## Description
Webcomic provides a host of features related to creating, managing, and sharing
comics on the web.
#### Comic Management
Webcomic organizes comics into collections – custom post types dedicated to a specific
comic series. Publish any number of distinct comic series on a single WordPress
site, each with it’s own unique settings. Manage comic media using WordPress’ own
media management features.
#### Theme Integration
Webcomic adds a new section to the Customizer that’s all about integrating comics
into your site’s theme. The Universal integration method supports most themes, but
methods for integrating with themes built specifically for Webcomic and themes built
for other comic plugins are also available. If none of the standard integration
methods work with your theme you can [use custom actions](https://github.com/mgsisk/webcomic/wiki/Actions#integration-actions)
to add comic features right where you want them.
#### Powerful Tools
Webcomic includes a variety of tools for working with comics and getting comics
up and running on your WordPress-powered site. Use the Generator to automatically
create and publish comics for any number of uploaded media items, or use the Matcher
to match media items with existing comics. Use collection-specific settings to organize
your comics into categories and tags, customize your comic URL’s, and more.
#### Unlimited Potential
Those are some of Webcomic’s standard features, but there are other components included
with Webcomic that provide a variety of new settings, shortcodes, template tags,
and widgets. Take your online comic publishing even further with:
* **Alert**, which adds settings for creating buffer and hiatus email alerts. Never
forget an update with customizable email alerts.
* **Character**, which allows you to tag character appearances and use character-
based archives.
* **Commerce**, which adds PayPal-based print selling and donation features.
* **Restrict**, which adds features for restricting access to comics based on age
or user role.
* **Storyline**, which allows you to organize comics by storyline and use storyline-
based archives.
* **Transcribe**, which adds comic transcription features for SEO-enhancing text
alternatives to your comics.
* **Twitter**, which adds settings for updating your Twitter account status when
publishing comics.
### Special Thanks

## Screenshots

* Enable or disable components on the Settings > Webcomic screen.
* [[
* Each comic collection has an array of customizable settings.
* [[
* Components often have their own collection-specific settings.
* [[
* Manage comics like you manage other post types.
* [[
* Theme integration options are available in the Customizer.
## Installation
Install Webcomic from the [Plugins > Add New](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins_Add_New_Screen)
screen by searching for `webcomic` (the first result should be the one you’re looking
for) or by [downloading the plugin archive](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webcomic)
and uploading it to your site.
One activated, you can choose which components to use on the Settings > Webcomic
screen. If this is a new installation you should see your first comic collection,
Untitled Comic, in the sidebar. You can adjust collection-specific settings on the
Untitled Comic > Settings screen. Most components will add settings to this screen.
You’ll want to visit the Webcomic section of the Customizer to adjust integration
settings for your site theme. The Universal integration method supports most themes,
but methods for integrating with themes built specifically for Webcomic and themes
built for other comic plugins are also available. If none of the standard integration
methods work with your theme you can [use custom actions](https://github.com/mgsisk/webcomic/wiki/Actions#integration-actions)
to add comic features right where you want them.

## Reviews
### [Great plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-29419/)
[madabril](https://profiles.wordpress.org/madabril/) Gener 22, 2021
Great plugin bogged down by limited support.
### [Thank you!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-1597/)
[LukeA](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lukea/) Abril 13, 2018
I tried several of the other plug ins and this one works great for me. It was a
little bit of a learning curve, but what isn’t? I like the fact that I can load
and schedule all my comics for months out!
### [Great Customer Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-customer-support-70/)
[Derek Padula](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derekpadula/) Febrer 9, 2018
This is the only comic plugin I found that actually worked. All of the others were
either inadequate or included way too much. This plugin was simple and modifiable.
Of course, I had a lot of trouble setting this plugin up when it was in the 4.0
version, and each time I updated it, it seemed to break by replacing the loop file
that had custom code in it. But I got used to it. When I upgraded to the 5.0 version
it caused a lot of breaking issues across the site. Luckily, Mike offered free tech
support. I created an admin account for him through WordPress, he went in, and resolved
the issues the same day, at no charge! It’s rare to find customer support like that.
Especially without paying for it. This alone makes it a plugin worth using.
### [dead theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dead-theme/)

won’t install on fresh wordpress instance.
### [Can’t get it to work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-it-to-work-20/)
[paulchrisjones](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paulchrisjones/) Setembre 18, 2016
I thought this plugin would make it easy to integrate comics into my site. But the
trouble is, I can’t get the plugin to work. The hundreds of pages of documentation
don’t help and the support forums are all but dead. The main problem is that this
plugin is too complicated.

Can anyone direct me to a specific area of forums etc that detail how to set up?
😥😢 i’m using “inkblot ” as the theme and “webcomic ” as the plugin. I havent uploaded
any content yet because i don’t understand how to set up the “storylines, characters
transcripts, settings etc. I’ve jumped from every webcomic based theme over the
last month looking for something intuitively simple that i can get up in no time
and i’m beyond frustrated. To add to the chaos…i know little to no css, php etc
😒 any info i’d greatly appreciate.
