Where could i find the search form for change the placeholder text??? I cant- find it…..
]]>I need my blog/news line at xyx.com/blog/ URL
Usually I set Home and Post pages at wp-admin/options-reading.php Something like that https://take.ms/APbR6
But I cannot get home page with widgets for Lobster theme in that case ??
How can I tell Lobster theme to render a specific page as main page with widgets on the plate?
Is there some workaround? Maybe ready to use page template or code?
]]>Is there any way to make the front page widgets act as links?
Thank you,it is a wonderful theme.
]]>Hi there
I am trying to add a title and meta description to the main first page with Ultimate seo or yoast but since the first page of the lobster theme it does not seem to be a traditional “page” I cannot find a place to add the meta description for seo.
Anyone has a suggestion?
]]>hi
i don’t get the is_lobster_full_width() function in functions.php:365.
i expect it to be the switch if full-width was choosen at page creation. but there is no template in your theme, so it’s kind of useless.
but perhaps i am overlooking something?
i solved the problem with creating a child theme and added a templ-full-width.php.
in footer.php (child theme) i removed is_lobster_full_width():13 and replaced it with get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_wp_page_template', true ) != "templ-full-width.php". now, the sidebar is not displayed if i chose my newly created templ-full-width.php at page creation.
last step, i added following style.css:
body.page-template-templ-full-width-php div#primary {
width: 100%;
}this broadens the content of #primary if <body> has the template class, which is added by wordpress.
could you explain what is_lobster_full_width() does?
greetings,
dominic
First of all thank you for this wonderful theme.
My site was showing thumbnails at 16:9 ratio. Old posts are still showing at 16:9. Old posts are using the default image that is xyz.jpg but now whenever I create a new post and set a image as Featured image it showing square image instead of 16:9 aspect. it brings a image of size 500×500 and the name of the file will be xyz-500×500.jpg is there a way I can make featured image shown is xyz.jpg rather than xyz-500×500.jpg?
My site is cookingshooking.in
Just background:
I ported my site from different theme to Lobster three days back, I used plugin called Media tools to set Thumbnails for all the previous posts. It assigned all the first image of the post as featured image. I am not sure does this plugin has to do with setting the size of the thumbnail.
Please help
]]>I recently got help with another issue and now that’s fixed but I believe in fixing that problem, it “broke” something else.
I noticed that none of my posts (not pages) are showing. I don’t know which template is being used but all the posts show blank.
]]>When I created this site recently, it was created on the WP 3.81. I chose Lobster because I am using it on another site with no problems.
However, this time, my static page is not showing. When visitors go to my site, https://melodyesdsdomination.com/, the only thing they see is the header. My home page top widget area is not visible, not is my page content that was selected as the static page.
When I’m logged into WP everything looks gtreat. But if I go to my site without being logged in (as visitors would) I get nothing but the header or even “This webpage is not available”.
If I a visitor goes to a specific page like https://melodyesdsdomination.com/how-dsd-works/, that shows correctly. But again if they click the HOME tab, they will not see it.
Thanks for the help on this!
]]>I am very new and just have one small question I believe.
I want the archive page to display like the other pages, meaning:
I was the 2 columns so I can display the sidebar for widgets. I have used the php to show sidebar and that works, it just doesnt show up on the side. ?? Can you tell me what to do?
Thanks
]]>Hello,
First of all let me congratulate you for the great work you’ve done with this theme, it’s insanely great !!
I would like to add below the widget on the front page more content but you would like it to be added straight into the source instead of creating a page… I can’t find the place where im supposed to add the code.
Would you be kind enough to give me a little clue ? ??
Thanks a lot !

]]>Do you have any plans to add an image gallery page or other types of pages? Thanks!
]]>Hi,
I’m new of WordPress and I have some problems with the creation of a child theme.
In particular I would like to modify inc/theme-options.php in my child theme to delete star icon, but my changes do not appear when I refresh the page.
If I modify inc/theme-options.php in parent theme this edit appear, but I don’t want to change parent theme to avoid losing the changes if I update.
What should I do?
Thanks and congratulations for the beautiful theme ??
Hello Ruphel,
Firstly, I want to say thank you for a template that has so many simple customization options using bootstrap3 & a simple elegant layout. I installed the template on WordPress yesterday night & found that my homepage post excerpts do not center very well with the top header when using a sidebar & also having 66% content width. The content width doesn’t seem to interfere with the post excerpts, but if I want to use a sidebar for my main content, I don’t seem to have a simple choice in aligning it directly using the customization option.
I could possibly change the class for the homepage & use a second class for the main content, but is there a more efficient way of doing this than creating a new CSS class?
Center Alignment on Homepage: https://www.infinitesapience.com
Center Alignment on Main Content Articles: https://www.infinitesapience.com/
My second question is how do I implement all the wonderful styles, buttons, & enhancements of bootstrap3 they inform us about on their website? For instance, if I want to add a responsive table like this oneon one of my posts, do I simply add the HTML provided when I post an article on my main page?
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table">
...
</table>
</div>Edit: I tested this with a responsive table & everything seemed to work. All I did was add the html & css class attributes used from bootstrap3’s website.
