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

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 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.

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!

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?

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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/

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

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
