👋 Theme Editing & Tools
Edit the theme files mentioned here with your text editor of choice. For example, you can use Visual Studio Code ↗ or Sublime Text ↗.
Once you finish making your changes, zip the theme files, and upload the final zip file to your Ghost website.
Watch the following short video for a quick tutorial.
Are you looking for Ghost hosting? I recommend Ghost(Pro) ↗.

Theme Installation
The first step is to unzip the downloaded package. Inside the new directory melaka, you will find the zipped theme and a documentation file. Follow these steps to upload the theme to your blog:
- Log in to your Ghost website admin (example.com/ghost).
- Click Design in the left-side menu.
- Scroll down to the INSTALLED THEMES section.
- Click Upload a theme.
- Select the theme file (melaka.zip).
- Once uploaded, click Activate now to activate the theme immediately. If you want to activate it later, click Close.
Upload the routes.yaml File (Required)
The routes.yaml file is required for member sign up, and subscription flows.
To upload the file, follow these steps:
- Unzip the
melaka.ziptheme file. - Go to the Labs page in Ghost admin (
/#/settings/labs). - Scroll down to the Routes section and click the Upload routes YAML button.
- Select and upload the
routes.yamlfile inside the theme zip file.
Note: upload routes.yaml after uploading the theme zip
There will already be a default routes.yaml file uploaded to Ghost. You need to upload your theme’s routes.yaml to override the default.
Do this separately after uploading your theme’s zip file.
Create a New Content API Key (Required)
To enable certain features, like Search, you’ll need to create a new Content API Key. Follow these steps to create your key.
In the left-side menu of your Ghost admin, click Integrations then + Add custom integration.
Give the new integration a name, like “Search”, and click Create.
A new content API Key will be created. When you hover over it, a Copy button will appear. Click the button to copy the key to the clipboard.
Next, click Code injection from the left-side admin menu.
After replacing the API_KEY value with your API Key, add the following code to the Site Header box:
<script>
var search_api_key = 'API_KEY';
</script>
It should look like this:
Click Save.
Members / Subscriptions
Make sure to Upload the routes.yaml file.
Enable subscribers by checking the Enable members checkbox on the Labs page in your Ghost admin panel.
Once enabled, different parts of the theme will appear on the website:
- Login In and Subscribe buttons in the header
- Footer subscription form
- A post subscription form
- If the post is set to Members Only, a Call to Action section on the Post page to encourage visitors to subscribe
If the user is already logged in, all the forms will be hidden automatically.
Edit Plans Features
To edit each plan features, edit the partials/signup-plans.hbs file.
Members / Subscriptions Theme Files
To edit the /signup page, you can edit the members/signup.hbs file.
The members/signin.hbs file for the /signin page.
The members/account.hbs file for the /account page.
Changing the Subscribe Forms Behavior
You can find many subscription forms in different places like Footer and Post page for example. These forms will just subscribe the user without redirecting them to the payment plan. However, the form in the /signup page will subscribe the user and also direct to the payment page.
Until here, we have two new use cases.
1. Make the /signup page form to enable free subscription
You can change this behavior from members/signup.hbs file by changing data-members-form='signup' to data-members-form='subscribe' ( line 37).
2. Make all forms have the same flow as the /signup page form
To do this, open the partials/subscribe-form.hbs file and change data-members-form='subscribe' to data-members-form='signup' ( line 1).
You can read more about this at the Ghost official documentation Extending forms.
Remove ‘Log in’ and ‘Subscribe’ from Header
To remove Log in and Subscribe from the header, open the partials/header.hbs file and remove lines 29 to 37. This will also remove the Account and Logout links.
Membership Troubleshooting Tips
If for any reason the subscribe form does not work, or there is an error message, the following tips might help:
If you are self-hosting your website, make sure to set up the mail config. After doing that, restart your Ghost server.
The website config URL should match the URL used to access the website, as described in the Ghost docs.
Enter the URL that is used to access your publication. If using a subpath, enter the full path, https://example.com/blog/. If using SSL, always enter the URL with https://..
For more information about Members, connecting Stripe, and setting the package price, check the official Ghost documentation.
