Disqus Comments

Before uploading "Mediumish" theme, unzip it and open post.hbs file with an editor such as Notepad++. Around line 131, you will notice: s.src = 'https://wowthemesnet.disqus.com/embed.js';. Replace wowthemesnet with your own Disqus site-id.

Set Contact Form

Publish a regular page with the following content:

<form action="https://formspree.io/wowthemesnet@gmail.com" method="POST" class="ghostform">
    <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
    <label>Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" class="ghost-input">
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">

    <textarea type="text" name="message" class="ghost-input"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Send" class="ghost-btn btn btn-success">

Replace wowthemesnet@gmail.com with your own e-mail address and test your new contact form. Follow the instructions.

Subscribe Form

"Mediumish" theme supports "Subscribers" feature.

1. Log in to your publication.
2. Click Settings > Labs.
3. Check the box for Subscribers, under the Enable Beta Features.

That's it! Please, note, if you don't have this feature active, feedly.com is the default solution. Want to remove the "subscribe" feature? Open post.hbs file and remove (or edit as you wish) this part:

<div class="alertbar hidden-xs-down">
