Set Colors, Fonts & Images
This free travel blog theme packs many of the same powerful features you will find in similar premium themes. It is designed to allow you to completely customize how it looks, from the background images, to the headers and footers and all colors of everything in between! Make it your own, just like your trips and experiences on the road are one of a kind.
Built in Social Media
We created built in social media widgets, so your fans can follow you or share with their friends all the crazy things you did. But be careful, if you don’t want it spread around, don’t put it on the web! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas (unless it’s on Facebook!).
Instant Designs
We also included 5 gorgeous instant designs for you to choose from. With a single click you can conjure up a new look and feel for your site with our default theme looks. Or as we stated before, you can upload all your own photos and choose your own colors for just about every area of the site’s layout.
Three Alternate Layouts
We made it super easy in Travel Blogger to change the number of columns and their left or right side alignment with one click. Want to have your menus on the left, or maybe the right? Need more space for sidebar widgets? You can select 2 or 3 column layouts, and position them however you like.
Map Your Travels!
We even created a totally cool mapping feature, whereby you can create posts for each of the locations you visited and have them plotted on a Google map. You can have all your trip locations displayed in the global map widget in your sidebar, or inside each post you can display a map for that specific location. See, here is beautiful Bellevue, Washington:
Feature Your Exploits
We put in powerful controls over the “Featured Post” area in the header. You can have different featured posts on the Home page, and a unique featured post on each main Category page. Or, you can show a featured post only on the home page, leaving the rest of your site clean. Or, you can turn off all featured post areas in the header – make it your way!
Built In “Latest” and “Featured” Post Sidebar Widgets
Last but not least, we added some of the most useful sidebar tools – the kind of thing you always end up finding a plugin for anyway. Now you can feature selected posts in the “Featured Posts” widget. And in our “Latest Posts” widget, you can display the top posts from any category you set it to show. You can even place more than one Latest Posts widget to show posts from many different categories in your sidebars. Pretty powerful!
It’s All Up to You!
We sincerely hope you enjoy the Travel Blogger WordPress theme, and look forward to seeing what you do with it. Send us your questions through our Contact page here on this site. Happy travel blogging!

