Manga+Press

First off, I just found out that Manga+Press does not play well with WordPress’s Static Page settings. If you’re using your latest comic page as a static front page, you will have to create a custom page template and apply it to your latest comic page. If you need more info on custom page templates in WordPress, check out this page in the WordPress Codex for more information on how to create a custom page template. Also, check out my page on Manga+Press’s template tags, and there is a code sample available for download as well. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing some tests to see if I can integrate Static Page support but it seems like the “fix” causes more problems than it actually fixes.

Also, if you’re having issues with the “Powered by Manga+Press…” text in your footer ruining your layout, you can use this line of code in your theme’s functions.php file to remove it:

remove_action('wp_footer', 'mpp_add_footer_info');

I had a great idea for a companion plugin to Manga+Press: CharacterWiki! Which is exactly what it says it is. Basically, it would be a plugin that would allow you to create a Cast of Characters listing and/or a series guide. I have no idea when I can start development on this project but I hope it’s sometime soon!

And finally, I should have a Manga+Press API reference up in the next few weeks. I’m working on it as part of my senior portfolio since the development of Manga+Press is playing a major part in my portfolio.