Thirdly, I am also interested in modifying the CSS / HTML extensively, but am afraid my edits / changes would simply be erased when an update is available for this template. If I edit the style.dev.css & change it to style.css, will my code / edits be erased or would I simply go back to the style.dev.css & copy & paste to style.css (Of course after I backup the default CSS file) after the template has been updated? Does a update of this template replace the style.dev.css CSS file?
Thanks again Ruphel!
]]>Hi
First of all our thanks and congrats for such a beautiful and nice theme.
I was playing around with it and now I am unable to change the background of the foooter – I am assuming the footer is the place where you have the 3 images in centre with some text below.
How do I revert back to the default color and back ground settings.
Also How to add text or content to the centre of the page where you have the star. Can i add text and images there ?
regards
Bhavesh Shah
I am very sorry.
If you updated to find your Lobster font changed.
A replacement has been corrected and uploaded.
If you cannot wait:
a) Delete your style.css and the rename your style.dev.css to style.css
this will solve the problem.
b) In your dashboard’s main menu go to Appearance > Editor
You’ll be taken to directly to style.css
Scroll right down to the very bottom and you will see
.wp-caption.aligncenter{display:none}
directly after the above code
press return to form a new and copy paste the code below in to the bottom of your style.css
.jumbotron h3{
color: #0088cc;
font-family: Lobster;
}
.jumbotron {
color: #222;
font-family: Lobster;
}
.jumbo-icon {
color: #0088cc;
font-size: 46px;
}
.home-jumbotron {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 5px;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
.home-jumbotron h3 {
font-size: 96px;
}
and click
'Up Date File'Again sorry for any inconvenience caused

]]>Hello I’d like to change the star in the headline and header to my logo? What’s the best way to do this? thanks in advance!
]]>Hi wondering if I could change the Lobster font. thanks.
awesome theme
]]>I really like the lobster bootstrap theme, but I do not seem to be able to edit the Home Page Widgets, I want to change the text under the big images (telephone, rocket and lens) in the home page, and possibly change the pictures too
]]>How can I enable the custom header in my site?
]]>I counted no less than three (3) H1 tags, this is a really bad seo practice. There should be only one (1) H1 tag per page, followed by a H2 (I only use one of these per page). H3 – H6 can be use multiple times per page.
H1 = Main heading tag
H2 = Sub heading
Nice theme but these H tags need to be fixed.
]]>Lobster has build-in support for the <b>CTP Bootstrap Carousel Plugin</b>. It is important to understand that this plugin uses the Javasccript and CSS file that are already loaded with Bootstrap. So if you were to load a new slider with its own Javascript and CSS your site will take a performance hit, in terms page load time.
Currently, I have just tested, Lobster 1.3 scores 66/100 for mobile, which will have to be improved over the coming weeks and 90/100 for desktop. This was tested on a shared server. Page load speeds are very important. So, the less sever requests, the better.
The purpose of this little tutorial is to replicate the slider in the theme demo, while introducing you to some of the other options available.
To use the Carousel as on the Front Page of the demo. Download and install CTP Bootstrap Carousel.
Once the carousel plugin is activated, you can add a slide via the Carousel Custom Post Type on your main dashboard menu.
To achieve the same result as the demo. Add one post with featured image, (1500px x 400/500px is recommended – note the images float: left;). Then enter a URL beneath, if you want the slide to link to a post, site or page, otherwise leave as is.
Note: I do not use the excerpt field, which displays the excerpt on the slide-image, along with a read more button. The excerpt and button do not display very well on smaller screens, so I choose not to display them. You may well use media queries to hide them on smaller devices.
Publish your post and you will see your image appear above the menu on the front page – if you use a static front page, or homepage/blog if you use the ‘latest post’ option.
Now it is highly, no VERY highly recommended that you download the file and use a text editor to edit a file, if you must edit live then make sure to read this codex article on editing files. Remember to back up and again, back up your files.
If you do get a WSOD (white screen of death), scroll to the top of the file and rename the plugin, this deactivates it, then delete it and start again. Note you cannot do this with a theme!
There is list of excellent free text editors available to download at the bottom of that article. Sublime Text 2 is the text editor I use. Please do not use a word processor like Microsoft Word as these add formatting – not good!
Find your way to the plugin directory, which is usually found at yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/cpt-bootstrap-carousel/cpt-bootstrap-carousel.php
Scroll down to line: 127
Here you’ll see an array() for $defaults
`’interval’ => ‘5000’,
‘showcaption’ => ‘true’,
‘showcontrols’ => ‘true’,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘category’ => ”,`
The ‘interval’ is time measured in ms 5000 = 5 seconds this sets the duration that a slide remains on screen before sliding away.
The second key ‘showcaption’ displays the excerpt and the read more button; on the demo that is set to ‘false’.
The third key ‘showcontrols’ is used to display next slide button/arrows that lay at either side of the carousel. On the demo this is set to ‘false’.
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’ display the slide in the sequence of how they appear on your custom post column in your admin.
‘order’ => ‘ASC’ in ascending order ‘DESC’ is the decending alternative.
‘category’ => ”, displays slides in a given category.
To replicate the demo, your code should look like this:
`’interval’ => ‘5000’,
‘showcaption’ => ‘false’,
‘showcontrols’ => ‘false’,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘category’ => ”,`
I hope this was helpful!
