GhostSolo update (0.5.0)

GhostSolo is free and open-source Ghost blog theme. It is currently running on this blog. Find the latest information here or download the theme from Github.

Membership changes

Ghost has introduced a new way for blogs to implement membership which does not depend on the theme. I feel this is a much cleaner method than previously where themes had to implement individual membership pages and blogs had to write custom routes.yaml.

Portal signup form

Moving forward GhostSolo will only support using Portal for signups. This means the signup button from the header has been removed. The signup forms on the home page and footer however will stay.

Table of contents template

I have added a new post template to enable table of contents for longer posts. It will automatically look at the headings in your post and generate a table of contents on the right of the page.

To use the template, edit the settings of your post and look for templates.

Post settings

See this post for an example.