Amazing theme, perfect for traveling blogs or even agencies …
Hi great theme loving it!!
for posts is it possible to turn off author, date posted and comments?
There are no controls to disable that, but you can manually remove a few lines of code to remove that. Simply open single.php file and on line 23, remove the following code
< ?php expediawp_posted_on(); ?>
That should remove the author, date and comment count from posts
This feature has now been added to V1.4. Get it on the downloads page!
Okay, I know that Google+ doesn’t go off invite only until the end of the month, but will you be adding Google+ along with Facebook, or just keep Facebook?
BTW, awesome theme. I’m a complete WordPress newbie and most of your controls are very easy to setup and understand. Thanks!
Thanks Gar, and yes, we do plan on adding Google+ in the next release… which is coming out this week! So look for a new update shortly. Thanks for your support.
This feature has now been added to V1.4.
I really do like this theme, nicely done.
I am, however, having an issue with getting embedded YouTube to display on a home page post, even though it seems to function fine on the post page itself. If you do not wish to respond here, please email me.
Thanks!
Paul:)
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your support!
To display embedded videos in the home page, you’ll need to edit some of the theme’s core files.
Open the file named “loop-home.php” and on line 49, you should see this , change it to and you should get the effect you are looking for.
You will also need to edit “loop.php” if you want this change to happen on the entire site, so on line 115, change to
Remember, that when altering the theme’s core files, you will lose any modifications when updating to newer versions. So make sure to take notes of custom changes to reapply them
Hope this helps!
Love the theme, easy to work with, I only have one problem I need help with.
How can I remove the menu bar at the bottom of the page?
Thanks in advance.
Hi bhh,
Thanks for the support.
To remove the footer menu, you’ll need to edit the “footer.php” file in the theme’s folder. Delete lines 17 thru 19.
Remember, that when altering the theme’s core files, you will lose any modifications when updating to new versions. So make sure to take notes of custom changes to reapply them.
First of all Congrats for you theme!
I would like to remove the “read more” option from the posts in the main page. How could I do that? Thanks a lot!
Hi muchoquever,
You will need to edit some of the core files of the theme. Open this file: /lib/functions/components.php. On line 110, comment or delete it.
Remember, that when altering the theme’s core files, you will lose any modifications when updating to new versions. So make sure to take notes of custom changes to reapply them.
Thanks a lot!
One more thing. I’ve removed the “read more” option but my target is to read all the post in the main page. How could I do that?
Thanks in advance!
We are just about to release an update that will allow you to control whether your blog roll shows only excerpts of your post, or your full post. Stay tuned, as it will be up soon.
This feature has been added to the latest version 1.4
this is a nice theme, i may use it for my travel site
I think ‘Categories’ is mispelled on your Theme on the Menu at the top-left…’CATEORIES’ Thanks much!
Thanks Joel, but I can’t find which menu you mean. Can you be more specific? On the website or in the backend? Where exactly? Thanks!
Is it possible to remove the twitter and facebook links?
They should go away when no information is entered in the social media settings.
Do you mean actually writing “no information” or just leaving it blank?
Anker,
I went ahead and put this into the most recent reply to your first comment, but I would just leave it blank. Thanks for contacting us, if you are still having problems with this issue, please let us know.
- Travel Blogger Support
I love this theme and I’ve been playing around with it all day and feel that I’ve got it looking pretty much how I want it to (except I stripped out too much of the footer – will rectify that soon).
What I would really like to do is get rid of the comment side bar on the front page posts… the bit where it says “There are no comments, click here be the first one!”.
I would rather that not be there so that it looks more like the list of posts once you’re looking at from the category view
Hope I’m making sense.
Regards,
Jacqui
Yes that makes sense. Sorry, right now there is no control for that, but we are considering adding that option in the future.
i am using Travel Blogger theme. I dont know how to use wp-pagenavi plugin for my blog. can u help me!!! or this theme cant use with this plugin
This sounds like more of a problem with the plugin, I would ask the creators of the plugin if this is a common issue.
Can u help me display link in homepage
On the page, there are no paragraph breaks. But when you go to the article it looks exactly as I want it. Can I change the way the summary is handled on the main page?
This is a common issue on WordPress. WordPress strips all HTML from snippet the text, unfortunately, on any theme.
I can´t show the map on right menu, however i just copy the code [tb_google_map] and i can see the map inside my post, but “Map of my trips” doesn´t show the map with the locations, show a message: “Sorry,locations no found”.
Any help?
Thanks in advance, and sorry about my poor English
The address is entered on the Edit Post page, on the right. By entering an address here, you can load a map within the content using the shortcode [tb_google_map], or simply enabling the map widget in one of the sidebars.
hey just wondering if someone can hep me out with some questions i have about your theme im using thanks.
Sure, how can we help?
Hi, awesome travel template – am just roadtesting – some pages I do not want for people to “leave a reply” (i.e. leave a reply text, comments box & post comment button etc.) – how do you remove this? Many thanks, Harry
You can disable/enable comments on whichever pages/posts you want. Go to the Edit Page screen and find the drop down on the top right where it says “Screen Options.” Click on that and make sure “Discussion” is checked, then look below the body of the page and there will be a check box for allowing comments. Uncheck the box to disable comments on that particular page.
