I just bought this theme, thanks for your great work. I have a question and it is probably a dummy one.
How i can add an avatar or image next to the titles like in the demo. I mean the blue circle that says “Simran”. All i can see is the default silhouette and I can’t find any option for a custom image.
Thanks,
Abraham
Hi
WordPress uses avatars from https://en.gravatar.com/ so you can register your avatar their with same email ID that you are using on your WordPress blog to get your avatar shown on your blog.
Thamls
I got it! Thanks for your help!!!


Hi Team,
I am using this theme for my website. I found that Popular/Recent Posts tabbed widget downloads actual images which is in large size to show as thumbnail, while there are also 75×75 and 150×150 and some other sizes images exists on server.
Please suggest how to fix this. It can improve speed of my website.
— Thanks
Hi
Tabbed widget’s thumbnail size is set to 55×55. It should not download 150×150 image sizes. What’s your blog URL? I want to check.
Thanks
Hi Support,
I have regenerated thumbnails of images and its working properly now… Thanks for looking into it.
Yes they are of proper size 
Hello .. can not see the icons in the post – audio – video – image – quote – gallery – links.
Hi
What’s you blog URL?
I think you disabled the icons from Theme Options
where I find them? thx
Theme Options -> Homepage -> Home Post Meta. There you can see Post Icon option
In last update I changed the directory of post icons and forgot to update the path in file. I will change it and give you an update. You can message me from profile if you want it now.
ok thanks very kind !! 

Hello,
Im insterested in your theme but I would know if it provides a masonry image gallery? And a lightbox feature for an easy navigation within images?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
Yes, you can have lightbox fature in gallery with navigation for next and previous images. You can check demo in this article – http://demo.bloompixel.com/goblog/2014/03/15/post-with-tiled-gallery/
It can have nice looking gallery inside articles using JetPack plugin.
Thanks
Hi,
We are using the GoBlog theme here:
http://senseisays.us/We love the theme, but we have sort of a weird issue, and we’re just not sure where to troubleshoot because this is the only theme we have encountered the issue on. We are using the Platinum SEO plugin, and in the GoBlog theme, the “Title Meta Tag Rewrite” does not work on posts. What we mean is that when we enter a custom title into the “Platinum SEO” Title content, and apply the proper settings, the custom Title does not overwrite the auto-generated post title that is entered via basic WordPress. The plugin itself is working with the theme as the “Description Meta Tag” and the “Keyword Meta Tag” respond to what we enter via Platinum SEO, but the “Title Meta Tag Rewrite” does not.
Is there something in this theme customized with the “Title Meta Tag” that would block our custom content from being entered? We really really love the theme, and it works great design wise, but his is the most important meta tag, so this issue is really restricting/damaging our SEO if we cannot rewrite this tag.
We totally understand that this is a plugin question, but we have used this plugin for 7 years and have never run into this issue with any other theme, so it seems to be specific to this theme. We do see the theme has some “single post options” that control display of some meta info, so maybe something in this is conflicting? We would really appreciate any help or insight that may direct us to a solution for this.
Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for letting me know about it. It is fixed and update will be available.
Thanks
All other SEO plugins are working fine. Only Platinum SEO has issue. This plugin is old and it was last updated in 2013. It is also giving error while saving posts with all the themes. You should consider using any other plugin. Title will work fine but it is not good idea to use such plugin.
Hi,
It seems this issue was never fixed for Platinum SEO. We upgraded the theme today to make sure, and it still doesn’t fix the issue for us. We did install another SEO plugin to see what this does, and the tittle tag works, but it doesn’t pull in the already existing meta tag content, so this will require us to go back through years of posts and transfer all of the meta tags. Is it possible to please still get this issue fixed within your theme? We understand that you say Platinum SEO is outdated, but please understand out of using this plugin for 7 years, this theme is the only theme that has ever had an issue with it, and the plugin is still widely used and loved. Please let us know if the issue can still be fixed?
Thank you!
Hi
You can message me from profile to get update.
Thanks
There was a comment a few months ago regarding the gravatar overlaying longer post titles. I’m having the same issue, even after clearing cache. Not only that, under single post options, I have Author Avatar under “Post Meta Info Options” deselected… so the avatar shouldn’t even be showing, right?
See: http://www.porkcracklins.com/2014/05/grilled-steak-and-peppered-spaetzle-with-black-trumpet-mushrooms-and-shallot-marmalade/Hi
I checked your link and avatar is now showing and also pot titles are not overlapping the gravatar. This issue was fixed long time back.
You can check the screenshot – http://prntscr.com/5u9cqn
Thanks
This issue is back – gravatar is showing up in post titles. How do I hide the author gravatar on posts? http://www.porkcracklins.com/2016/09/honey-vanilla-greek-yogurt-mousse-sticky-balsamic-berries/
Theme has no issue with this option. I just checked it. Can you check your theme options if you unchecked the option?
I am looking to build pages on my site using the GoBlog layout option without sidebar: can you recommend any web editor tools that will create HTML code that will work well with the theme? E.g. Adobe Fireworks? Or another?
Why do you want to use editor? You can go to Dashboard -> Pages -> Add New and then add new pages. You can also create pages without sidebar.
Yes, I could use a page without a sidebar for the homepage but I want to layout a custom homepage with graphics and text placed strategically on the page. Example; http://scscloud.com/.
Here’s another great homepage: http://alttechsolutions.com
These are the examples of business type designs. You can use Brackets editor if you want to edit the theme.
Thanks!