Dark Mode
The dark mode is automatically activated based on the Operating System mode. Also, the user can switch between dark and light mode from the header button.
Add Different Logo Images for Light and Dark Modes
1. Add the Logo Files to the Theme
In your theme, add two different logo files inside the /assets folder, one for light mode and the other for the dark mode. Please name each file as follows:
light-logo.pngto be visible for light mode.dark-logo.pngto be visible for dark mode.
2. Change header.hbs file
Open the partials/header.hbs theme file and replace lines from 10 to 16 with the following code snippet.
<a href='{{ @site.url }}' class='c-logo'>
<span class='u-hidden-visually'>{{ @site.title }}</span>
</a>
3. Add Custom CSS Code
Using Ghost Code Injection admin tool, add the following CSS code to the Site Header section.
<style>
:root {
--logo-image: url('/assets/light-logo.png');
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root:not([data-user-color-scheme]) {
--logo-image: url('/assets/dark-logo.png');
}
}
[data-user-color-scheme='dark'] {
--logo-image: url('/assets/dark-logo.png');
}
.c-logo {
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
display: block;
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: var(--logo-image);
}
</style>
Note
- You might want to change the logo width and height by changing the value of
48pxto match your logo preference and to get the best result. - If the logo image has a large white space around it, trim that space with a photo editing app for better results.
- You will probably need to remove the browser cache for things to take effect.
- This way will ignore the logo uploaded from the Ghost admin and the theme now will use the logos located in the theme.
Disable Dark Mode
To disable Dark Mode, do the following steps.
- Make sure that you run the Theme Development mode.
- After you run gulp, open the
assets/sass/settings/__all.scssfile and remove line8(@import 'colors-dark';) - Remove the Header Dark Mode Switch Button
Disable Light Mode
To disable the Light Mode and make Dark Mode the default, do the following steps.
- Make sure that you run the Theme Development mode.
- After you run gulp, open the
assets/sass/settings/__all.scssfile and remove line7(@import 'colors';) - Open the
assets/sass/settings/_colors-dark.scssfile and replace the file content with the following code.
:root {
--color-brand: #51bbf6;
--color-white: #FFFFFF;
--color-dark: #010101;
--color-text: #FFFFFF;
--color-gray: #E5EFF5;
--color-error: #ED5F74;
--color-success: #1BA672;
--color-border: #383B40;
--color-border-dark: #383B40;
--bg-color: #1F2023;
--bg-gray: #27292D;
--bg-white: var(--color-white);
--bg-card: #27292D;
--bg-code-block: #F6F9FC;
--bg-code-inline: var(--bg-gray);
--color-code-inline: var(--color-text);
}
$light-mode: true !default;
$dark-mode: false !default;
Remove the Header Dark Mode Switch Button
If you want to remove the header dark mode switch button. Open the partials/header.hbs file and remove lines from 38 to 43;
Navigation
You can add, edit, delete, and reorder menu links on your Ghost blog in the NAVIGATION section (Admin > Settings > Design).
To include a static page on your navigation menu, follow these steps.
First, type the page’s name as you’d like it appear on your menu in the label field.
Next, click on the item’s URL. The blog URL will already be auto-populated. Add the page slug after the final /. When you’re satisfied with your page configurations, click the blue Save button to add the page to the navigation menu.
Secondary Navigation
Currently, the theme shows the Ghost Primary Navigation in both the header and footer.
To show the Secondary Navigation items in the footer section, open the theme partials/footer.hbs file and replace line 20 with the following line.
{{ navigation type='secondary' }}
That’s all you need to do.
Search
Make sure to create a new Content API Key.
The theme uses ghostHunter.
The search goes through the Post title and the content. It supports only Posts, not Pages.
The supported languages are German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Finnish, Dutch, Turkish, and Danish.
Pages
Manage pages for Tags, Authors, and Contact from the Pages section of Ghost admin.
Tags Page
Follow these steps to create the Tags page:
- From the Ghost admin Pages section, create a new page and give it a title, like “Tags”.
- From Page settings, select the Tags template.
- Publish the page.
- To add the page to the navigation, please check the Navigation section above.
