- Added proper navigation for seperate chapters/storylines for comics, and options to display on home page
- made featured images in the rss feed be ‘thumbnails’ instead of full images
- modified the header browser line for the description, if no description, no extra -only show the – description if there *is* a description
- added google translate widget
- internalization fix for the wp-pagenavi code, removal of adding it as an db save
- menunav moved below execution of the wp_nav_menu now so that if it does scroll over the menunav displays below and not the menu

- new feature, breadcrumbs
- fix for backlinks-template.php
- featured image now set to ‘large’
- new google translator widget
- translation files default.po/.mo are updated so that the theme can be translated
- some tweaks for better child-theme creations
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this!
Glad to Wacko!
Great addition with the breadcrumbs. Was wondering, would it be possible to get “Blog” out of it? Also, instead of “Archives for ‘CATEGORY NAME'” I would like to simply have “CATEGORY NAME” in the bread crumbs for categories. The reason for this is, on our site, we have the blog split by categories so we link to categories as separate feeds. It would be nice if the breadcrumb could integrate with this.
Sure, i’ll make it an option to remove the ‘archive for’ part.
That would be a cool option, but I did find it easy to remove that from the archive template (within a child theme). (look for “archives for” in the archive.php template)
True true
I just installed your theme and I love the look and the feel of it but I have two questions, I prefer one side bar layouts but when I do so with this theme the side bar and main body “posts” are still small.
I would like to make each wider than what they are.
(2) I noticed on this site you have a forum, is this part of the theme?
I was using buddy press until it crashed, “my fault” but I would like to incorporate a forum into what I am building.
Please write requests in the forum. The forum is a plugin called simple press
copy of an email sent to xili-language user : (please see readme of recent versions)
This theme is international but the author don’t update it and leave old method to detect theme_domain at line #33 in functions.php since WP 2.9. because recent version as described in readme.txt do now the job itself..
contact the author and change the lines below
// xili-language plugin check
if (class_exists('xili_language')) {
define('THEME_TEXTDOMAIN', 'easel');
define('THEME_LANGS_FOLDER', get_template_directory() . '/lang');
} else {
load_theme_textdomain( 'easel', get_template_directory() . '/lang' );
}
to this single line now.
load_theme_textdomain( 'easel', get_template_directory() . '/lang' );
Will update on the next revision.
Hi
that’s a real good theme you set up. I like it.
But in context of “google chrome” it seems that the rss-link in the menu-bar does not work as i.e. firefox or IE ….
Maybe I’m to dumb to get it or ther is a faulty code with
rss and CHROME?!I’m still a bit confused about Easel…. Is this them for webcomics? Does is replace ComicPress??
This does not replace comicpress, it’s a theme which has an option to use a different form of comics display in it as an add on.
Hi,
I’ve tried to register on your forums (to ask a few questions about the excellent Easel theme), but I’m getting the following error when I click the activation link:
“One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.”
I repaired the database, if you want to check to see if it works again.
Thank you so much for a great theme (Easel). This theme has out performed both in versatility and load time. After trying several themes including a few created via Adobe Dreamweaver Easel has proven to surpass them all.
Presently multil anguage is being added to the site using subdomains some conversions of WP via Qtranslate, this works ok though still the comment area and post area is still in English, is there an MO file for conversion to simp chinese or could I do this by altering the files?
Thanks so much for this great theme and your talent in creating it.
The site is http://wanginnovations.com/ if you want to have a look.
The .mo files *should* be inside the lang folder, if they are not, please tell me.
“ComicPress 3.0 is now ComicPress – Comic Easel, its basically a plugin that can work with any theme, there’s another post on my site that explains it.”
Will there be any child themes for Easel (free or for sale)? What’s in the works for ComicPress??? Should I just stick to Easel?
Easel has some basic ‘themes’ inside of it, but can work with most all comicpress child themes with minor modifications to the css, Easel uses the same CSS elements that ComicPress does
Easel really is great! I haven’t gone live with it yet. I’m still testing. My comic is 750 x 971. Easel shrinks the comic!! Do I need to tweak the CSS or can it be done in the Dashboard??
I would like to use this theme, however the theme I’ve been using contains a lot of videos that are a width greater then the default width provided by this them. Is there a way i can set a default width for videos so they will fit within the margin of each post?
I solved my previous problem however I have encountered another
when add this category to the menu bar and go to this category my layout isnt the same as you can see. One of the sidebar’s disappears and the post arent visable.
http://goatmouf.net/category/default/
all other categories work except this one
For some reason I can’t get the nav bar to work. It will link the the first and last images, but previous and next are grey. I even deleted everything and made sure to add comics in order.
This is probably because of the “Chapter” that you set the comic in. Each comic must be in a chapter and only one chapter. It navigates by that chapter it’s set in.
