When I modify any of the original text the social media buttons disappear... Any solutions?

I would like to serve different images as background in the <header class="masthead"> element. The actual image would be chosen with media query on the device's size (basically, always the same figure but with different file size).
I was wondering if it's something you've already done, or if you have suggestions/templates.
Cheers

Hi, I am trying to include React on this theme...
Bootstrap is already replace and everything is fine, even the requirement with jquery.
Now I want to remove jquery also from the clean-blog.js
The option A is doing it with React 100%. (Is what I am going to do)
And the option B, for no expert users is to stop using jquery, and use Vanilla js.

Just that! good luck! .

I like this template and I was disappointed when I found there was no comments section on the single post page. :(

Nothing I do can get the contact form to work. Have change the line in the PHP file with an email account that isn't gmail/hotmail. Form submits but never receive mail.

This is regarding the Bootstrap navigation component (http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar-default)

I have added the following HTML to the right area of the navigation bar:

<li class="dropdown">
    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
        Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>

However, on utilising this drop-down link, the links within the drop down menu are not visible unless you scroll down on the page (and thereby the links remain invisible if the page doesn't scroll).

I am happy to submit a fix for this.

When adding my own links to the social buttons, they only work if I right-click and choose "open in new tab". If pressed "normally" it re-directs to a blank page, URL still says page adress. When tested in Edge I get an error message saying "This content can not be displayed in a frame". As far as I'm concerned there are no frames on the page that would cause this. I've also tried creating links outside of bootstrap the same problem occur with these.

I know the template has a pager. Could you add pagination too?

Hey there! Love this blog theme! I use it at http://ashfurrow.com/ and I've enjoyed learning from your code.

One thing is that intro-header's background colour isn't respected, at least on Safari. It's always white. I think that I've narrowed the problem down to these few lines:

.intro-header {
    background-color: @gray; 
    background: no-repeat center center; 

The first line sets the background colour, but it's overriden by the following background: specifier. I switched the order of the two lines and it worked for me.

Thanks again!

Hello,

I see you include 2 css file, 1 for bootstrap, and one for the theme
I try to compile 1 CSS file only with Sass, but i can't get it to work
How to achieve it ?
Here is what i've tried :

@import 'node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap';

@import "variables.scss";
@import "mixins.scss";
@import "global.scss";
@import "navbar.scss";
@import "masthead.scss";
@import "post.scss";
@import "contact.scss";
@import "footer.scss";
@import "bootstrap-overrides.scss";

As you can see, the btn-primary color is not overrided (default bootstrap blue ?) :

Thanks for your help

How to add a dropdown navbar with several options?
I'm changing the html files but I have some difficulties to make it well.

Hi, For my web page I am using only the contact form, But I am having an issue with it's implementation I got constantly the message. Sorry it seems that my mail server is not responding. Please try again later!
Any recommendation to make it work in hosting live. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if you could add the project link in the details of the layout. It is adapted to be used in the pelican

JS file used in contact page is missing in js/ folder.

Adding js file from here: https://reactiveraven.github.io/jqBootstrapValidation/ fixed the error

I'm trying to insert an interactive map in the body of the bootstrap theme around line 73. I noticed the map only renders if I remove the line < div class="col-lg-8 col-md-10 mx-auto" >, but when that happens, the map renders over the page. If I keep the line in, the map is not visible.

When scrolling up in IE the navbar is showing, but hiding again when stop scrolling. To fix this replace

// Navigation Scripts to Show Header on Scroll-Up
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var MQL = 1170;

    //primary navigation slide-in effect
    if ($(window).width() > MQL) {
        var headerHeight = $('.navbar-custom').height();
        $(window).on('scroll', {
                previousTop: 0
            },
            function() {
                var currentTop = $(window).scrollTop();
                //check if user is scrolling up
                if (currentTop < this.previousTop) {
                    //if scrolling up...
                    if (currentTop > 0 && $('.navbar-custom').hasClass('is-fixed')) {
                        $('.navbar-custom').addClass('is-visible');
                    } else {
                        $('.navbar-custom').removeClass('is-visible is-fixed');
                    }
                } else {
                    //if scrolling down...
                    $('.navbar-custom').removeClass('is-visible');
                    if (currentTop > headerHeight && !$('.navbar-custom').hasClass('is-fixed')) $('.navbar-custom').addClass('is-fixed');
                }
                this.previousTop = currentTop;
            });
    }
});

with

    var MQL = 1170;

    //primary navigation slide-in effect
    if ($(window).width() > MQL) {

Dear developpers,

I am using the template designed for Github.
The contact form implemented in this template use formspree.io to redirect emails as github only accept static pages (not php).K

Nevertheless, I have the message "Sorry XXX, it seems that my mail server is not responding. Please try again later".
The fact is I do not received the email from formspree.io to validate my account. I try several e-mail accounts, I do not received this email.

Do you have ideas to fix this?

You are changing the padding of all the buttons with this. Maybe the padding should be set on specific buttons only else it makes the input-group buttons not match in height.

When using Capybara to test a RoR application that uses this project's CSS, an error occurs as the sass gem parses the css.

The error is: ActionView::Template::Error: Invalid CSS after "...orm-group::not(": expected pseudo_expr, was ":first-child)"

I found reference to this same error on Stack Overflow from someone who encountered the problem when pushing a rails app that uses the blackrockdigital/startbootstrap-freelancer to Heroku. The post is located at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29895297/sasssyntaxerror-invalid-css-after-orm-groupnot-expected-pseudo-expr

Hi David,
I am looking to provide some basic "starter repo's" for Metalsmith SSG, so I converted this template so it can be immediately edited and added to as a static site: https://github.com/metalsmith/startbootstrap-clean-blog. Thx to metalsmith's unopinionated nature, I had to alter almost nothing from the sources and was done in +- 2 hours. In the process of doing so, I wondered if perhaps startbootstrap could benefit from using metalsmith as the build pipeline: metalsmith can do all what the scripts files do and would allow users to write content in markdown and build more easily upon the existing template (and soon I will also add an esbuild bundler plugin).

I am aware static sites are not the only use case of these generic templates, but would argue the result is still more usable for any use case as the data is externalized. Also to be noted is that if you don't like the markdown, the content pages can also be pug templates (using @metalsmith/in-place)

It's also definitely a win for metalsmith because the alternative is (what I just did) forking the templates and manually keeping them in sync. Please clone the fork when you have some time and see if you like the added value it provides

Using the envelope icon from FontAwesome does not work. It just shows an empty disc (circle).

<li class="list-inline-item">
    <a href="mailto:{{ $owner_email }}" target="_blank">

        <i class="fas fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
        <i class="fab fa-envelope fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
      </span>
    </a>
  </li>

Please implement a scroll up button with smooth scrolling in pages. This is I guess rather easy to implement. I am talking about buttons that appear after you start scrolling down and then pressing them gets you to the very top of the page.
