Hue – Changelog

Theme version: 1.1.0 — 31 May 2022 Documentation

⚑ Back Up Your Current Theme First ⚑

Please backup your current theme before updating to a new version.

Log in to your Ghost admin
Go to Settings > Design > Change theme > Advanced
Download your active theme

Theme Updating

If you made no changes to your current theme template files, files that end with `.hbs` extension, download the latest theme version and upload it to your website—no need to worry about updating the files in the following steps.

First, download the new theme version from the theme update email. If you lost the email or the download link, click here for more details.

To update your current theme, copy and replace the Changed Files below from the new theme version to your theme.

In case of any listed Deleted Files, safely remove the files from your theme.

If any New Files are listed, copy the files to your theme with the same file path.

Copying a file from the new version to your theme will override your file.

Redo your customizations only if that file receives an update.

If you did CSS customizations in Code Injection, there is no need to worry about these unless I mention any CSS changes.

Once finished, zip your theme files, and upload the final zip file to your Ghost website.

Watch the following short video for a quick tutorial.

I always recommend updating your theme to the latest theme version to avoid future Ghost compatibility and API depreciation issues. Also, it will be easier to update to future theme updates, too.

If you missed updating a version, for example, your current theme is 1.0.0, and the latest one is 1.0.2, does it mean you need the middle 1.0.1 version to update your current version? No. Instead, use the newest version (1.0.2) as a base for the 1.0.1 changelog. The most recent version has the latest updated files. So, go through the 1.0.1 changelog, and apply the file changes from 1.0.2.

Troubleshooting

In case you encounter any issue while updating the theme, do/double-check the following:

Deactivate and activate the theme again
Upload the new/fresh theme version to see if the problem is from your theme or the new version
Restart Ghost
Make sure you uploaded the routes.yaml file if it is updated in the new theme version
Make sure you updated all the mentioned files in the changelog below

VERSION - 1.1.0: Release on 31 May 2022

New

Ghost 5.0 support
Hue is now using the Ghost Portal and the new Tiers for membership. Clicking the header Login and Subscribe links will show up the Portal instead of going to the Login or Subscribe pages.

Updated Ghost Deploy Action version

(Copy all the `/locales/` folder and override your current theme one.)

The .github/workflows/deploy-theme.yml file is for the GitHub Deploy Action. It is part of the theme, but since the folder starts with a dot ( .github ) it might be hidden on your computer. No worries if you are not using GitHub for theme deployment.)

------------  Version: 1.0.9 — 22 March 2021  ------------

❗ Please update to Ghost 4 first and then apply this version.

[+] New: Ghost 4.0 Support
    - Fixing all compatibility issues
    - Support for the new Public Review content card
[+] Update: The theme is now using Portal notifications instead of the
built-in ones.
In Ghost 4.0, membership becomes an essential part of Ghost and no longer
a beta feature. Accordingly, the login/subscribe, and all membership browser
notifications come from Portal whether Portal is enabled or not.
So, when a person logins to the website, the theme will show a message,
and Portal will show one. Using Portal notifications ensures all notification
messages will be up to date with Ghost membership updates, eliminate the
conflict while login in, subscribe, or update a person’s information.



[+] Update: The paid membership plans are now public at /subscribe/,
so a person can choose from them directly without subscribing first.
Make sure to re-upload the updated routes.yaml file.

If you want to show only a subscribe form, open theme file partials/header.hbs
and on line 24 change /subscribe/ to /signup/.

On the posting page, the call to action box button will direct to the
subscribe page with membership plans if the post is Paid and direct to the
/signup/ page if the post is for Members only.
