Chroniques du vert ours

Je suis désolé pour le caractère changeant de la présentation du blog en ce moment. Je tente d’installer correctement une fonction webcomic sur ma base de données WordPress, et j’ai du mal à faire en sorte que tout soit travaillable sans décalisser la totalité de mon contenu. Comme j’ai une audience tellement répandue, on le sait tous, ça serait dommage…

I am sorry about the presentation-hiccups my blog is undergoing at the moment. I am attempting to install a webcomic function as part of my wp database, and it seems I can’t do this the way I want. The ComicPress approach would be perfect if I could only assign a given category id to the comics themselves, and keep the other categories as they are. The StripShow adaptation of the ComicPress functionalities by author Brad Hawkins seems perfect for what I intent to do — except that, from what I understand, no comic is being shown if today’s date is “after” the date of the last comic. I wish I could just have the last one displayed all the time. I’m a lazy contemplative artist, I take far too much time thinking about my stuff before laying it down on paper (or wacom) and I like to think I’m not going to have a comic done for EVERYDAY. =o)

Am I missing a piece of information somewhere? The Monkeylaw site does displays the last comic (oct 19th) today, doesn’t it? I couldn’t see any reference to the types of problems I’m having on the StripShow help forum.

A bug I seem to be having at the moment is that if you access the root of the blog, you get a “NOT FOUND – Sorry, but no posts matched your criteria.” message in lieu of the recent series of posts. The only way to access the content is to click the links in the “Latest Blog Posts” section. Deactivating the plugin and switching to a regular theme fixes that. I’ve noticed that switching to another theme while having the plugin still active gets you an empty “not found” homepage, AND dysfunctional categories (of course that’s to be expected if the theme hasn’t been modified to handle the stripshow functions) the only way to get somewhere then is to know the exact URL of the post you want to access. RSS feeds are still being read okay though.

Additional info: FireFox user here, having same prob using IE 7, so I guess it’s not browser related. DB is being hosted at Dreamhost, initially one-click installed, and version is up to date. Using akismet plugin.

If a PHP monkey out there could help, I would appreciate! You get a free cookie from my server and the satisfaction of seeing the actual comics when all of this gets up and running

Update : Thanks to Monkey Angst, everything is working fine. I’ll try to remember to do things right next time I edit a critical index.php and forget about it.

I need to get a life.
