You can access the Setup Wizard at Init Manga → Setup Wizard.
1. Install required plugins
This feature automatically installs plugins from the Init Plugin Suite such as Init User Engine, View Count, Review System, Chat Engine, Reading Position, and more. Plugins will be pulled from WordPress.org or directly from Init HTML if not yet available in the WordPress plugin directory.
Note: After installing the plugin, go to Settings → Init View Count, choose a view counting method, and click “Save” to ensure the system starts tracking views correctly.
2. Create template pages
Automatically generates core pages for advanced features:
- Reading History – Track recently read chapters
- My Library – Save favorite manga
- Completed Manga – List of fully completed series
- Ranking Pages: Top view, Power Stone, Top Rated
- Recently Updated: Shows manga with newly updated chapters
- Unlock Center: Manage unlocked chapters and premium access
- Recent Comments / Recent Reviews: Displays latest user activity
If these pages don’t exist yet, they will be auto-created and published.
3. Create homepage and blog
This will create two key pages:
- Homepage: Displays the featured slider and core content
- Blog: Used for news, updates, tutorials, or announcements
Your site will switch to use static front page mode after this step.
4. Create navigation menus
Automatically generates and assigns menus for each location:
- Main Menu: Auto-includes the Blog page (if exists)
- Hidden Menus: Manga, Rankings, Members, Archives
- Footer Menus: Collections, Partners, About
Available pages will be evenly distributed across menu slots.
5. Create Inkstone page (if Author Mode is enabled)
If Author Mode is enabled, this will generate the Inkstone author dashboard page, where creators can manage manga, chapters, and view stats directly from the frontend.
6. Apply recommended settings
Optimizes your WordPress environment for manga websites:
- Enable user registration
- Set posts per page to 24
- Disable pingbacks and comment notifications
- Require login to comment
- Use permalink structure:
/%postname%/
These settings help your site run smoothly, securely, and SEO-friendly.
7. Create Sticker Packs
This feature will download and import all 52 default sticker packs into the library as posts of type sticker. Each pack will have a cover image, all included images embedded in the post content, and a default price of 2,000 Coins.
- Stickers are automatically uploaded to the Media Library
- Sticker posts can be edited later like any regular post
- If a pack already exists, it will be skipped to avoid duplication
Note: You can only create Sticker Packs if your license is active and no existing sticker data is found in the system.
8. Update Vietnamese translations
If your site uses Vietnamese, this tool lets you sync or fetch the latest translation files from Init HTML with a single click.
License required
All Setup Wizard features require a valid license. If not activated, buttons will be disabled or hidden.
Once activated, all tools will be fully unlocked.
Conclusion
The Setup Wizard is an essential tool for properly launching Init Manga. Whether you’re building a new site or relaunching an old one, it helps ensure everything is correctly configured and ready.
Recommendation: Run the wizard immediately after installing the theme to save time and avoid missing critical steps.
