I see in the style guide that tables, but there isn’t anything in the instructions on how to enter a table. Any help on what to do?
Thanks
Hi there,
tables are not covered by Markdown’s syntax, so you need to use HTML for that. This guide might be helpful -> http://htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/tables/ .
Hello, One, how do you add an instagram feed? Two, when I click on my first post in preview, I see a button in the top right. If I click that, it shows “about” and “contact” and I can’t find where in the menus to edit those values.
I just bought this license and have two questions:Nevermind I solved my own problem by reading your documentation included with the theme delivery – thank you!
Any method to link images that are left or right aligned?
You can do this using HTML tags. Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level HTML tags ( http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html ).
Hi, I just want to edit the theme so that in each of the posts shown on the home page, it doesn’t show the author’s name. Its just my blog so it will always be my name so is a bit pointless. I edited the post.hbs file to remove that line but don’t know how to make it show up on the site. I’m running it locally for now so can’t share. Advice appreciated.
Hi there,
to remove author from blog posts, you need to remove
by <span class="post-author">{{author}}</span>
from partials/loop.hbs (line 17), partials/loop-archive.hbs (line 13) and post.hbs (line 23). Save the files, zip the theme and upload via Ghost admin. If you do not see changes, try to restart Ghost.
Let me know if it helped.
I’d missed the files in the partials folder. That worked great. Thanks!
Hi,
How can I use twitter like in the example of the styles in your demo?

Hi there,
to embed a tweet, click on the angle down icon in the top right corner of the tweet. From the menu that pops up, select Embed Tweet. Copy and paste the provided code into your post.

Hi there,
I just wanted to point out that it would be great if you could reply to people’s questions directly in the comments. I have found numerous questions that are the exact same as the ones that I have, but each response is “I have replied via email”!
It would be great to be able to see those answers here.
Hi there, thank you for your comment. In some cases it’s easier and faster to communicate via email, especially if we send code samples. But I will keep in mind your suggestion.

I am very new to this and really had no idea what I was doing. That being said I’m not sure about how to do most things. I love the design it is awesome. First question why is http://@@@@.com/ and http://www.@@@@@@.com/ different? The www is nice looking and the other is only words. The second question I have is how would I have 2 sections one for beer, and one for politics? The way the demo has HOME, ABOUT, STYLE GUIDE, GHOST HOSTIN, BUY CURIOUS THEME sections. how do you update the about section in Ghost App in the blog, and the contact section? I have brackets with no idea how to use it. I have done some things in the past, but not much. To make the permeant boxes that represent sections on the main page would you make them static or something else? I also liked the idea of the subscribe button is that possible to add through ghost? How would I add the instagram section and social media buttons to to my own? I know thats lot of questions basically asking how to set everything up, but I really don’t know how to achieve these things. Thank you for any help you can provide, I really appreciate it. I hope the rest of your week goes well.
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious Ghost theme.
As for your questions, can you drop me an email at hello[at]justgoodthemes.com ? It will be easier to communicate.

I just wanted to say anyone thinking about using this theme should. The customer service was excellent, and they had me up and going in no time. Awesome theme, and even better support.
Thank you!
I have a question. Is there a way to put a subtle tweet icon beneath the quote when using quotes. That would be nice so people can retweet or tweet the quote directly thus improving social interactions…. Thank you for your time…
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious theme and thank you for the question. No, the theme does not have this option, but we will think about it and maybe will include in an next theme update.
Regards, Tomas
Greetings!
I’m having a serious problem with the sidebar of your lovely theme. It seems that whenever I hit the “hamburger” button, the footer come from nowhere and wrongly covered above my sidebar. Even worse look on mobile.
I strongly suspect that this links to Ghost version update. I updated from 0.11.4 to 0.11.5, then the problem showed up.
I’d like to email you my screenshot of it and my customized theme file (zipped) to you, and I hope you can look for some solution for me!
Hi there, it is not related to the Ghost version update. You have HTML errors in the footer-widgets.hbs file. I will reply you in more details via email.
Hi there, we purchased the Curious theme, I was wondering if you would be willing to help us with some edits to the theme such as widget area? Thank you, Amy
Hi Amy,
I replied you via email.

