Multiple Comics in Panel Theme
-
The navigation panel that comes with the Panel theme is really great for publishing a webcomic, so thanks for that.
I’d like to publish more than one webcomic series though. So I’ve made a category for the first series, and made this category a menu item.
I’d really love it if the navigation panel then showed up on this menu/category page. This would mean that readers could maneuver through the series – in my case, the Watershed Blues series – using the previous, next, etc. buttons.
Is there any way to do this?

The comic navigation on Panel doesn’t have a way to differentiate between one comic/category and another – it loads the next/previous comic, so if you’re publishing two, they’d end up mixed.
One possible solution would be to create a second site for the second comic, then use a Custom Link in the menus of both sites to link back and forth between them.

Hmm, fair enough. I don’t really mind mixing comics together on the homepage; it’s fair enough that the latest update would be there, ordered consecutively with every other comic post, like a blogger who writes in more than one category.
It’s the ability to have a navigation tool on a category page, so that people could read just one series if they wanted. Anyways, I guess that’s not possible now. It’d be a great upgrade though.
As it is, I’m left contemplating taking my site to another host, and trying out the wordpress.org plug-in Webcomic, which is free and does offer that kind of functionality.
In any case, thanks for the quick and definitive answer.

My pleasure!
If you do decide to go the self hosted route, this guide may come in handy :)