Note for Self-hosters
If you are self-hosting your website, you may need to do a server restart. This should get the Tags option to show up in the Template dropdown.
Authors Page
To create the Authors page:
- Create a new page and give it a title, like “Authors”.
- From Page settings, select the Authors template.
- Publish the page
- To add the page to the navigation, please check the Navigation section above
Note for Self-hosters
If you are self-hosting your website, you may need to do a server restart. This should get the Authors option to show up in the Template dropdown.
Contact Page
To create the Contact page:
- Create a new Page and give it a title, like “Contact”.
- Add your content and the contact form code using FORMSPREE as a service. Please check the code example below.
- Publish the page.
- To add the page to the navigation, please check the Navigation section above.
<form action="https://formspree.io/your@email.com" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name">
<input type="email" name="_replyto" placeholder="Email">
<textarea name='message' placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<input class='c-btn' type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
For more information, check out How to Add a Contact Form to Your Ghost Blog.
Comments
The theme supports comments from Disqus, Commento and CommentBox.
Disqus
To enable Disqus as a comments system, open the partials/disqus.hbs file. Replace the aspirethemes-demos value with the ` disqus_shortname` variable to match your Disqus account shortname.
var disqus_shortname = 'aspirethemes-demos';
So, if your Disqus shortname is exampleone, the final code above should be:
var disqus_shortname = 'exampleone';
From the theme side, that’s all you need to set up Disqus. If you have any issues with comments not loading, make sure you have registered your website with Disqus (Step 1).
If you still have issues, check the Disqus troubleshooting guide.
Disable Disqus
To disable Disqus comments, open the post.hbs file and comment or delete the line containing the {{> disqus}} text (line 48).
Disable Disqus Recommendations
Checkout the Disqus Recommendations documentation.
Autoload Disqus
If you want to autoload Disqus without clicking the Comments button, open the partials/disqus.hbs file and replace the file content with the following code.
<div id='disqus_thread'></div>
<script>
var disqus_shortname = 'aspirethemes-demos'; // required: replace `aspirethemes-demos` with your Disqus shortname
// DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
var disqus_config = function () {
this.page.url ='{{url absolute="true"}}'
this.page.identifier = 'ghost-{{comment_id}}';
};
var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = 'https://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
</script>
CommentBox
To enable CommentBox as a comments system, open post.hbs file and replace line 48 replace with {{> commentbox}}.
The next step is to create a CommentBox account. From the dashboard, create a new project by filling your site information. You will then receive a Project ID.
Copy that Project ID, open the partials/commentbox.hbs file, and replace the my-project-id value with it. That’s it.
Commento
To enable Commento as a comments system, open the post.hbs file and replace line 48 with {{> commento}}.
The next step is to create a Commento account and register your domain with it.
Home Page Posts by Tag
With this feature, you can show posts at the home page by a specific tag. To do this, open the partials/index-tag-columns.hbs file and you fill find 2 code blocks, everyone looks like the following screenshot:
They are already configured with some tags but you will need to change them according to your own existed tags.
- Tag slug
- Tag slug
- Tag Name
Posts Per Page
You can control how many posts display per per page from the package.json file.
"config": {
"posts_per_page": 10
}
The theme default value is set to 10 posts per page.
Related Posts
If other posts share the same tags, related posts will be visible at the bottom of a post.
Google Analytics
To integrate Google Analytics, I recommend using the Google Analytics integration by Ghost.
Update Favicon
You can change the favicon in Ghost from Admin > General > PUBLICATION IDENTITY > Publication icon.
Responsive Tables
Responsive tables are required and essential for adding tabular content and allowing tables to be scrolled horizontally. You can make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a table with .responsive-table, for example:
<div class='responsive-table'>
<table>
...
</table>
</div>
Social Sharing Icons
You can customize and update a post’s social media sharing icons from the partials/share.hbs theme file.
Footer Social Media Icons
Footer social media links are placed in the partials/social-icons.hbs file.
Ghost supports adding Facebook and Twitter profile URLs from the admin panel. Go to General > Social accounts and add your URLs. This will update Facebook and Twitter URLs within the footer social media section.
