Mike replied to me about the problem and has fixed it in the latest update to the plug-in.

I sent a small donation to his PayPal to say thank you for continuing to support this plug-in. Anyone reading this may want to do the same.

It’s called Webcomic Matcher. When Webcomic is activated, it’s located in the WordPress sidebar dashboard under Tools.

The best way I’ve been able to get it to work is to select a comic collection and choose Title and Title for the two dropdowns. This works well because I make my image titles the same as my page titles. It will then show a list of pages that you’ve created that are missing images, and it will also show the orphaned images that are not yet associated with pages. Then you check the boxes for the ones you want to match up. Then click to associate them.

So until this is fixed, you can upload your images, create your pages, re-enable Webcomic, and match them up.

In my limited testing, you can also upload images while Webcomic is activated by using the ‘Media > Add New’ feature in the WordPress sidebar and selecting the list view button. It’s located underneath the “Media Library” heading near the top of the screen.

Once your image is uploaded, you will see an “Uploaded to” header in the list view’s image details. Click “Attach” there and you can attach each particular image to any existing comic page.

Hope Mike will see either of these soon.

Yes, I did have debug mode turned on. It was for other issues. Then I saw these warnings and thought I’d let you know.

Turning off debugging turned off the warnings.

Closing as resolved.

Everything looks good except for one thing. When you click the comic itself it reloads the page you’re on instead of advancing. It is supposed to advance to the next comic. “20-1” should advance to “20-2,” and so on. That’s how it worked before.

Either way, I’ll give your plugin 5-stars for the great customer support. Thank you!

Here is the html and php in place for the child theme. When you visit the pages linked above, you can see that “$collection = get_webcomic_collection();” appears at the top of the page when it shouldn’t.

<div id=”blog_post_content”>

<?php the_content(); ?>

$collection = get_webcomic_collection();

<?php
$webcomics = !is_paged() ? new WP_Query( array(
‘posts_per_page’ => 1,
‘post_type’ => get_webcomic_collections()
) ) : false;
?>

<?php if ( $webcomics and $webcomics->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $webcomics->have_posts() ) : $webcomics->the_post(); ?>
<div id=”webcomic” class=”post-webcomic” data-webcomic-shortcuts data-webcomic-gestures data-webcomic-container>

<?php random_webcomic_link(); ?>
