Manga+Press 2.8.4 released!

Just released a new version of Manga+Press: 2.8.4. This version fixes a problem with comic navigation functionality, namely relating to the Group Comics and Group By Parent options.

Manga+Press 2.8.4 can be downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Repository or from Github.

Don’t mind the changes

Yeah, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I really did switch the theme to TwentyTwelve. My motivation for doing so was mainly because the original site theme was getting very long in the tooth — eh, that’s an understatement. The old theme was 6 years old and was last updated (visually) 4 years ago so it really needed to go.

Anyway, if you’re a frequent visitor then you’ve probably noticed the site randomly going down. That was me attempting to convert the Manga+Press site to WordPress MS while running Nginx (the switch to Nginx actually happened a while back). That turned out to be a pain to configure considering that I was running WP in a subdirectory. Sigh. Well, that’s done (finally) and we have a new, not quite complete, demo site in the bargain. Yes, if you want to view a frontend demo of how Manga+Press works, you can view the Manga+Press Demo Site.

Also, you’re not imagining things: I did have two or three posts up originally that outlined releases for Manga+Press 2.8.3 and 2.9.0-beta.4. Those posts were lost during the transition to Multisite. Essentially, moral of the story: back up your database.

In the meantime, there are more updates coming, the least of which is the release of Manga+Press 2.9!

Just a head’s up but Manga+Press 2.9.0-beta.1 has been released on Github, which can be downloaded as zip file [here]. This is still in development but ready for testing. I do not recommend using v2.9 on a live site just yet. Some of the things that have been changed in 2.9 include:

  • Updated navigation CSS
  • Removed “Order By” Option. Now defaults to date.
  • Removed “Use Theme Template” options. Now defaults to using theme templates.
  • Added contextual help tabs for options pages.
  • Added Calendar template tag for comics
  • Added filter for changing Comic post-type front slug (defaults to comic)

Once testing is done, 2.9 will be released, with the Spanish version following a few weeks later (2.9.1).

As usual, if you find anything wrong, leave a note on the WordPress Support Forums. Thanks!
