Theme "Panel" for webcomics doesn´t work as promised

  • krakelcomics · Member ·

    I wanted to install the theme named Panel, because it´s designed for webcomics, after I already started uploading some strips. I haven´t seen it before and I was excited to try it out.

    The theme promised to be easy to use by transferring posts containing my pics into comics. (or so I understood the theme page) Then they were to appear at the front side with navigation buttons.

    But there is no comic, when I follow these steps.
    There are no buttons as well to navigate.
    Should I start all over, creating my krakelcomics completely new, using this theme?
    link to the theme: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/panel-webcomics/

    So far, I´ve put up a note on the front page that I´m working on stuff.
    What I want is that all the strips from my “Comics” tab to appear in the promised theme style with navigation buttons.

    I would´ve asked for help at the link, but comments are closed…
    If you need further information, pls let me know.
    T.Hanks in advice.

    I guess I got it already. I missunderstood it.
    I managed to upload a thing, but it always doubles my entry. :I

    it always shows
    – big comic
    – image title
    – same strip, just a little smaller
    – navigation buttons

    forget the first post: how to solve THIS problem now?

    Did you set the comics as featured images? This looks to be one of the themes that doesn’t show them on the main page unless they’re featured, which is stupid because it’s a comic: you’ll only HAVE one image per post.

    I don´t know how to do that, so I guess not.

    How to do that?

    Featured Images

    Ah, I see.
    I have this featured image thing working – that´s the bigger version of the comic strip I mentioned.

    However,
    when I delete the featured image and keep the image in the text area, the navigation buttons disappear.
    When I delete the image in the text area and keep the featured image instead, the navigation buttons disappear.

    I guess I have to play around with pic sizes, visibility, etc.

    Ok. finally got it.
    I don´t what problem occured at first, but now everything works perfectly fine. (oversleeping a problem really seems to help. :D)

    I can upload comics, posts and they all appear on my front page and I also got the navigation buttons. Thanks for helping. :)