For other social accounts, the theme uses Evil Icons to provide simple and clean icons. Here you can find a list of the social media icons to use:
<span data-icon='ei-sc-facebook' data-size='s'></span>
GitHub
<span data-icon='ei-sc-github' data-size='s'></span>
<span data-icon='ei-sc-instagram' data-size='s'></span>
<span data-icon='ei-sc-linkedin' data-size='s'></span>
Odnoklassniki
<span data-icon='ei-sc-odnoklassniki' data-size='s'></span>
<span data-icon='ei-sc-pinterest' data-size='s'></span>
Skype
<span data-icon='ei-sc-skype' data-size='s'></span>
SoundCloud
<span data-icon='ei-sc-soundcloud' data-size='s'></span>
Telegram
<span data-icon='ei-sc-telegram' data-size='s'></span>
Tumblr
<span data-icon='ei-sc-tumblr' data-size='s'></span>
<span data-icon='ei-sc-twitter' data-size='s'></span>
Vimeo
<span data-icon='ei-sc-vimeo' data-size='s'></span>
VK
<span data-icon='ei-sc-vk' data-size='s'></span>
Youtube
<span data-icon='ei-sc-youtube' data-size='s'></span>
As mentioned above, Ghosts supports adding only Twitter and Facebook links from the admin. But the theme comes with other social icons in the sidebar. Edit or update these in the partials/sidebar-social-icons.hbs file. For example, here’s the Instagram code block:
<li class='c-social-icons__item'>
<a href='#' aria-label='Instagram' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>
<span class='c-social-icons__icon' data-icon='ei-sc-instagram' data-size='s'></span>
</a>
</li>
The code above contains the ICON code from the above list and the social media link (a) within a list element (li).
Next, replace your Instagram full URL with the link href value. If your Instagram URL is:
https://www.instagram.com/ghost/
Then the new code will be:
<li class='c-social-icons__item'>
<a href='https://www.instagram.com/ghost/' aria-label='Instagram' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>
<span class='c-social-icons__icon' data-icon='ei-sc-instagram' data-size='s'></span>
</a>
</li>
If you want to remove Instagram altogether, you can delete all the code blocks, the li, a, and the icon.
Languages
Melaka ships with many languages already. But if you’d like to add another one, you’ll be able to do that too.
Theme Translation
Melaka supports Ghost i18n and comes with Arabic, German, Italian, Spanish, French Finnish, Portuguese Dutch, Turkish and Danish translation.
To use a language other than English, go to Admin > General > PUBLICATION INFO > Publication Language and enter the ISO Code.
arfor Arabicdafor Danishdefor Germanydufor Dutchenfor Englishesfor Spanishfifor Finnishfrfor Frenchitfor Italianptfor Portuguesetrfor Turkish
Add a New Language
To add a new language, follow these steps.
- Create a new file in the theme’s
localesfolder with the language ISO Code code. So, if the new language is Arabic, the new file name will bear.json. - Copy the
en.jsonfile content into your new file and start to translate, as shown in the following section. - Go to Admin > General > PUBLICATION INFO > Publication Language and enter the language code (
arin this example).
Edit a Translation
To improve or edit a translation in a specific available language, you can open the language file in the locales folder:
|____locales
| |____ar.json
| |____da.json
| |____de.json
| |____du.json
| |____en.json
| |____es.json
| |____fi.json
| |____fr.json
| |____it.json
| |____pt.json
| |____tr.json
For example, the German translation file looks like this:

}
Each line consists of a left key ("More Posts") and a right value ("Mehr Artikel").
The key is plain English that exists in all translation files and should not be changed. You should change only the value.
If you have any suggestions to improve a current translation or add a new language, please contact me.
RTL
RTL means right to left. Turning on RTL makes the theme readable for languages written from right to left, like Arabic or Hebrew.
To enable the RTL option, open the default.hbs file and change line 10 to {{> compiled/inline-css-rtl }}.
Save the file and upload the theme to your Ghost blog.
