WordPress 2.5 Bug Fix for ComicPress (and the world)

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

IMPORTANT! If you are anxious to use WordPress 2.5 and don’t want to wait for the first or second bug fix update, I don’t blame you (if everyone did that there would be no real world application to find those bugs not caught in beta).

The problem is, there is a now known bug that will directly affect your ComicPress previous/next navigation. Navigating from blog post to blog post will function correctly, but navigating from comic to comic will not, and it will navigate to a blog post from a blog post. Blog Posts are set to navigate to the same category, comic posts are set to navigate to any post not in the blog post category, this is the item that is broken in WordPress 2.5.

HOW TO FIX IT!
Much thanks to Filosofo from the WordPress support forums for providing the fix which can be seen here and must be used until an official bug fix for the 2.5 release.

To make it easy on you I’ve made the fix and am providing the fixed file here, just download it and replace the one in your WordPress install’s “wp-includes” folder (this is just for users of the current 2.5 release):

Let me know if you have any more trouble. Also stay tuned for information on the next scheduled ComicPress release.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that this fix does not work if you use multiple blog categories (have blog posts in the “blog” category as well as others). If that is the case, then you will need to have all comics be in the “comic” category (they can be in other categories as well) and use this fix in the forums.
