Huh, you’re right – I never even noticed that bug was there. Luckily, it was fixed by Comic Easel 1.15 or so.
If for some reason you can’t or are hesitating to update, you can fix the script yourself, too:
1. Open the Comic Easel files in FTP.
2. In the ‘widgets’ folder, open the file ‘archive-dropdown.php’.
3. Whereever it says
'exclude' => array($exclude)
change it to
'exclude' => explode(',', $exclude)
Either way you go, use the chapter IDs in the widget. I tried with one chapter title, it did not work.
Thanks so much, Max!
I’ve actually been using the most recent version of Comic Easel (1.15) but I never tried the chapter ID. Works properly now!!
