Well, I did something stupid…again, but I think it might work out.
I tried installing the Comic Easel plugin and then converted all the Animus Funnies posts to it…and then they wouldn’t work anymore. GRAAAAH!
But now they’re working, and I even have navigation buttons!
BUT
The Featured Content feature of the Suffusion theme doesn’t recognize the Comics post type, so the comics are no longer listed there. The latest comics are now listed in the sidebar separate from the other recent posts. Also, the comics navigation buttons are just below the latest comics list in the sidebar. For the life of me I can’t get them to appear in the comic posts like they’re supposed to.
It’s a minor inconvenience and I may go back to the way things were, but for now we’ll see how it goes. The French comics are staying the way they are.
Are you adding the comic image as the “featured image” of the post? .. That’s what makes the comic-area display with the navigation under it. Just adding the image to the post does not work.
