Hello Tomas,

Can tag cloud be randomized so that new tags are shown each time the page refreshes? On my homepage the tags are static and i want them to be dynamic. I have limited the amount of tags to 10 tags and they never update because they are sorted alphabetically. Can sorting order be changed to random somehow.

Kind regards, Kevin O.

Hi Kevin,

I don’t think that tag cloud can be randomized, at least I am not aware of this. What about sorting your tags by the posts number, instead of sorting them alphabetically: https://themes.ghost.org/v1.0.0/docs/get#section-make-a-tag-cloud.

Ok i will try this, thanks tomas

Hello Tomas,

Can you add google custom search bar option to theme menu to make it easy to search on site for visitors?

Hi there,

We do not plan to add another search functionality for the Curious theme. We want to see how Ghost is progressing and then decide for the best search option for our theme. But if you want to use Google search on your site, here is the tutorial on how to implement it: https://www.ghostforbeginners.com/how-to-add-a-search-box-to-your-ghost-blog/

Hope this helps.

Best, Tomas

Hello Tomas,

You said ‘We do not plan to add another search functionality’. This implies that there is a search-option already implemented somewhere. Were is this first search option in theme for my readers to search content easily?

Kind regards, Kevin O.

Hi Kevin,

there is no a search option implemented yet. We were planning to implement the search using GhostHunter plugin, but we want to wait for more stable version of Ghost 1.0 as it was just released and the updates with fixes are coming.

Regards, Tomas

I look forward for 1.0 update too as you said in Panikstudio response. Thanks Tomas. //Kevin

We will let you know when it’s available.

Hi there,

I have a strange question. My ghost running one-click install on DigitalOcean. I changed hostname for config by DG guide.

But… Other menu-url running with right-domain. Only site-logo link to IP address? how to fixed logo linked to domain name?

Hi there,

thank you for choosing the Curious theme.

As this is hosting related issue and it is out of the scope of theme support it’s better to contact Digital Ocean directly. You can open the ticket here: https://www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/ .

Best, Tomas

Will you support ghost 1.x in future?

Hi there,

thank you for purchasing the Curious theme and for your question.

Yes, we will support Ghost 1.x. Also, we always test and if necessary update the Curious theme to work with new Ghost versions.

Hi,

I have noticed the demo version on themeforest uses version 1.1 css but the download version is 1.2.

There are missing styles in 1.2 for example:

.tag-links { font: bold 10px/1.5 “Montserrat”, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-transform: uppercase; }

.tag-links a { background-color: #ffea00; border: 2px solid transparent; color: #111; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px; padding: 1px 3px; }

.tag-links a:hover { background-color: transparent; border-color: #fff; color: #fff; }

Can you help please?

Oh I see, changed to post-tags. You need to update the demo version. Thanks

You are probably waiting for envato to do it…

Hi there,

thank you for purchasing Curious theme and for you question.

Yes, the Curious demo is still running on version 1.1 and we will update all themes and theme demos when Ghost 1.0 is released.

If you have more questions, let me know. I will be happy to help.

Regards, Tomas

Hey, with the addition of the feature posts slider, do you think the loop.hbs file should be changed to only show non-featured posts?

I’m not sure if the featured posts should be in the paginated posts and the slider. Seems like each time you’d post one it would be at the top of the posts due to being recent and so would appear right below the slider.

Hi there,

thank you for your suggestion. I will think about this.

Hello,

I can’t upload favicon, this is error: ‘EACCES: permission denied, open ’/tmp/8d915872-f3b8-4f6d-b9df-8e7e058425b4/curious/assets/favicon.ico’

How to resolve, thanks.

Where are you hosting your Ghost website? And how are you uploading the favicon?

Hi, i am using Digital Ocean, i used www.favicon-generator.org and copy pasted the .ico file into folder were the default favicon is at, how to resolve.

https://converticon.com/ did not work either, i use pea-zip to zip the files, it works normally with the default favicon

Hello,

How do i make < div class=”cover hero” > display featured post? Thanks

Yes please add this feature would be great, let me know when you add

Thanks i see you added, great feature thanks

You are welcome!

Hello,

My tags and ‘latest posts’ is not indexing on my ghost blog with curious theme, how to resolve? thanks

Thanks, how can i limit the amount of tags that shows up in the tag section?

You need to change “all” to your desired number on line 26 in footer-widgets.hbs located in the partials folder. For instance, to display 10 tags edit the line like this:

{{#get "tags" limit="10" order="name asc"}}{{tags separator=""}}{{/get}}

Thanks i will try

How do i auto-expand Disqus comments with theme curious? thanks

Any update

Can you drop me an email at hello[at]justgoodthemes.com since it is not very comfortable to paste code here in the comments.

Hi i contacted you on hello[at]justgoodthemes.com

First at all, thank you for you make this amazing theme, I just trying to build a blog my own, and I don’t know much about these knowledge, like html/css/js.

