Nice theme, well done, thank you!
We have only one question: How can we modify it, such that the commentary is automatically loaded and one has not to klick to load the disqus-plugin? That would be great. Thank you!
Hi there,
thank you for kind words. I am happy to hear you like Curious. Regarding your question, can you drop me an email at hello[at]justgoodthemes.com and I will reply you with the guidelines on how to edit the theme files.

Thank you, have it done already myself after some trys. But definitely will ask you with email if another question comes up, when you allow that.
I am glad to hear you solved it. Please feel free to drop us an email if you have any questions. Happy blogging!
I just received notice of an update. Is there a place to view what was updated?
Hi there,
I briefly listed the changes in the Changelog section on the Item Details page. I didn’t added the modified files list since most of the files were modified.
Hi. Love the theme. Been running for a couple of months with no issues. The instagram plugin has stopped displaying images. I logged into the instagram API admin site and see the plugin is in Sandbox mode now. Have they changed something that would cause the plugin to be inoperative? Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi, Instagram have changed their API policy at the end of 2015. All newly created apps start in Sandbox Mode now, and any apps created before Nov 17, 2015 continued to function until June 1, 2016. When your app is in Sandbox Mode, you can still display your Instagram feed, only you’re limited to the latest 20 posts. Try to get a new access_token and see if it works. Please drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com and I will reply you with the instructions on how get the access_token because I haven’t updated the guidelines in the documentation yet.
Updating the token worked fine. Many thanks.
Hi there.
First of all, I love the theme! So simple and beautiful.
Questions:
1. How do I make the subscribe button work? I’m taken to a page with a lot of code when I click that.
2. How do I put the cover for each blog post?

Hi,
thank you! I am really happy to hear you like the theme.
Regarding your questions, the RSS feed subscribe button works as it should. It’s just that some browsers, for example Chrome, do not support formatted viewing of RSS feeds by default. So not only for your site, but also for any other site, Chrome presents raw data for RSS feed. To view formatted RSS feed in Chrome, the visitor of the site should have a Chrome extension installed (for example, RSS Subscription Extension by Google, or similar).
If you use or want to use MailChimp for collecting emails, you can replace the “Subscribe” link href value with the MailChimp form URL. There is a hard-coded Mailchimp newsletter widget added in the sidebar as well, you just need to replace the form action URL with yours.
As an alternative to MailChimp you can use Ghost’s own tool for collecting emails from your blog – Ghost Subscribers (https://themes.ghost.org/docs/subscribers). To enable it navigate to Settings > Labs in your admin dashboard and tick “Subscribers” checkbox. Then the “Subscribe” button will lead not to the RSS feed page but to the Ghost subscribe page instead. Additionally, Ghost Subscribe form will appear in the theme sidebar. In this case delete the hard-coded MailChimp newsletter widget from the sidebar.
As for the cover images, you can upload or drag and drop images in the Post Settings menu. You can access the Post Settings menu by clicking on the “gear” icon at the top right of the Ghost editor.
Hope this helps. If you have more questions, drop us an email at hello[at]justgoodthemes.com or here, in the comments.

Hi, you simply need to create a static page named “About”. To create a static page you create a new post, just like you would any other post. The only difference is that you need to tick the “Turn this post into a static page” box in the Post Settings menu. Here you can find a more detailed guide: https://help.ghost.org/hc/en-us/articles/224936867-Static-Pages .

Got it! What about the sidebars? How do I edit the content on that?
You can edit the sidebar content in sidebar.hbs, and the footer widgets can be edited in footer.hbs. Both files are located in the partials folder (Ghost/content/themes/curious/partials) of the theme. In case you missed, there is also the documentation file included in the theme package you downloaded.

