At the beginning of this evening I did not expect that by the end of the evening I would be running a different comic plugin and that the site would be somewhat transformed!
I try to keep up to date with the latest version of WordPress etc. However I noticed that I hadn’t updated Comicpress (the comic plug-in/theme which turns the blog into a comic site). So I hit update and – blam! – the site had a meltdown!
There was no option to revert to the previous version and although I regularly back-up the database, I hadn’t backed up the WordPress code.
So, after an initial panic, I looked at the back end and realised that it looked normal. So, I thought to myself: maybe I could install a different comic pug-in and migrate the data.
Comic Easel had a tool for migrating data from a Comicpress site, so I downloaded the plug-in, ran it and to my great relief, it (mostly) fixed the site. All that was left was to customise it.
It’s still a work in progress but at least it’s working!
