I really like this theme a LOT but the blog function is not my favorite. The blog section doesn't display all blogs and the Blog menu only leads to one blog at a time which is not ideal for businesses that like to implement this feature. I also noticed that the Blog page is one-sided? The blog only displays on one side of the page so all of the blogs are sitting on the left side of the page.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. You can check out an app such as PageFly (https://bit.ly/4dSLbcO) which is free and allows you to customize a blog page using their app. You can also look into hiring a developer from the Partner Marketplace (https://bit.ly/3Idxo0a), if you need to fully integrate a customized blog page into your theme's code.

Hi... I was sure I know something about how to create a website ... at least basics. But I can not do 2 simple modifications: 1. can not add payment with credit cards (it is active in my payment options) - I just see paypal and can not add another payment option 2. when I add new section - I can not change order between them - it is very much frustraiting

Hey there, it's possible that your payment icons are not showing if you are using a third party payment provider. This is something that we can help with, just reach out to our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look. We can also help you on how to rearrange sections in the theme editor, here is a help document that explains this too (https://bit.ly/45nccjz).

Fantastic theme with more features than you might need. Easy to modify and looks great! Could use some more flexibility with how videos appear on the page. Parallax options for blocks/photos would also be nice.

Reply from Shopify Jan 2, 2023

Hi, happy new year! Thanks for this review, glad to hear the theme is working for you. You might be able to leverage the Collage section for more video options, but we'd love to hear your suggestions more in-depth. Please feel free to reach out with your feedback and a Support Advisor will be happy to capture it for our engineers (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA)

Version 3.0.1 June 23, 2022

Taste 3.0.1 introduces a new cart drawer feature, additional customization options on the rich text section, and various fixes and enhancements.

Added

  • Important: We introduced new settings to the header section to control top and bottom section padding. This update may cause a visual change to your header. This can be modified by adjusting the bottom padding value.
  • We introduced a new theme setting that allows you to control what happens when an item is added to cart. Choose between a cart drawer, a pop-up notification, or linking directly to the cart page.
  • The rich text section is now more flexible. You can now customize the desktop content position, the content alignment, the size and formatting of headings, and the number of blocks added to the section.

Changed

  • Important: We moved “Show vendor” and “Enable cart note” checkboxes from the cart template to the theme settings under the heading “Cart”. This update may cause a visual change to your cart. This can be modified by adjusting the checkboxes in the theme settings.

Fixes and improvements

  • On larger screen sizes, the quick add modal included unnecessary empty space. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue where the product media gallery sometimes hid the subsequent media when larger values of horizontal grid space were used.
  • The product media gallery included unnecessary empty space between the product media and the gallery controls. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue where the collapsible row blocks in the collapsible content section were missing padding.
  • We fixed an issue where hiding the background of the content container on the slideshow section would not work if a gradient was set as the background color.
  • The recaptcha badge was not visible on the contact form. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue where adding a menu block to the footer required a heading to display.
  • The experience of navigating paginated pages when using a screen reader or keyboard is improved.
  • We added a warning to the password footer link opening in a new tab, improving its accessibility.

Version 2.0.0 April 19, 2022

Taste v2.0.0 introduces new ways to customize the look and feel of your store with a vertical product filter layout, mega menu header style, and a quick add button option. This update also features fixes and improvements, including several accessibility enhancements.

Added

  • Important: We’ve introduced a new vertical product filter layout so you can further customize your store’s filters. You’ll find this setting in the collection and search templates. This update may cause a visual change to your theme. If you previously selected the “Collapse on desktop” checkbox, your filter layout will be changed to horizontal, which is the new default. If you’d like to achieve the collapsed style, select “Drawer” from the “Desktop filter layout” dropdown.
  • Important: You can now control the number of desktop and mobile grid columns in the collections list page, giving you more options to express your brand’s look and feel. This update may cause a layout change because columns will no longer automatically adjust to fill the available screen width. This can be modified by adjusting the number of columns setting.
  • We’ve added the ability to choose a mega menu style in the header section, providing better support for menus with many items.
  • You can now enable a quick add button on your product cards, allowing your customers to quickly add items to their cart. Find this setting in the collection template and the featured collection section.
  • The featured collection section is now more flexible. You can control the description, text styles, button styles, and layout in the section settings.
  • You can now adjust how many products to show in the product recommendations section, allowing you more control over the layout of your store.
  • The theme’s product filtering functionality now supports boolean (true or false) custom filters.

Fixes and improvements

  • Gradients will now be applied more predictably across the theme.
  • In some cases, the maximum price wasn’t showing on the price filter. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue where navigation arrows were unexpectedly appearing on product pages.
  • The experience of navigating the slideshow section when using a screen reader or keyboard is improved.
  • We fixed an issue where unintended mobile menu items were being discovered by screen readers.
  • We removed an empty heading in the contact form, improving its accessibility.
  • There was an issue with vendor name visibility on the cart page that is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue where the email signup text on the password page sometimes wasn’t visible.
  • The “Continue shopping” button on the gift card page wasn’t working as expected. This is now fixed.
  • The Shop Pay installments text will now be center aligned when there is no accompanying product media.
  • There were some spacing inconsistencies in the product media gallery. This is now fixed
  • Empty columns in the multicolumn section were adding unnecessary vertical space. This is now fixed.
  • We’re now providing improved information on how to create meaningful alt text in the video section.
  • We fixed an issue with making products full width on featured collections.

Removed

  • In the collection and search templates, the “Collapse on desktop” checkbox has been removed from the filtering and sorting settings. If you’d like to achieve the collapsed style, select “Drawer” from the “Desktop filter layout” dropdown.