Hello, thank you for such a beautiful theme! Can you please help me to deal with cyrillic characters in Curious theme? I’ve tried to do something with the font but it still remains the same
Hi there, thank you for choosing Curious theme for your blog. Unfortunately, neither Montserrat nor Droid Serif font that we use in Curious do not support Cyrillic characters. Maybe you have a font combination you would like to use instead? Or if you want we can select it for you.
Thanks for your answer. If I choose https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roboto font, can you please provide some guidance how can I implement it in my blog?
And I have one more issue, when I make a post and attach a header image to it, when I use share to facebook, it shares not the header image, but chooses one from post body. Do you know how can I change it?
Also, this is a very great theme, I tried to find such for about 2 years and now I’m done)))
Can you drop me an email at hello[at]justgoodthemes.com with a link to your website? I will have a look regarding the sharing image and also reply you with the instructions on how to change the fonts.
Thanks, just a minute
Is there anyway o include a widget for Twitter in the same way that the Instagram widget runs?
Hi there,
to add the Twitter widget to the footer, create one at https://publish.twitter.com/, copy the code and paste it in footer-widgets.hbs. For instance, to embed the user timeline you should add
<section class="widget">
<h2 class="widget-title">#Envato</h2>
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-tweet-limit="3" href="https://twitter.com/envato">Tweets by envato</a> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</section>where href is the URL of your profile and data-tweet-limit is the number of tweets you want to display.
How can I change the color theme of the blog from the default yellow to another color?
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious Ghost theme.
To edit theme colors, you need to edit the style.css file (curious/assets/styles.css). The main color of the theme is #ffea00, replaced it with your desirable color.
If you need assistance let me know in the comments or drop me an email at justgoodthemes[at]gmail.com.

Hi
First of all, great theme!
I’ve installed everything but the newsletter signup does not seem to work. I am using Mailchimp and have set up the list as described in your documentation. Copied the code to the sidebar widget.
This resulted in duplicated sign up forms (Ghost Subscribers + Mailchimp), when I deactivate subscribers in Ghost Backend, the Mailchimp signup also disappears.
In a previous comment you said that I can just replace the signup url, but I could not find it within your code.
Thanks for your help.
Hi there,
thank you for choosing Curious for your blog. Regarding you question, maybe you’ve pasted the code inside the {{#if}} block helper? You should remove the default subscribers widget (lines 11-17):
{{#if @labs.subscribers}}
<section class="widget widget-newsletter">
<h2 class="widget-title">{{@blog.title}} Newsletter</h2>
<p>...</p>
{{subscribe_form form_class="gh-subscribe-form" placeholder="Your email address"}}
</section><!-- .widget -->
{{/if}}and replace it with the MailChimp widget
<section class="widget widget-newsletter">
<h2 class="widget-title">{{@blog.title}} Newsletter</h2>
<p>...</p>
<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
...
<!--End mc_embed_signup-->
</section>Let me know, if you need assistance or have more questions.
Hi there,
Thank you for the quick reply. This did the trick, my fault!
I also had to replace
<a href="{{@blog.url}}/subscribe/" class="button light">Subscribe</a>
in the home.hbs with the Mailchimp sign up form link and this part
{{subscribe_form form_class="gh-subscribe-form" placeholder="Your email address"}}
in post.hbs with a customized version of the side bar integration code to replace all Ghost subscriber sign ups.
Additionally I’ve set .gh-subscribe-form button to position: relative; to avoid funky behaviour in the sidebar. There might be a better solution, though.
Maybe you could add this in your documentation for other users, or I am just to blind to find it. 
Thanks again!
please disregard my last message… I see the note on the Compare Side-By-Side package now
Hi, I set up blog, but having issues with assets. Please follow http://lookatworld.com
Hi there,
I followed your link, but the site is unavailable. Have you solved your issue?
hi there, was just wondering if there is a WP version of this lovely looking theme? or one that is similar to it that you guys have made.
Hi,
sorry, but we do not have WP version of the Curious theme and currently we are not planning to release it. Also, we do not have anything similar to it for WordPress. All our WP themes are available here -> https://justgoodthemes.com/themes/ .

Hi,
I have just purchased your Curious theme for Ghost and have it running on my blog and totally love it. Great work guys.
I however have a few teething issues (since I am not a coder) and need help with a few things to get my blog started.
> In the zip file that I downloaded, I do not see any instructions on how to customise the content and have it reflect on my Ghost blog – say for example how do I change the default text that’s showing up in the sidebar (About Us, Contact Us, etc.)
> How to customise the sections in the footer – how do I link my Instagram feed with the Instagram plugin? Can I substitute the Instagram feed with my Facebook feed? How do I delete the Instagram plugin if I don’t need it?
> Can I decide the order in which the individual blog articles appear. Or is it chronological by default? What are the pagination features this theme offers?
> I didn’t get any file on setup instructions when I bought the theme. Will be helpful if you can send me some explainer content.
> Can I pick and choose what social media icons I want to appear in the footer? Also, how I integrate them with the relevant social media accounts?
> What widgets can I add to this blog to enhance engagement (email subscription feature against every blog post, for instance)?
Can you please help me with these? Any instruction manual or documentation will be very helpful.
Hi there, I replied you via email.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
Is there someplace we can view a changelog for the theme? We have additional customizations laid over top and would love to integrate the latest updates.
Hi there,
the changes are described briefly on the Item Details page, section Changelog. I didn’t added the modified files list since most of the files were modified. You can try the file comparison program for easier update. For instance, if you use Sublime Text editor, there is the Compare Side-By-Side package.
Hey thanks for the response. Love the theme, great work!
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.
Regards, Asta
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!