Hi, I got the below error while trying to upload the theme.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ”-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> <head> <title>501 Not Implemented</title> </head>
Not Implemented
GET to /testblog/ghost/api/v0.1/settings/ not supported.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please help.
Hi there,
what version of Ghost are you running? Also, maybe this is a hosting issue. What kind of hosting are you using?
Regards, Tomas
Version : 0.11.3
webhostinghub.com
I think this issue is caused by your hosting. As far as I know, Ghost has some difficulties running on “Softaculous” and your hosting is using this approach. Can you send me the login details to your Ghost blog at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com? I can have a look at what can be wrong. Also, you can contact your hosting company about this issue.
I just want to note that this theme was tested on various hosting environments like Digital Ocean, Ghost.pro, Ghosted and we didn’t encounter errors like yours.
Regards, Tomas
I sent the email. Please check it.
Just send you a reply.
Hi there! I believe Instagram no longer uses user id but only access token. Can you please update your documentation to show how we can set up Instagram snippet
Hi, I will update the documentation ASAP. In the meantime, could you please drop an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com and I will reply you with the instructions. Thank you.
Hi,
Does this have a sidebar, if so is there any screenshot of this?
Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your interest in Curious. There is a hidden sidebar and you can see it in the demo by clicking the “hamburger” button located in the top right corner.
Hello! I love this theme and am currently using it on my website, gersande dot com.
I’m having a bizarre error with the Tags and Latest posts not showing up. I’ve done a bit of digging and figured out that the error is happening somewhere around parseRSS() in custom.js—my RSS file is perhaps misbehaving? But I’ve gone through the W3C RSS validator and the RSS file definitely outputs, so I’m not sure how to resolve this problem. Any guidance would be muchly appreciated!
<3 G
Hi G,
thank you for choosing Curious for your blog. Regarding the issue, this happens because your blog is in a sub-directory. Open the custom.js file located in the assets/js folder and edit line 96 like this:
url: '/blog/rss/' + page + '/',
This solution to display tags and latest posts is temporary. When Ghost API is available to use in production, there will finally be the way to generate a tag cloud and latest posts using {{get}} helper. Sorry for the inconveninece.
Regards, Asta
Thank you so much for the prompt response! That seems to have fixed it! (I can’t believe I didn’t think of that T_T)
I am now dealing with the fact that I have used 100s of tags and need a way to limit how many tags are being displayed in the footer. Any chance there’s an easy way to do this?
Can you drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com? I will think about the solution and reply you.
Hi, Since the june-update my Ghost blog is not showing LATEST POSTS, INSTAGRAM WIDGET and TAGS. Also a problem with the favicon. Any help? Thanks.

Is it possible to not have a cover image on static pages?
Hi there,
you need to edit page.hbs theme template file and adjust CSS accordingly.
If you need help to do it, we provide customization service. If you are interested, drop us an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com .

Hi. I love your theme and very happy with my recent purchase. However, how can i reduce the opacity on the background images? I understand I can alter the css but would i need to rebuild the code or is it old school css (i.e not sass/less)?
Many thanks! Rhys
Hi Rhys,
happy to hear you love Curious! To reduce the opacity just edit the style.css file located in the assets/css/ folder. The opacity for the post background images is specified on lines 1450 (.cover-bg,.post-bg) and 841,850 (fadeIn animations). We did not use CSS preprocessor for this theme, but we plan to add it in the future updates.
Regards, Asta
I would like to have a thumb image for posts in the tag page. It’s easy to do this customization? My purchase decision is rather based on it. Thank you.
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious theme.
Can you drop us an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com and we will help you to adjust the theme to your needs.
Regards, Tomas
Hi, I would like to add “related posts” instead of “next” and “previous”. You can do this?
Hi there,
thank you for your interest in Curious theme. I will add related posts feature when Ghost API will be available to use in production. Currently it is still a Beta feature (http://support.ghost.org/public-api-beta).
Regards, Asta
Hey,
I bought Curious theme and I was wondering now, Do you have different CSS, like SASS, SCSS or Less files? It will make the customisation much less painful for me.
Cheers,
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious ghost theme.
Sorry, but we didn’t use CSS preprocessors for Curious theme. We will consider making SASS file and include it in one of the upcoming theme updates. If you have difficulties editing the theme, you can drop us an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com and we will give you instructions.

Hi there!
I recently bought your theme and I love it. However its a bit harder to edit that I expected.
Could you provide me with some tools… Such as how to add in the header photo for each blog post. This image of course appears in the home page as you click on the article.
So this includes if I wanted to pull an image straight from the website using like an code
Hi there,
if I understand you correctly, you are talking about post featured images. To upload an image open your post for editing in the Ghost admin. Click the gear icon at the top right of the Ghost editor, next to the post post action button. Then click on the image upload box. Optionally, if you’d like to include an image from a link, you can click on the chain link icon, in the lower left corner of the image upload box to reveal a URL field.
Regards, Asta
How does one upload individual photos to the header for new blog posts? That photo should also be present on the home page too.
Hi, just bought your theme, now the site looks like this: https://www.storecove.com/blog/ What have I done wrong? Hope to hear from you.

Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious theme.
The latest post and the tag cloud widgets are not displayed properly because your blog is in a subdirectory. Drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com and I will help you fix it.

Hi! I just bought the theme and wonder how to change the Instagram username in the footer and how to remove most of the social media icons in the bottom since I cant change them in the Ghost CMS.
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious for your blog.
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. And the social media icons in the footer can be altered within the footer.hbs file located in the /partials folder of the theme. Please check the theme documentation file included in the package you downloaded, it will help you to customize the theme according to your needs. If you have more questions or need assistance, feel free to drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com.