Hi, just made this theme “mine” on my website. Like it a lot. Many thanks, Hugo
thank you for wp theme.
Love your theme, how do I make html work in a post within your theme, example I put this code into a post and the “Hi” should be in red and “My name is Sam” should be in blue
Hi My name is Sam
It works in other themes but in the travel blog it just comes up with no colour, Thanks in advance, Sam
“”
Hi My name is Sam”"
How do I edit the Google+ and Twitter settings. When I click on the social media settings I only see Twiiter, Facebook and RSS but I don’t see the other two settings for google+ and tweets.
Thanks!
The only twitter thing we do is give a link for people to follow you, if you want to be able to tweet posts from your site you’ll need a new plugin. For google+ we’ve added a button for people to +1 your site in the latest update (you may need to be logged into google when you visit the site to see the button).
Hi, wonderful theme for travels-site!
I’m testing everything because to change my blog/asp to WP.
I have one question, if you have a little time to reply
Is it possible to disable the view of comments on the homepage (on the right of each post)?
Thank you a lot!
Our theme currently does not have a control to get rid of the comment box on the preview, but we are considering adding that option.
I love this theme and I’ve been playing around with it all day and feel that I’ve got it looking pretty much how I want it to (except I stripped out too much of the footer – will rectify that soon).
Hi great theme loving it!!
for posts is it possible to turn off author, date posted and comments?
Not in the current version of the theme, but we are coming out with a new version next week that has a lot of updates to it, and this will have been one of the features added, so keep an eye out for it! Thanks!
- Travel Blogger Theme Support
Is it possible to disable the view of comments on the homepage ？
There is no theme control for that at this time. You would need to modify the CSS directly. Would you like me to ask our developer where?
I want to remove the social media bar under the nav menu all together. How do I do that? I assume I’ll need to remove some code, I’m just not sure where. Thanks
Hi to all, wonderful theme !!
I have a problem: I’d the “Like” Facebook button in italian, but I have some difficult with the code… can you help me?
P.S.: Do you know how to disable the view of comments on the homepage (on the right of each post) ? I’m trying to edit manually your code but I have some difficult…
To change the facebook widget to italian, you will need to edit some of the core files of the theme. In /lib/functions/layout.php on line 83, change
to.As for removing the comments, there is no admin control for this option at this time. But you can manually disable them. There are two ways of accomplishing this, the simples way is method number one, where you remove the custom blogroll template, but with this you won’t have the teasers at the bottom of the page (smaller blocks of content). Method two is a little more complex but you keep the teasers at the bottom of the page.
1. Method One
Open the index.php file located in the root folder of the theme(you can also use the editor in the wordpress admin area, under Appearance > Editor, file is named “Main Index Template”.
On line 27, where this shows: get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘home’ );. Change to get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘index’ );
2. Method Two
Open file loop-home.php in the root folder of the theme (you can aslo use the editor in the wordpress admin area)
On line 48 where this is displayed: <div class=”col1″>, change to <div class=”col5″>. Now on line 62 thru line 65, you will remove all these lines. So where this displays:
<div class="col2">
<?php exp_get_comments($post->ID); ?>
</div>
Remove completely.
Good theme! Thank you.
Hi,
How I can remove Leave a Reply, Comment thanks
Ruby,
You can always turn off comments on pages and posts, but we are not sure where you want to remove this from.
- Travel Blogger Support
hi admin,
your theme is great for travel agency.
thanks,
travel2see.ru
hi admin,
i have few question, how can i remove the search field? and the social media tab?
thanks in advance,
greeting from Moscow,
travel2see.ru
Leyla,
The theme does not have a control at this time to remove the social media bar, but we will be adding this capability in an update. The search field is actually part of the social media bar, so there is no way to remove this at this time either. If you need to remove a search field from one of your sidebars, you can do this by simply going into under Appearance > Widgets and removing the search widget from your sidebar.
- Travel Blogger Support
btw. love the themes. great job. one more sues. If I want to remove the leave a reply on the editor, what is code for that?
Hi Brian,
You can remove the comments, you will need to change a few arguments in the comments api.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form
The comment api (comment_form() ) is located in the comments.php file (line 78), so use the examples from the link above to change/remove the title.
Hope this helps.
Hi, Nice template! I’m a complete WP newbie, and want to use WP to build a non-blog website. Can you tell me:
1) How readily can this template integrate with a Forum – I’m particularly thinking of the BBPress plugin?
2) Can the social media icons, twitter, FB, google etc and connections be removed easily? I know you give, above, in response to a question “Is it possible to remove the twitter and facebook links?” the answer:
“They should go away when no information is entered in the social media settings.”
Do you mean they’ll just disappear? ALL of them? Or is there a way of editing the the code to make them disappear from the moment the site is created?
Thanks in anticipation!
Marc
Marc,
RE: 1) How readily can this template integrate with a Forum – I’m particularly thinking of the BBPress plugin?
A: This should work fine
RE: 2) Can the social media icons, twitter, FB, google etc and connections be removed easily? I know you give, above, in response to a question “Is it possible to remove the twitter and facebook links?” the answer:
“They should go away when no information is entered in the social media settings.”

