Manga+Press

Manga+Press 2.9 features some changes to its interface as well as some new features. First off, the changes:

1. Manga+Press no longer has its own top-level menu. To summarize the reason for this change: it seemed rather pointless for Manga+Press to have its own section. Here are the locations of the Manga+Press pages:
   1. Manga+Press Options is now located under Settings.
   2. Post New Comic is now located under Posts.
      • 2.5 introduced the option of using Add New to post comics, and if you want more control then that is what I’d suggest. Post New Comic is still limited to uploading files 500KB or smaller; using WordPress’s own interface gets around this limitation.
   3. Manga+Press Uninstall is located under Plugins.
   4. Series has been eliminated
   5. Manga+Press Dashboard has been eliminated.
2. As you know, Manga+Press 2.5 was supposed to have the option of automatically modifying your Latest Comic and Comic Archive pages but had to be eliminated due to issues. These options are now enabled in Manga+Press 2.9. To enable them, all you have to do is specify pages for Latest Comic and Comic Archives.
   • Tip:
     • If you wish to use your own custom pages, then this option can be disabled by not selecting any pages for Latest Comic and Comic Archive (or setting the dropdown to the blank option).
     • If you’re using a custom theme from WordPress.org, then it is suggested that you test whether or not that theme can handle the automatic insertion options. I do know that some themes—specifically magazine-style themes—don’t handle that option all that well so it is probably better to create a custom template page for your latest comic and comic archive pages.
