Archive by category?

Okay if its comicpress 2.9 I fixed it and will have a new download available later today.

I downloaded the update for ComicPress. I still don't see the option to have it list all the posts by category. In fact, most of the links in the new archives page are completely broken. Some templates create links to the categories automatically, but it's still not what I'm looking for.

Ideally, I'd like:

Hello? Is anyone still there?

Ever since the update, my site has been half-broken. Most of my past posts can't be accessed publicly, even though they are still clearly shown in the Edit Posts option. Those broken posts can't be accessed by direct link nor by back/previous from the adjacent entries.

The Archive is still broken and removing the categories entirely has done nothing to solve the problem.

The "/?p=" style links on other people's sites don't work, so all my traffic is getting pointed to a 404 and I can't do much about it.

I came in with a minor problem and you gave me a major one. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?


Edit: I set permalinks back to the non-pretty default. That made the old posts visible again, but some have different links than before. So I'm where I started, only with all my traffic screwed up.

Yeah that doesn't sound good, let me go over this forum post and see what was going on because that shouldn't have happened.

It appears that if you used permalinks and they didnt work it means that the .htaccess file wasnt being used or served properly.

Does your hosting allow for .htaccess files?

I see an .htaccess file, and my host (HasWeb) claims it supports them. I haven't had any weirdness prior to turning pretty permalinks on, and I've been running the site over six months.

[Frumph]

well yeah cause you werent actually using it


can you paste the contents of the .htaccess into a post here?

You'll have to figure out a different way to do the no-hotlinking thing because what that did was corrupt your .htaccess file

[RustMonster]

I replaced the old .htaccess with your example.

Setting the permalinks to the pretty format "/archives/%postname%" caused the same exact problems as before: The "/?p=" style links are broken, and lead to the archive page. Most of the posts can't be accessed, as before. Not all, just the earliest 40 out of 55 lead to a "page not found" page.

I have storyline structure turned off and all the posts belong to the default "Comic" category.

Apparently Frumph has given up. Anyone else have any ideas?

Merely turning on any sort of pretty permalink makes half the content inaccessible, even through the admin panel. Despite looking correct in the status bar, the links just bring the viewer to the Archives page, and the "/?p" style links don't work when the pretty permalinks are activated.

[RustMonster]

I hate bumping topics, but I still need some help. None of the suggestions in this thread have fixed the problems I've been having, and Frumph seems to be carefully avoiding the whole mess now.

P.S. Looking around the rest of the forums, I see that installing WordPress or ComicPress in a subfolder (instead of the host's public_html directory) seems to cause some problems. Since I have it installed in a subdirectory, could that be the issue? If so, what's the fix?

/%category%/%postname%/

That works, in that all the posts are accessible by both their new pretty permalinks and the original "/?p" links. But the archive page still doesn't list the posts by category.
