Can you update the theme so that it contains a custom Accelerated Mobile Pages theme?
Hi there,
sorry for late response and thank you for your request. We are planning to include this feature in the upcoming Curious update. The update should be released at the end of September.
Regards, Tomas
I have purchased the Curious ghost theme. Nice theme
Please tell me how to achieve the following: 1. Entirely remove the home cover and its contents including title, description, and subscribe button. I only want the layout to be like the second (and the following) pages of the blog list. 2. Remove the Instagram widget at the footer 3. Remove the duplicated Newsletter section on the sidebar (when I enable the Subscriber function on Ghost Lab, there will be two duplicated newsletter form) 4. How to make the blog logo on the header bigger? (I’ve uploaded a 500×500 logo but it looks tiny) 5. How to setup the cover photo for each tag list page?
Hi there, I replied you by email.
Received. Thank you!
Hi
My Ghost blog is public but the “Latest Posts” Section is not showing. I looked at footer.hbs and it is the same as the downloaded template, what could be the issue?
Hi there,
can you drop me a link to your website at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com, and I will have a look.

Hey! Thank you for the such a great theme! I have one but: Which parts of zip do i need to move to my own server to var/www/ghostblog/content/themes? Thanks a lot!
Hi there,
thank you for the kind words! Happy to hear you like it.
Regarding your question, you need to upload the non-zipped folder “curious”, located in Curious_v1.0.4/Theme. After that you probably will need to restart Ghost.
Regards, Tomas
Yes, thank you! i forgot you have a readme index file which include all tips and faqs, and now its all clear for me!
Hi, For the home page I just want to display 3 blocks (ie 3 posts) at the top insteas of the big image with subscribe button. Which CSS class is the small square blocks and not the rectangle?
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious theme.
Regarding your question, there is no such CSS class. I am using :nth-child(an+b) pseudo-class to style the posts. You can find these rules in style.css from line 1368. Also, if you want to remove “intro” section on the home page, you need not only to adjust CSS, but remove <div> with the classes “cover”, “hero” and its contents in the home.hbs file (lines 8-26) or simply delete home.hbs file. You might need to restart Ghost after that.

Hello i’m new to Ghost blog platform and i don’t have any experince in HTML and CCS programming languages so the question is how can i edit Curious theme ?
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious theme.
There is a documentation file in the theme package you downloaded. You can find the instructions on how to change the social links, sidebar widgets, etc. To adjust theme design edit style.css, located in the assets/css/ folder.
If you need assistance customizing the theme, drop us an email at justgoodthemes [at] gmail.com.

Hi Asta,
I’m trying to get remove the Latest Posts, Instagram feed, and tags section from the bottom of the theme. How can I do that?
Thank you, Suzanne
Hi Suzanne,
you need to open footer.hbs located in the partials/ folder of the theme and remove div with the class “footer-widgets” (lines 1-24).

Speaking of the new Ghost Labs subscribe function (which is nice). I read on the ghost dev blog that it can be styled. It would be nice to have an overlay appear and show the confirmation instead of taking you to a rather empty page and then making you hit the back button. Just a small detail to make the user interface a little more friendly. Suggestion for 1.0.5 maybe? 
...btw EXCELLENT lightweight theme. I fixed some spacing issues with the instagram widget. For a pure blog, this is about a pure as it gets, I love it… Thank you. One quick question. I noticed you use some javascript to guesstimate the amount of time an article would take to read. Would it be possible to have that same function also use an overlay as you scroll that counts the minute left?
Hi there,
thank you for your kind words and suggestions.
Regarding your question about the new subscribers feature, Ghost is planning to implement the functionality you are suggesting. According to Ghost developers, “currently the subscribe feature is designed to be used with a simple oldschool form posting mechanism. We’ll be introducing tools for making the form work nicely with Ajax in a future release.”
As for the article reading time, I use a jQuery plugin (https://github.com/michael-lynch/reading-time) for this. It is very simple and does not have the functionality that you want, but you could try ReadRemaining.js (https://github.com/Aerolab/readremaining.js) which does exactly what you are talking about.