A: The theme does not currently have a control to completely hide the social media bar, but we will be adding that in a future update. For now, you can comment it out of the CSS, but that might be a bit tricky unless you are familiar with CSS.

Before, I say many thanks for making this wonderful themes and share them, Is there are themes that are similar to this but the theme of a news site? because I wanted to create a news site
Thanks Before
We currently don’t have a news theme that we’ve developed, but there are other themes out there that are more tailored to news themes, if you go to http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ you should be able to search for and find a free theme that would be suited for your needs. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Guys,
Absolutely love your themes. Awesome.
Would you be able to advise how I can change the term “HOME” on the navbar to a keyword like “City Breaks” – as you have done on your site to “THEMES”?
Thanks again in advance
This is more of a basic WordPress use question, but in order to change the name of “Home” on the nav bar, there are a couple places you can do this. One place to do this would be to go under Pages > All Pages in the admin area of the site, and then edit the title of the page to the desired name that you would want for it. Another place to just change it on the top menu, is to go under Appearance > Menus in the admin area and then edit the menu to have the new term.

Hi guys,
I have send in two support forms in the last two weeks and so far no response so I hope someone can help me
I have this website: http://www.backpackerslife.nl and from the fifth post down the comments disappear and two posts are put next to each other. I want them all to be the same. I have the same settings for all the posts. Please let me know how to fix this! Thanks! 
Hey Danielle,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I have to talk to one of our developers about this, but they will get back to you as soon as they can. Thanks! Sorry again for the delay!

Hi,
I’m working on wordpress blog for my site .
how to keep multiple locations in a single map (in a single post)
Ravi,
Please refer to : http://www.freetravelwebsitetemplates.com/global-google-map-widget/. If you have anymore questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again. Thanks!
- Travel Blogger Support
The search field is actually part of the social media bar, so there is no way to remove this at this time either.
This theme is nice and powerful. I used it on my travel-blog.
Thank you very much for this theme.
is it possible to have control over the widgets separated into 2 distinct areas? eg: index pg and all inner pages
the reason I ask is Goog in their further refinement of Panda has indicated that blogs or sites that have adverts on the index pg may be dropped as low quality…they indicate they will continue to index those same sites, IF the index pg has no or very little adverts
on another point where is this single.php file located that is referenced above?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, but I will need to contact one of our developers about this question. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks!

I am having problems with pictures on the blog. They are being squeezed and I really don’t like that.
Everything looks fine in editing mode, so any advice on this problem. Picture size is 600 x 400 px. It also looks fine on the frontpage but not in the post itself? Example here: http://rahtkensnorup.dk/?page_id=30 Nice theme by the way! 
Anker,
I am not sure if one of our support personnel were already able to get back to you, but I would need to contact one of our developers about this question, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. In regards to your question below about writing no information, I would just leave it blank. Thank you for contacting us, please let me know if you have any other issues.

Hi, thanks for your great theme. Can you tell me how it is possible to change the width of the main content column? I want to make it wider.
Thanks Daniel
Hey Daniel,
You will need to edit the CSS files for the theme in order to change the width of the main content area. We haven’t added this capability to our theme menu yet, but will probably do so in a later update. Here is come information for you on how to change the width of the sidebars, which I believe also gives you information on how to change the width of the main content area, you would need to know how to change the width of the sidebars anyways when doing this, so I hope that this helps. If you have any other questions, or still have an issue with this please contact me, and I will get back to one of our developers about this. Thanks!
We use a widely known CSS grid that has tons of documentation to help you. Below is the link:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/
You would need to add a few lines of CSS to change the sidebars, depending on which side you set the sidebar, would either need to add .yui-t6 .yui-b or .yui-t3 .yui-b.
You will also need to change the main content div which would be either
.yui-t6 #yui-main .yui-b or .yui-t3 #yui-main .yui-b
So those selectors should be enough to change the widths.
- Travel Blogger Support
Fantastic theme, I really like it. There are so many options to give your site a very personal feel.
I do have a problem however. I would like to use the theme with only left sidebar, but when I choose that option the sidebar is much wider than I would like it to be. How can I make it smaller? I like the width of the sidebar in http://www.eco-info.net/energy/fossil-fuels which is a page where I turned off the right sidebar but I can’t find the same option in posts so my post appears like this http://www.eco-info.net/fossil-fuels.html I would like that to look the same as http://www.eco-info.net/energy/fossil-fuels.
Sorry, I’m not sure whether I’m clear enough and maybe a bit too long.
Thank you very much for the theme and I hope you can help with this isssue.
Erika, In order to change the width of the sidebars this is what you would need edit the CSS code in the theme files, here is how to do so below:
