Deployment

To run the theme locally, navigate to the theme directory and run bundle install to install the dependencies, then run jekyll serve or bundle exec jekyll serve to start the Jekyll server.

I would recommend checking the Deployment Methods page on Jekyll website.

---

Posts

To create a new post, you can create a new markdown file inside the _posts directory by following the recommended file structure.

  ---
  layout: post
  title: Premiere on Broadway
  date: 2018-08-23 16:04:00 +0300
  image: 03.jpg
  tags: [Rest]
  ---

You can set the tags and the post image.

Add post images to /img/ directory.

For tags, try to not add space between two words, for example, Ruby on Rails, could be something like (ruby-on-rails, Ruby_on_Rails, or Ruby-on-Rails).

---

Disqus Comments

Galada Theme comes with Disqus comments enabled.

Open _config.yml file, and change the mr-brown value on line 26 with your Disqus account shortname.

  Comment Section (Disqus)
  disqus-identifier: mr-brown \# Add your shortname for Disqus Comment. For example mr-brown

That’s all you need to setup Disqus from the theme side. If you get any issue regarding that comments are unable to load. First, make sure you have registered your website with Disqus (Step 1).

And also check Disqus troubleshooting guide if you still have issues.

Instagram

The Instagram feed is working using Instafeed.js to show the photos.

First, you will need to get your account userId and accessToken from the following URLs:

• userId: smashballoon.com/instagram-feed/find-instagram-user-id
• accessToken: instagram.pixelunion.net

Second, open the js/common.js file and replace the userId and accessToken values.

        var instagramFeed = new Instafeed({
          get: 'user',
          limit: 6,
          resolution: 'standard_resolution',
          userId: '8987997106',
          accessToken: '8987997106.924f677.8555ecbd52584f41b9b22ec1a16dafb9',
          template: ''
        });

Third, open the _config.yml file and replace the instafeed: false on instafeed: true value.

        \# Instagram Feed
        instafeed: false \# To enable the instafeed, use the value true. To turn off use the value false.

---

Google Analytics

To integrate Google Analytics, open _config.yml, and add your Google Analytics identifier.

\# Google Analytics
google-analytics: \# Add your identifier. For example UA-99631805-1

---

Update favicon

You can find the current favicon (favicon.ico) inside the theme root directory, just replace it with your new favicon.

---

Could you assist me to replace the Logo image instead for a logo text?

It's still working on github pages?

I've tried to fork it on my repo but not works.

is it possible to make another tab that includes some other posts?

Hi,

First of all, thank you for this web, I really like it. May I ask you how to make another tab that includes some other posts? For example, right now we have a home tab that includes many posts. But I want to make another table, let's call it "life", that includes some other posts. I am a beginner in jekyll and had a hard time to figure it out. Can you please give me some helps?

Thank you.

Custom page Layout creation

Could you help me in creating a similar layout as the index page in a new page where I can show all my projects just like blog posts?

Home Page not showing Ionicons Icons

my blog does not show the Ionicons Icons on the Home Page, but for other pages and post links its fine.

Icons are not accessible after navigating to the 'Older Posts' Section

I think there is something to do with baseurl.. Could you plz check it

Provide a gem

Can you provide a gem on Ruygems jekyll-galada.

See https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/#understanding-gem-based-themes

So one could add gem "jekyll-galada" in its Gemfile and theme: galada in _config.yml when wanting to change a theme and easily update it.

Does not work in static hosting or Github Pages

I love this theme. But it does not work in static hosting (netlify) or Github pages, is that because of the Loading page? It gets stuck in that page. Can you help me with that?

You can verify by checking out infoyard.github.io and the code at https://github.com/infoyard/infoyard.github.io

Gem?

This theme looks quite nice, but I think it'd be nicer if people could use it as a gem instead of forking your repository.

The sizes of two posts are different

Hello! I'm a novice of lekyll, and have a problem which I have no idea how to solve.

as you see, the size of the left post is smaller , I don't know what's wrong.
Could you please help me?
And I'm sorry for my poor English.

Tags Page not Accesible externally

Hi, I'm having an issue where the tags page is inaccessible from the outside.
When I try to access it, I get redirected to the internal address of the server.

I looked for the version that I'm currently using, but can't find it anywhere.

We're hosting it on our own server with Jekyll.