Apologies if this is a fairly obvious question but how do I go about updating the site? I attempted to upload the goblog.zip file update to my themes page but it says the destination folder already exists. Thanks
If it says so you can go ahead and replace the already existing folder.
It doesn’t give me an option to replace existing folder.
Did you try to update using method mentioned in documentation?
I tried that too but I don’t see an option to enter envator username and api key anywhere in the theme options. I don’t know if this is relevant but this is the first time I’m updating the theme since I bought it last year.
That’s why you are not seeing the option to add your details because automatic update option was added later. Now you can either install the theme again or upload it using FTP.
Will I lose all my customisations in this case? How do I go about uploading via FTP?
No you will not loose your customizations. If you want to stay safe you can export the settings of options panel.
Hi, me again. I never got to make the update to the theme because I became busy with some other things. Now, I want to make the update for the notification I received today and require a few clarifications. You last mentioned that I should install the theme again. Do I just add the theme via the themes section and deactivate/delete the old one or something else? Kindly clarify. Thanks.
Hi
You can install it again in any way and you will not lose any theme options settings.
If you know how to use FTP then simply upload the files using FTP and replace old files.
If you can enter your envato details in Theme Options then you can easily update it from your dashboard.
Thanks
Hi
Great looking theme but I have a rather large problem.
I have installed GoBlog, installed the child theme & updated the theme to the latest version.
There appears to be a number of issues relating to the responsive display.
1. The Menu button is not working & is too small to function properly.
2. I cannot make customisations to the responsive layout, the customations show on my pc but none on any of 3 mobile browsers i tried.
3. Cannot disable responsive display.
Can you help?
Hi
What’s your URL. Menu button is not that much small. You can check on demo. I need to check it on your blog.
What kind of customizations you making to responsive layout?
Thanks
Only basic theme options and some color change css, I have emailed the URL.
It seems the responsive layout has now disabled overnight and I cannot switch it back on.
Ok. I fixed the problem & I’ve done a little testing for you by trying these a few times.
The problem only occurs if I do things in this order:
Install GoBlog -> Install Child -> Update Theme
It works fine when I do it:
Install GoBlog -> Update Theme -> Install Child
Just in case you wanted to look into this for yourself 
Hi
Responsiveness is working fine on your site and button is also large enough 
Thanks
Yes, I fixed it. The problem is explained above, tested 3 times for your reference.
The button was originally showing about 1/4 of the size it is now & had no colored background shading. It was also appearing under the header not part of it.

Hello. Updated to 1.3, encountered a bug? My site is unviewable in iphone or ipad, the site is too big and cannot be adjusted. The right part of the site is hidden. Desktop is fine. I use responsibility off (because I want proper menus in ipad). Please check: www.porscheforum.fi
Any ideas? Thanks, Jaakko
Hi
Please add the following piece of code to Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS
.st-container { overflow:visible }
Thanks
Ok, thanks a lot! I’ll try. -Jaakko

Worked halfway, but there was a 0,5cm space in the right side when viewing on iPad (left was ok). I had to put the 1.28-version back to get the site working. When fluently working update is ready, I think about updating then.
What’s the resolution of your iPad and can you send me the screenshot of v1.3?
It’s retina iPad. Right now I can’t send a screenshot, but when you check my site www.porscheforum.fi with iPad:
The whole site starts and ends fluently with no border space in left or right.
In v.1.3 there was no space on left, but 5mm gray space on right, similar like between the the columns. The space was also in the header area so from up till bottom in the right. Hope you got the idea? 
Was the extra space in landscape or portrait mode?
It was landscape at least, didn’t remember to test portrait.
We have the same problems as @phloo. We need a solution!
Hi
Translation works fine. Folder name was mistakenly renamed in last update. I also updated the documentation for translation. You will soon get the update. I uploaded the update and it will be available as soon as it is approved.
Thanks
Thanks.

