Same error on win 10 chrome. Strange as it worked perfectly about a week ago (Oct 22) with the same URL. Here is URL causing issue for me now: https://www.patreon.com/collection/554947

I'm not getting that error. The error message indicates that WebToEpub is unable to find a <H1> element with the title. That said, Patreon is doing stuff to make Chrome fail when opening dev tools to look at the page.

@dteviot

I noticed this with chrome as well when troubleshooting, annoying. Inspect element works in Firefox browser but I get a different error when running the addon in Firefox.

I get a very similar error to this when I try to use WebToEpub on a single Patreon post. But using it on the creator's home page results in no error. So maybe it has to do with how WebToEpub expects to parse the list of posts?

As a possibly related addendum, I also noticed that when viewing a collection, the parser only correctly picks up posts if you set the view to condensed, while it detects no posts if the view is set to expanded (which appears to be the default view).

set the view to condensed, while it detects no posts if the view is set to expanded (which appears to be the default view).

How do you set condensed vs expanded?

[dastrdly6585]

@dteviot

In the options bar for a collection, on the very left there is a toggle between two options. The left one (looks like a window) is the expanded view, while the right one (the bullet list) is the condensed view:

I get this error whenever I use an alternate filter or sort order. Using the standard order works fine, but applying any sort of filter results in this issue. Tested in both Firefox and Chrome.
