I read the words.
I see the code.
I don’t understand anything. XD I’m so sorry, my knowledge is just not enough.

Is there a way to perhaps just duplicate the code for a landing page? Make it into a page template?

Right now it’s so perfect — shows the latest comic and the blog area. That’s it, that’s all it has to do. Is there a way to just duplicate and “point” it to the overall comic URL, not just a current chapter URL?

Hi Mr. Frumph,
I set up a landing page for the current chapter – which does serve my needs for now. Thank you so much!

The downside is that I’ll need a new URL for each chapter. I’d still love to have a permanent “latest” page.

I’m trying to set up a page template, but I can’t figure out how to implement Comic Easel code into it.
Could you please take a look at this?

<?php 
/*
Template Name: LatestComic
*/
get_header();

do_action('comic-area'); 	

do_action('comic-blog-area'); 

if (!comicpress_themeinfo('disable_blog_on_homepage')) {
	
	if (have_posts()) {
		while (have_posts()) : the_post();
			get_template_part('content', get_post_format());
		endwhile;
		if (comicpress_themeinfo('enable_comments_on_homepage') && (comicpress_themeinfo('home_post_count') == '1')) {
			$withcomments = true;
			comments_template('', true);
		} else 
			comicpress_pagination();
	}

} 

get_footer(); 

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks again for all your help.

bcworkz, thank you so much for the reply. Yes, it’s definitely the plugin that requires special handling. It makes a separate type of post, so on my dash I have the options to make a page, a post, or a “comic.” That’s what’s messing me up, because I don’t understand how the “comic” posts integrate with the theme template.

I’ll keep trying to reach the plugin author. In the meantime, can I ask if there’s a place I could hire a WP developer for such a small thing as making one page?
And is that kind of work usually billed by the hour or per project basis?

Thank you very much,
Chama

Mr Frumph, here’s what I’ve tried so far:

I duplicated the “index.php” file, and renamed it as “latestcomic.php”
Gave in the template name “Latest Comic”

Then I made a new blank page titled “latest,” and set the page template to “Latest Comic.”

So now, in theory, when I got to http://www.chamastories.com/thesunprince/latest/
I should see what the index file would’ve called up, right? I should see the latest comic displayed with all the sidebars. Basically what the default home page would’ve looked like.

It’s not working, tho. Please please let me know how to fix it! (Probably super simple, I’m just not seeing it. XD)

Thank you

Josh! Thank you!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

I have to batch upload 35 things, and you saved me a whole lot of unnecessary labor. 😀
