Idk if I’m doing anything wrong but I only get critical errors when I try to post a comic.

Migrating over from Comic Easel was quick and easy. To use the plugin without the theme, use the short codes. There is now even support for multiple comics (called series when a separate navigation is needed) with the short codes. Recommended!

Only catch is that you need the Toocheke theme to get it to work. Otherwise I am absolutely loving it!

The companion plugin itself is a cool solution to webcomics on wordpress that I had high hopes for. The plugin works and has a ton of helpful options. I especially like the compatibility with the newer comic formats as well as the more traditional ones as well as the ability to have multiple series running on one site. However, the theme required to make the companion work is a deal-breaker. The theme isn’t particularly flexible and is locked in to a few preset layouts with limited ability to adjust things – especially regarding comic navigation. If this were to be released as a standalone plugin without needing to tie into a specific theme I’d swap in a heartbeat. Until then, I’ll stick with other options.

Great plugin for publishing webcomics/webtoons/comics on your WordPress theme. Can only work with the Toocheke theme though!
