Question 1

How do I connect the Ovidius subscription form to ConvertKit?

Accepted Answer

Update the form action URL and hidden fields in site-config.ts to match ConvertKit's endpoint, as the theme supports custom form configurations for email services like Mailchimp or Formspree.

Question 2

Ovidius vs Dante: which Astro theme is better for a personal blog?

Accepted Answer

Ovidius is more minimal and content-focused for blogs, while Dante offers portfolio features; choose Ovidius if you prioritize a sleek, reading-oriented design without extra complexity.

Question 3

Can I use Ovidius with a headless CMS like Sanity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires integrating Astro's content collections with external APIs, as Ovidius defaults to local Markdown/MDX files and doesn't include pre-built CMS connectors.

Question 4

How to add a comments system to Ovidius blog posts?

Accepted Answer

You need to manually integrate a service like Disqus or Giscus by modifying the post layout component, since the theme doesn't include comments out of the box.

Question 5

Does Ovidius support internationalization (i18n) for multi-language blogs?

Accepted Answer

No, the theme doesn't mention i18n support; implementing it would require custom routing and content structuring, which isn't covered in the configuration.

Question 6

How to change the color scheme in Ovidius without breaking the design?

Accepted Answer

Use Tailwind CSS utilities in the site-config.ts or component files, as the theme relies on Tailwind for styling, but extensive changes may need familiarity with its utility classes.
