Manga+Press 2.7.3 has been released. This includes a bug-fix/feature request dealing with the “Group by Category” feature. There is now a secondary feature that also allows you to restrict grouping to a parent category. For example, you have a comic that is grouped in a category that is a child-category of another category. Normally, “Group by Category” would simply use that sub-category. The “Group By Category Parent” option allows you to restrict grouping according to that category’s parent.

Also in this release, I’ve included some minor bug-fixes that would’ve affected a small number of people using WP_DEBUG as well as extensive testing to ensure that Manga+Press 2.7.x works with WordPress 3.5.

Manga+Press 2.7.3 is coming out soon. This version fixes an issue reported by a user on the WordPress Plugin Support forums relating to grouping comics by category. There is a beta of 2.7.3 in the WordPress Plugin repository now, you can download it [here] now for testing. I’ve been waiting on releasing this version because I want to test it out a little more to make sure it doesn’t break anything or cause more problems.

Be warned: if you use the “Group by Category” feature, this might change the behavior you’re used to.

Update at your own risk!
