Toocheke Companion

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

46 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 13 listed. 33 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   While there is a learning curve if you’re coming from a plugin like “Webcomic”, what’s here is a very solid foundation for what can ultimately be THE webcomic plugin for most artists moving forward. The developer is very open to reasonable feature suggestions and seems to always be thinking of ways to improve the plugin and it’s companion theme. Recommended.

   Recently migrated to Toocheke from Comic Easel. The theme worked easily for me in terms of formatting my archive and for posting new comics (I post a 2×2 grid of images), plus works with other plugins I continue to use. Theme/plugin author has answered my questions promptly and offered me help when I ran into issues — the level of support amazes me.

   Idk if I’m doing anything wrong but I only get critical errors when I try to post a comic.

   Migrating over from Comic Easel was quick and easy. To use the plugin without the theme, use the short codes. There is now even support for multiple comics (called series when a separate navigation is needed) with the short codes. Recommended!

   Only catch is that you need the Toocheke theme to get it to work. Otherwise I am absolutely loving it!

   The companion plugin itself is a cool solution to webcomics on wordpress that I had high hopes for. The plugin works and has a ton of helpful options. I especially like the compatibility with the newer comic formats as well as the more traditional ones as well as the ability to have multiple series running on one site. However, the theme required to make the companion work is a deal-breaker. The theme isn’t particularly flexible and is locked in to a few preset layouts with limited ability to adjust things – especially regarding comic navigation. If this were to be released as a standalone plugin without needing to tie into a specific theme I’d swap in a heartbeat. Until then, I’ll stick with other options.

   Great plugin for publishing webcomics/webtoons/comics on your WordPress theme. Can only work with the Toocheke theme though!