You make these easier to me.

But I still have a problem didn’t solve, I tried to fix it myself, it’s also learning, but I tried so many time, and the problem still, so I have to ask :cry

The problem is: I’m trying add Apple touch icon code in the default.hbs, but it can’t working at all. The icon image already set ok. I checked the index.html file in chrome and safari, those codes sees ok, but in the Element, I saw the Apple touch icon’s code already not in the head, it moved to body part, class is home-template.

I tried many way, and searched a long time on google, still can’t fix it. I think maybe is some command code change the “Apple touch icon”’s codes. But I don’t know how to find which code changed it.

Forgive my ignorance, it’s maybe not the bug, just I don’t understand how to use it. But I do really have no way to find. Actually I.have no friends know these stuff. So I still need to ask you.

Thank you for your theme, and hope forward your reply.

Hope you can understand what I said, English is not my mother language, so maybe I have some error with English.

Wei.

Hi Wei,

thank you for choosing Curious for your blog. I am happy to hear you like it. Regarding your issue, I checked your website with the html validator (https://validator.w3.org/nu/) and see that you have errors. Can you please send me the edited theme or just the default.hbs file (zipped) at hello@justgoodthemes.com and I will help you fix that.

Regards, Asta

Hello, good day. I have a new question of Curious, I already send an email to you but I don’t know is that mail filed to send, so Im trying to leave a comment here again.

The question is looks like my blog’s search engine doesn’t work anymore. actually I never tried this function before. but some days ago, I remember that Ghost already got this function, so I starting try search something. But no matter what I typing in, the result counts always showing 0, I don’t know why, I checked the website with Firefox and chromes website tools, and I found nothing there.

Really don’t know why, and tried to found where the problem is. If you have time, hope you can take a tiny time to check my files.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely Wei

Hi Wei,

Wich Curious version are you using? And can you please drop me a link to your blog at justgoodthemes@gmail.com ?

Best, Tomas

I’ve been searching for a template for a new site. The only issue keeping me from buying is that you have yet to add search functionality which should be a major component of any blog site.

I did see that you were asked about this a year ago and were waiting for the api to be production stable which I can only assume that it is since most of the templates I have looked at lately have the search function enabled.

Any time frame on this feature? I want to get started on the site soon so hope to hear back quickly.

Thank you, Ty

Hi Ty,

thank you for your interest in the Curious theme. We are planning to implement the search functionality using GhostHunter plugin in the next theme update which should be available at the beginning of June. You can see the example of how the search works by checking the demo of our latest Ghost theme Forma: https://themeforest.net/item/forma-bold-masonry-theme-for-ghost/19572484 .

Hey!

I’m Isabel, from Spotahome! We’re thinking about to buy your theme for our Ghost blog, but we lack information about how the social media metatags are managed. Does your theme include some short of facility to include the title / metadescription of a picture in Facebook or Instagram?

Thank you in advance =)

Hi Isabel,

thank you for your interest in the Curious theme. Regarding your question, Ghost automatically generates Schema.org, Twitter Cards, and Open Graph meta tags, it does not depend on the theme. The meta title and description can be set in the Post Settings -> Meta Data, and the image url is set to the featured image url.

Regards, Asta

Hi. Can i implement the ads(like Google Adsense) to the curious theme? would there be no restrictions or limitations to that?

Hi there,

as far as I know, there are no restrictions or limitations to implement ads. As for the tags and latest posts, you need to enable Public API for the widgets to work. To do this navigate to Labs in your Ghost admin dashboard and check the “Public API” box.

Hi! I have two questions: 1) How can i change the text button SUBSCRIBE? 2) Theres is a way to translate the date to another language (ex. spanish)?

Hi there,

to change the Subscribe button text, open the home.hbs file and edit the text on line 19. As for the translations, unfortunately, Ghost has no support for languages yet. But you could change the date format to similar to this: 06/05/2017. If it suits you, you should replace:

<time class="published" datetime="{{date format='YYYY-MM-DD'}}">{{date format="MMMM DD, YYYY"}}</time>

with

<time class="published" datetime="{{date format='YYYY-MM-DD'}}">{{date format="DD/MM/YYYY"}}</time>

in post.hbs (line 23), partials\loop-archive.hbs (line 13) and partials\loop.hbs (line 17);

<span class="nav-date">{{date format="MMMM DD, YYYY"}}</span>

with

<span class="nav-date">{{date format="DD/MM/YYYY"}}</span>

in post.hbs (lines 82 and 92);

<div class="recent-date">{{date format="MMMM DD, YYYY"}}</div>

with

<div class="recent-date">{{date format="DD/MM/YYYY"}}</div>

in partials\footer-widgets.hbs (line 15).

Hope this helps.

Regards, Asta

Hi! Did you plan to update to the future 1.0 ghost version or the latest version stable?