Hi JGT,
I just downloaded the Curious theme. It’s great, thanks for your work. I have three questions about the email sign up.
1) I added my mailchimp action URL into the sidebar, but now it just says “Page not found” after clicking ‘subscribe’. How do I get this to work? You can see here: http://www.missionmiddle.com. 2) For the home page banner, how do I add the subscribe page like you have in your live preview? 3) How do I add the option for readers to subscribe at the end of every article?
Thanks, Ryan
Hi Ryan,
thank you for choosing Curious theme.
I have checked the source of your site and I see that the MailChimp signup form action attribute is empty. Maybe you have left the comment symbols ({{! }}) in the action attribute. It should look like this:
action="//justgoodthemes.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=78f1bab16028354caeb23aecd&id=4a7330d117"Regarding your other questions, in version 0.8.0 Ghost introduced the “Subscribers” feature. To enable this feature, go to Settings ? Labs in your Ghost admin dashboard and tick the “Subscribers” checkbox. When this feature is enabled, the subscription form is displayed at the end of every article and the home page banner “Subscribe” button leads to the Ghost subscribe page. Also the Subscribe widget is displayed in the theme sidebar. So if you want to use the Ghost’s Subscribers feature, you can remove the MailChimp widget in the sidebar.
Regards, Asta
Thanks Asta! I just updated to the newest Curious version to get my blog working again, and I noticed that the author does not show up anymore. Under the post name it just says: “By On February 10, 2016”. The author’s name doesn’t show. You can that here: https://mission-middle.ghost.io/love-of-the-game/
Hi Ryan,
you should update your Ghost version. You use Ghost 1.21, and Ghost added multi-author support in version 1.22. The {{author}} helper has been replaced with {{authors}} (https://themes.ghost.org/docs/author) and does not work anymore. Also, you should update Curious to 1.5.2, since I have fixed the issue with authors in the featured posts slider.
I changed instagram id and token numbers in default.hbs 0.7.9 to 0.8.0 and now is not working.
Hi there,
sorry to hear that. I’ve just tested the theme with the newly registered Instagram client and everything seems to work fine. Can you drop me a link to your site here in the comments or at justgoodthemes [at] gmail.com?
Hi there! 
Very interested in purchasing your beautiful theme! The only thing that is currently blocking me is that I don’t see a search functionality option outside of Tags (free text search)
Is there a plan to add this at some point?
Thanks so much for your answer!
Best regards
Hi
thank you for your interest in Curious and for kind words.
We are planning to integrate GhostHunter search engine (https://github.com/jamalneufeld/ghostHunter) but it works with Ghost’s API which is still in beta and not recommended to use in production. So at the moment we cannot give you the specific date when the search functionality is implemented.
Regards, Asta
Hi Asta! Thanks so much for your quick reply. GhostHunter definitely looks like what we need, but it seems to be a long time in development with no real end in sight… A shame! Anyway, thanks so much again and I will go back to the team to discuss the options!
Saw that you put out a new version. What are the changes in this version?
Hi there,
I’ve just updated the changelog in the theme description page.
Hello! I just bought your theme and am very happy with it. I’m making some customizations and had a few questions.
I tried to edit the font, but don’t think I changed it in the right places. Can you direct me to where I should edit the font in order for it be reflected in both the article body and headers and menus.
Also, I would like to change the favicon and coloring of the theme. Where can I make those changes?
The theme is live at my site ReadMilk.co. Thanks!
Hi there,
thank you for your purchase of Curious. I’m glad you like it.
The stylesheet link to Google fonts used in Curious theme is located in the default.hbs file (curious/default.hbs) on line 14:
<link href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Serif:400,400italic,700,700italic%7CMontserrat:400,700" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If you want to use other Google fonts, replace this link with the one you generated from Google. Next, open the style.css (curious/assets/styles.css) file and replace currently used Droid Serif and Montserrat font with your chosen.
The favicon file is located in assets folder of the theme (curious/assets/favicon.ico). You just need to replace this file.
As for the colors, you need to edit the style.css file (curious/assets/styles.css). The main color of the theme is #ffea00.
If you stuck, let me know in the comments or drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com.
Regards, Asta
Great theme, but was wondering if you have any plans to add support for the new default subscriber feature in ghost?
Hi there,
thank you! The update for the Curious should be available next week. We will add the support for the subscriber feature unless we encounter any difficulties.
Hey, love your work! Wanted to note that the reference to code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js in default.hbs should be HTTPS, not HTTP. Had to change it for the sidebar to work.
Hi there,
glad you like Curious! As for the jQuery library, I will fix this in the theme update. Thank you
Gorgeous theme. A pre-purchase question for you – would it be possible to make images within posts full-width? Thank you!
Hi there,
the theme does not support full-width images in the post content. There is a .full-width class but it makes an image only a little bit wider than the post content (you can see it in the “Style Guide” page of the demo). To stretch an image across the entire width, you would have to edit the css and probably js files of the theme.
Hello, I have just purchased the theme and have a few questions I was hoping you could assist with.
1) How do I alter the little image in the toolbar (yellow circle with a black C in it).
2) The front cover is great, but I would rather change it’s dimensions. Could you point me in the direction to do this? Also how would I remove the subscribe button should I wish?
I appreciate your help.
Just a quick note I manage to remove the subscribe button by commenting out line 17 of home.hbs – would be great if you could help with the size of the cover image though
Managed to remove the subscribe button from the home.hbs file
Altered the .cover_hero setting in the CSS file line 1386 to alter height.
Just the question on the icon!
Hi there,
thank you for buying Curious theme. I was just finishing to answer your questions but you were faster
As for the icon, replace favicon.ico file located in the assets folder (Ghost/content/themes/curious/assets) of the theme.
Regards, Tomas
Hi Tomas,
Thanks for that. I do have one more question – when landing on a post you have a fairly large image before getting down to the text. Could you point me to where in the CSS I can alter this size? Many thanks
To alter the size of the post cover image you need to edit the height property value for .cover on line 1375:
.cover {
background-color: #111;
color: #fff;
display: table;
height: 100vh;
margin-bottom: 60px;s
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}Hi, I am using your theme on jimtim.de, but I get the Disqus comments not to work. Pls help me.
Damn. Wrong site url format…. 
Glad to hear you solved it
I have trouble integrating Disqus comments section.
I could successfully do that in Casper theme but not in Curious theme. I get “We were unable to load Disqus. If you are a moderator please see our troubleshooting guide.” Error.
I added the script in comments.hbs file.
Hi there,
you do not need to add script in comments.hbs, it is already added in the custom.js file. You just need to replace the default Disqus shortname in the default.hbs file on line 19. If you still get that error, try to check your Disqus settings and take a look at the most common reasons why Disqus comments fail to load at their support page: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472007-i-m-receiving-the-message-%22we-were-unable-to-load-disqus-%22 .
I’ve purchased Curious theme. How can connect my Instagram images in the theme
Hi,
to display Instagram photos you need to change the default instagram_user_id and instagram_access_token on lines 20, 21 in the default.hbs file located in the main theme folder (Ghost/content/themes/curious). You can find more detailed information on how to obtain user id and an access token in the documentation (section 9. Footer Widgets) included with the theme.
Kind Regards, Asta