Syntax Highlighting
You can add a fenced code block by placing triple backticks ``` before and after the code block. For example:
```
pre {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
max-width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
```
Will produce the following gray look:
To highlight a code block, add the language alias like css or js to the code block. For example, the CSS code in the previous example will wrap between ```css and ``` as follows:
```css
pre {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
max-width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
```
This will produce the following colored look:
To add inline code, wrap the text between two backticks ` `.
Prism
Melaka ships with Prism.js, a lightweight, robust, and elegant syntax highlighter.
The initial Prism package includes some languages, like Markup, CSS, C-like, and JavaScript.
You can add support for more languages. For example, to add support for PHP, get the PHP component script from Prism CDN.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.13.0/components/prism-php.js"></script>
From the side admin menu, go to Code Injection and add the script to the Site Footer section. Be sure to click Save.
Theme Deploy with GitHub Actions
Melaka Documentation comes integrated with the Deploy Ghost Theme ↗ Github action.
I have written about this at How to Deploy Your Ghost Theme Using Github Actions ↗. All you need to do is follow steps 1 and 2.
Theme Development
If you are a developer and need to do heavy customization work, the theme uses Gulp to compile Sass and JavaScript. This improves the development flow and makes it much faster.
Note
Changing any hbs file, for example, the post.hbs file does not require being in development mode with gulp running. Just edit the file in your preferred editor and upload it.
First, make sure you have Node.js, npm, Gulp CLI, and Bower installed. Check My Current Setup.
Run the following command in the theme root directory to install npm and bower dependencies.
npm install
To start Gulp, run:
gulp
This will compile Sass and JavaScript files and start watching changes as you edit files.
Gulp will produce two files:
assets/js/app.min.js: The final main JavaScript filepartials/compiled/inline-css.hbs: The final CSS file
If you are working with Gulp, it’s recommended you avoid editing these files. Instead, do customizations in assets/sass for CSS or in assets/js/app.js JavaScript. This way, you can make sure the flow is going in the right direction and never lose any changes.
My Current Setup
In case you are wondering what my current environment set up is and which package versions I use, take a look at the following:
$ node -v
v10.16.0
$ npm -v
6.14.8
$ bower -v
1.8.8
$ gulp -v
CLI version: 2.2.0
Local version: 4.0.2
This environment works well for running Ghost and also for theme development.
I use macOS Big Sur.
Code Injection
Another choice for customization is to use the Ghost Code Injection settings in Ghost admin.
For a CSS example, you can use the following code in the Site Header section to change the logo color and font size.
<style>
.c-logo__link {
color: #4550E5;
font-size: 32px;
}
</style>
Watch the following short video about Ghost Code Injection, how it works, and how to use it.
Customize Images Height
If you want to customize the height of the images on the home page, can use the following CSS code.
<style>
.c-post-card__image-wrap {
padding-top: 120%;
}
</style>
The theme default value is 120%. So, you can increase or decraese this value as needed.
You can add the code in Ghost Code Injection section.
Customize Logo Size
If you are using an image as a logo (instead of the site name) and want to change the logo size, use the following code in Code Injection.
<style>
.c-logo__img {
max-height: 32px;
}
</style>
The default value is 32px, so you can increase this value to match your preference.
If the logo image has a large white space around it, trim that space with a photo editing app for better results.
Zip Theme Files
To create a zip file after your theme changes, you can use one of the following options.
Use one of the first two options if you are on a Theme Development mode.
1. Using the command line
zip -r melaka.zip melaka -x '*node_modules*' '*bower_components*'
This will exclude the node_modules and bower_components directories from the final zip file.
2. Using Gulp
If you are running gulp, you can type the gulp zip command to do this.
3. Using your computer program
You can compress it as a standard folder just like you do with any other folder on your computer. If you are on Mac, right-click on it to view the context menu. Then, click the “Compress” option.
Theme Update
You may be wondering: how can I update my theme to the latest theme version?
There are two choices:
- Keep your current theme and replace only the changed files from the new version. You can find the modified files on the theme page Changelog
- Use the latest version as a starting point and redo your theme changes and customizations
One way to reduce the need for redoing customizations is to use the Code Injection tool. This is very helpful for adding custom CSS and tracking code. Keeping your custom CSS code with Code Injection is always recommended.
