Travel Blogger – Version 1.3.5 – Release Notes: 08/11/2011
- Google Maps widget improvements:
- Fixed issue with Google Map widget breaking after a certain number of results. Please read more below for instructions on how to update your current locations.
- Ability to switch blogroll from displaying only summary (excerpt) or full formatted text (does truncate nor remove html tags)
- After many requests we added this ability to make it easy for users to easly switch their blogrolls from displaying full formatted text or excerpts of their posts. The new setting is located in Appearance > Theme Layout & Skins
Several users reported that their global map widget would stop functioning after a number of results were shown. After further investigation, we discovered that there was an issue with Google’s geocoder API that imposes a limit of queries. To address this, the widget no longer queries the location live on the map, but when the location is saved in the post.
FOR EXISTING USERS – You must update the existing address to be compatible with the new data structure. We’ve made this easy as a click of a button. Simply log on to your wordpress account, go to APPEARANCE > THEME LAYOUT & SKINS. At the very bottom of the page there is a link “click here” that updates the existing addresses. You must run this or manually update your existing posts in order for the map to work.
Travel Blogger – Version 1.3.4 – Release Notes: 07/21/2011
- WordPress 3.2 Update:
- Now compatible with the latest WordPress 3.2 update
- Fixed issue with uploading background, header and footer images caused by WordPress 3.2 update
- Featured Image:
- Added functionality to scrape for any image inserted in the body of a post and use that for the featured image. This means you no longer have to set a specific featured image if you don’t want to. Useful for the image is coming from an external URL and you can’t set it to be a featured image.
- Featured Area:
- Changed the post title in a Featured Area to be an H1 instead of an H2 (for SEO)
- Now to change the color of the H1 in a featured post you change the “Page Title (H1)” color
- Custom Colors:
- Updated the colors so that the colors on the “custom colors” controls now change to reflect the colors of the currently selected Skin.
- Made it so the color of the sidebar widgets text titles match & update to the color of the H1s on the rest of the site.
- Menus:
- Added ability to change size of top & footer menu text
- SEO Changes:
- Made the site title an H1 on the home page. On all other pages it is not.
- Made the site tagline an H2 on the home page. On all other pages it will be a P tag.
- Made the title of the featured post in the featured post area an H1. Left all the post titles in the blog roll H2s.
- Minor bugs:
- Fixed a bug with the RSS feed

Can you please make it possible to use a header higher than 130px?
Thanks for a nice theme guys!
Hi Patrik – Yes, but this change has to be done in the theme’s code. You’ll need to open this file, theme_root/lib/functions/launch.php and on line 55 change this “define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘expediawp_header_image_height’, 130 ) );” The number “130″ represents the height, so change that to the desired height and once you upload the new image it should crop to the new height.
Hi, the change is actually in the launch.php. You will also have to go into the header file and change the padding or height to accommodate your new header size. On another note, can you please tell me how to fix this fatal error in the header option: Fatal error: Call to undefined method EXP_Custom_Image_Header::show_default_header_selector() in mysite/public_html/Travel/wp-content/themes/travelblogger/lib/classes/custom-header.php on line 149
I have sent in a support ticket, but have not heard back. Thanks!!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for catching that! You are right, the header height change is in the launch.php file. I have fixed my notes. As for the fatal error, we just put a new version of the theme out, 1.3.4 which fixes that issue.
Great theme but I’m having problems with the RSS feed social media button. I put in the link – http://feeds.feedburner.com/worldoffinance/eGVt and it somehow adds the word test behind it like this http://feeds.feedburner.com/worldoffinance/eGVttest and it won’t work
How do I fix this? Thanks again for the theme. Great design work 
Hi,
This has been fixed with the latest version, please update and let us know if this still happens.
All the best
Hi there,
When I first installed your theme the Google map widget was working fine, but when I tried to install the latest version using this page I have only seen grey squares. The Map doesn’t seem to load. Do you know what has happened and how to fix this? Love your work!
With kind regards, Menno
Hi Menno,
Thank you very much for your support!
There is currently a bug with the widget that breaks after 11 results, so you’ll need to set the widget to display at the most 11 results for now. You can do this in the widget settings in the backend.
We are working to fix the limit issue.
Thanks again for your support
Embedded YouTube video seems to work fine on a Post, however it isn’t displaying on the Home page. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
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!
Hi, I tried to change the header and footer images. The footer is all right, but when I click on “header”, it shows this message:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_uploaded_header_images() in E:\home\editoraleon\Web\site\wp-content\themes\travel-blogger\lib\classes\custom-header.php on line 160
Please, let me know that is wrong. I like this theme, and I don’t want to change it…
Regards,
Raissa
Hi Raissa,
That issue has been fixed with the latest version, please download and install it and this problem will go away.
My fb “like” button seems to have disappeared despite still being present in the code. Is there something that could be blocking it?
looks like it’s back! i hope everything is running smoothly now?

There are plenty of plugins you can find for that. Go to “Plugins > Add New” and use the search bar there to find the best one for you.
Hi,
Your travel theme is awesome ! I would like to know if there is any way to delete post comment box preview in homepage ? So the homepage will only preview the post without the comment box beside every recent post displayed.
Thanks
Our theme currently does not have a control to get rid of comment box on the preview, but we are considering adding that option.