We updated to the latest version (upload the theme folder, removed the old one, leaving the child-theme untouched). No translations work at all.
de_DE.po and mo files in /lang theme folder.
I thought this update would fix it. Now every translation (frontend which was working before) is gone.
Additionally your functions.php says: /* * Makes GoBlog available for translation. */ load_theme_textdomain( ‘goblog’, get_template_directory() . ’/languages’ );
but the folder structure is using “lang” as name. Renaming to languages didn’t help either.
Language folder was mistakenly renamed in last update. I was trying something and then forgot to rename it to lang.
Translation works fine. In WP 4.0 you need to download WordPress translation files and paste them in wp-content/languages folder. Then you get the option to change language in Settings -> General page.
I uploaded the update now and it will be available as soon as it is approved. I also updated documentation so you can read it to translate the theme.
Thanks
hello. As I wrote before: renaming the folder didnt help. None of the translations work. AND I wrote that our translations worked in the version before but only in the frontend. not in the theme options and dashboard. It seems you dont read our comments in detail….
In the latest update that just got approved everything must work. I read your comments mate.
I hope you got the latest update. I tested it with theme options panel and translation works fine in this update.
Got the new update now. Works better even though I couldnt use the lang files to compare them to the “old” translation. But the theme options and frontend get translated.
Except still one error: pagination is in English. fixed it in “theme-functions.php” changing to bloompixel instead of the default wordpress theme (twentyfourteen):
// Set up paginated links.
$links = paginate_links( array(
'base' => $pagenum_link,
'format' => $format,
'total' => $GLOBALS['wp_query']->max_num_pages,
'current' => $paged,
'mid_size' => 1,
'add_args' => array_map( 'urlencode', $query_args ),
'prev_text' => __( '? Previous', 'twentyfourteen' ),
'next_text' => __( 'Next ?', 'twentyfourteen' ),
) );
PS: in your social widget php file there are some external links missing (e.g. Xing)
Thanks I’ll check the links.
How do I upload the latest update to my WP press site? Thanks, Stratigraphy
Hi
Please read documentation. It is explained in detail there.
Thanks
Hi,
I like the GoBlog theme, but before I purchase it I have a couple pre-selling questions.
1. I’m looking for a very high speed theme. I see that posts with only a featured picture load fast, but the carousel ones loads a bit slower. Am I right?
2. Will I be able to create a full width top menu with logo like on this blog http://inmarketingclub.com/
3. I see the post titles are situated under the featured image. I would like to have the title before the post image. Is it possible?
4. It’s mentioned that GoBlog theme is SEO optimized, do you still recommend using YOAST pluggin?
Thanks!
Hi
1. Carousel posts take some time because they load the images first and then show the full carousel.
2. You mean that top bar with this text ” FREE TRAINING: Increase your traffic in 8 days! ” ?
3. Currently it’s not possible. It is possible by editing the files.
4. Yes, SEO optimized means code is optimized but you need that plugin to add keywords, descriptions etc to articles.
Thanks
Hi,
2. No. I mean the top bar with the wordmark “Internet marketing club” and the Menu on the right.
3. I want the headline above the picture. Hopefully, you’ll tell me what code and where I should place it.
Hi
2. It is the same header as shown in my theme’s demo.
3. yes, I can help you with that
Thanks
Hi,
As you see I’ve already purchased GoBlog theme, and during setting it up on my site wellnessowners.com I have some questions.
1. What is the perfect size of the featured pictures? And is it possible to resize them? I would like to reduce the height a bit.
2. If you go on my blog page http://wellnessowners.com/category/blog/ you’ll see above my posts the text “Blog archive”. I want to remove it and move the entire colon up and level it up with the sidebar. Is it possible to do that?
Thanks for help!
Hi
1) The perfect size for featured images is 770×360px
2) You can add the following CSS to Theme Options panel to remove it:
.content-archive .section-heading { display:none }
Thanks
Hi,
I have added the Popular Widget to the sidebar and set it to show 6 posts, but it limits to 3 posts. Why is this happening?
Now it is showing 4 posts. What number of days you selected for popular posts?
Yep. The time period was too short. Thanks!
Is it possible to increase the limit of excerpts above the 55 words?
Currently it is not possible but I will be updating the code to support more characters for excerpts. Excerpt length is increased in my latest miniblog theme. I will be adding same code to this theme in next update.
Are you planning to create this kind of a blog format like here http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/? I would be happy to be able to have a preview image and the excerpt on the right or left.
Can I have contact you in private? I want to send you a screenshot and a question regarding how the menu displays on mobile version.
You can message me from my profile.
Hi,
Is there a plugin that you recommend which add shortcodes to the theme?
You can try Ultimate Shortcodes plugin
Can you check my website on your mobile phone – wellnessowners.com. Does the menu on your phone work properly?
Yes, it is working properly.
Strange. I was thinking that might be an issue of how I created the homepage. But if you say that on your mobile phone it works properly it means that the theme doesn’t work with my Windows 8 and Blackberry.
I’m using Android. Also checked it on iPhone. I am working on an update for Windows phone.
Hi:)
Somehow my latest posts doesn’t appear in the blog archive. My latest post went live on Monday, but I noticed during the past week that my latest post wasn’t always showing up in the archive. Sometimes it was there, and sometimes it wasn’t.
Today I wrote test blog post, but after I click submit the post doesn’t appear on the site. I can’t understand why this is happening.
My latest blog post should be “Why is the recommended amount of exercise per week so low? – http://wellnessowners.com/recommended-amount-exercise-low/". However, if you visit my site wellnessowners.com you’ll see my latest post is “How to start running when you are out of shape” – http://wellnessowners.com/how-to-start-running-when-you-are-out-of-shape/
I have also post another 4 test posts and none of them appears live on site.
Do you have a clue of why this is happening?
Can you give me admin access so I can check? You can message me login details from my profile.
Hi Mate,
Also sent you an email.
In fixing the mobile menu, you have inadvertently created a situation where the menu now appears on desktop setting above the header image
Hi Mate
Menu doesn’t appear on desktop. I checked your site. You can try clearing the cache. You can also check demo of theme. It is using latest version and menu is fine 
Thanks
I purchased a few days ago and gave the theme to Bluehost.com for installing in a new WP server setup but the theme failed to install (see below). The zip file downloaded was themeforest-7216144-goblog-responsive-wordpress-blog-theme. Please advise.
As for the theme, I got the following when trying to install:
===== Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-7216144-goblog-responsive-wordpress-blog-theme.zip Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
That’s something you’ll want to bring up with themeforest, then get back to us.
Thanks,
Riley Migration Specialist
You are installing wrong file. It is the full file containing theme, documentation, sample content etc. You just need to install goblog.zip file.
Doh! Bluehost tech notified.
Ok 
Just noticed I have same problem as visual edge above.

A new update is almost ready and I totally changed the mobile menu with the same menu as my other theme travelista. You can wait to get the update.
when will this be. I am getting great hits on my site that doesnt work properly 
I’m uploading the update. You can message me from my profile to get the update quickly 
I have the same problem as Seartwo ie. on iPhone the mobile menu icon is not clickable. The icon is there (set to white in settings against a black background) but when tapped/clicked it does not do anything. My site is: http://365daysofawesome.com/
A new update is almost ready and I totally changed the mobile menu with the same menu as my other theme travelista. You can wait to get the update.
When will that be? Right now our site is not usable AT ALL on mobile devices. Is there not a fix for it now while we wait for the upgrade?
I am uploading it today. If you want it now, you can even message me from my profile. Sorry for the inconvenience 
Thanks for the rating 
I installed the new theme (uploaded folder and replaced old one because your theme appears to have no way to perform an update through the WP dashboard), and now:
1. The mobile nav menu is completely GONE. Before it was not clickable, now it’s missing entirely.
2. When in mobile mode my top header strip (the teal blue area) is also gone at the top. It used to have the teal strip at the top and that’s where the mobile menu showed up.
This is extremely frustrating. Can you please help!
.
Hi
Menu is fine. You can check demo. It is using latest version and menu works fine.
It is not appearing on your site because you added custom CSS code to hide the logo. Now you can add one more CSS code to show the menu button.
.main-header .header { min-height: 60px }
Update function also works. Can you message me your API so I can check at my end?
Thanks
Thank you, that works great now!
What I’m referring to regarding updates is that I don’t see anywhere to check for updates and/or install them? I only have the ability to input my Envato username & API key, but after I save that info then what? Does the theme auto-update all by itself without telling me? Can I not check for new versions and manually initiate the update?
You will see the update notification above theme’s screenshot in Appearance -> Themes page if you add your user name and Envato API in Theme Options panel.
You need to manually update it by pressing on update button whenever you update notification there.
Thanks
Hi there, I attempted to update my blog with a new version of the theme and I wasn’t able to get my posts to posts to show up. The only thing I could see was my header. I reverted to a backup, but I was wondering if there was something I might be missing. Could you send me some info on updating the theme?
Thanks!
How did you update it and what’s the link to your blog?
Sorry for the late reply. I replaced the old files with the new ones on my sever
It must work then. Is it working now or still the same?
Popular Post widget not working.
See DennisDoesCricket.com
What problem you facing?
it appears blank.
You can try increasing the number of days and it will work.
No. Didn’t work. I used default 30 days and also tried 45 days
You can try adding 90+
Tried it. Nothing works
In next version it will work for you 
You can message me if you want it quickly. I am checking other things in theme.
Boss, how often does it update. Hasn’t changed any of my posts for a week. I’ve posted 5 times in that period but no change? What metrics does it point at?
I didn’t get you mate. Are you asking about theme update frequency?
no. how often does popular posts widget actually update the popular posts?
Whenever a post gets more views than other it goes on top
