple plugin to set up on my Wordpress blog for my web comics and I found this one. It’s easy to configure it and upload your comics. Some features are still missing, as far as I can tell (random comic?), but I see no reason why you shouldn’t be using this one. It’s free and additional customizations are available through CSS. Give it a shot!

UPDATE: After talking with the plugin author on the support forum, it turns out my problem was created by conflicting plugins. I wouldn’t have figured that out without Jess. Thank you for the plugin! I love Manga+Press from the UI alone. Instead of running around trying to configure databases and what not, it allows me as an artist more time to focus on the craft and less time scratching my head. I want to donate to it and keep this project alive as I see it going places.

The Manga+Press plugin is so much simpler than any other webcomic plugin out there. It is so easy to use, and the plugin support is always fast and efficient.

I’ve been using this plugin for over a year now and of all the webcomic plugins I found this to be the most efficient. It may be simple but it’s fast, reliable and really easy to use. I had no problem making it work with my template and I never encountered any weird glitches or errors with my content. I do have some minor nitpicks and wishes for future updates if the creator ever decides to continue his work. 1) A «random comic» button in the navigation under the comic image would be nice. Perhaps even let us exclude certain categories/series to give us more control. 2) Better social media compatibility. All SM plugins I used seem to have troubles reading the image for me to share. Reddit seems to work, facebook works occasionally and twitter / thumblr don’t find the img at all. 3) More control and options for the archive subpage – perhaps let us display and order the categories manually; would be really useful when you have more than 1 category associated with a comic (I’m using css to hide classes to make this work at the moment) In short; this plugin may lack some features of other more complex ones but it makes up for it for better easy-to-understand usability. A good plugin if your starting out with webcomics and you cant be bothered to invest too much time in programming a complex webcomic site.
