The improved header card in the editor now gives you even more power and flexibility to create beautiful pages and posts.

Now with new layouts including small, wide, full, and side-by-side, you can create drastically different headers for your content.

Full-width header cards are also stackable now, allowing you to build dynamic landing pages, like this:

For those using our new Beta Editor, it's now possible to remove the title and feature image from any page you're building in Ghost — so you can make your pages look radically different, no coding required.

To hide the title and feature image from a page, all you need to do is click the toggle in the page settings:

Once that's done, you can use a combination of dynamic cards in the editor to make your landing page look the part, with headers, calls-to-action to attract new signups, images, toggles, copy, and more!

Here's some examples of what's possible:

For those using the new Ghost Editor (beta), we've just released a brand new editor card that gives you new ways to grow your audience across your publication.

Following on from the release of embeddable signup forms that gives you the tools to embed signup forms anywhere on the web, the new Signup card allows you to do the very same thing from your Ghost publication, without ever needing to leave the editor.

Signup cards are directly integrated with Ghost memberships so they'll be shown when it makes sense, and hidden when it doesn't. These forms will only be seen by logged out visitors on your site, making sure your existing members are never confused.

Adding a new signup form

To get started, select the Signup card from the + card menu, or by typing / on a new line. Click on any text within the card and start typing to edit the copy, then use the customizable card editor to choose your layout, alignment, background color or image, button color and text, and add labels to track how many new members your form attracts.

Forms to suit your brand

Whether you're attracting new members from a published post, a landing page, or your about page, the signup form has got you covered with customization options that allow you to style your form however you need.

Here are some examples of how to make your signup cards look the part:

Ghost(Pro) users can log in and start enjoying the signup card right away with the new Ghost editor (beta) enabled.

If you're a developer, self-hosting Ghost, you'll need to update to the latest version to get access to everything that's new.

Start growing your audience from anywhere on the web, using the new embeddable signup forms. It's now even easier attract new subscribers from any website, while keeping Ghost as the hub for your memberships.

Branded

Include your logo, publication name, and description in your signup form, and optionally select a custom background color to fully promote your brand.

Minimal

If you prefer to keep it simple, use the minimal form to add a subscribe bar to any site.

Both forms allow you to assign labels at signup, so you can keep track of how much audience growth comes from each embedded form.

To get started, head to Settings → Membership, select a layout, and color, apply your labels, then simply copy the embed code for use anywhere on the web, like this:

By popular demand, we’ve introduced translatable components for the membership and email features in Ghost.

Previously: Your entire site is in Spanish, but the Portal signup UI and login emails are in English.

Now: Show those elements in your chosen language so your members have a consistent experience.

The following areas of Ghost can now be translated:

• Portal — the member signup, signin, and account management experience.
• System emails — the signup/login emails sent to members.
• Injected theme components — for example, “You need to be a paid member to read this post”.

Thanks to our generous open-source community, we already support 33 languages and counting 🎉

Turn translations on for your publication

To take Portal translations for a spin, enable the feature from the Labs menu, and ensure you have set the correct publication language from the General settings page. If your language is supported, you'll see translated content across the membership features of your site.

Call for translators

Want to help expand the number of translations available in Ghost? We’ve put together a complete tutorial for anyone who wants to get involved by adding new translations, or improving existing ones:

You can see which languages have already been added on GitHub, listed by locale codes. Read more and get community support on our forum.

We just released the beta version of the latest iteration of the Ghost editor. Over the past few months, our team has been working hard on rebuilding our editor from the ground up using new technology that will help pave the way for the future.

The good news: It’s the same editor you know and love with all of the same functionality and dynamic cards.

The even better news: The new editor has allowed us to introduce additional brand-new features that you can start using today.

Image editing

Ever dropped an image into your content and wished you could quickly make a few tweaks to make it pop, or crop it slightly? Well now you can, with the new image editing features inside Ghost, thanks to our friends at Pintura.

When adding any image or feature image to a post, click the image edit button to get access to the ability to:

• Rotate, flip, and crop
• Apply filters and effects
• Finetune the exposure, brightness, contrast, clarity, and more
• Redact sensitive information with a blur tool
• Add annotations like arrows, lines, or text
• Add a frame to the image
• Add stickers by uploading any image

Post history

The new editor now provides a helpful post history of each time your post was edited, saved, and updated.

You can find post history in the settings menu from any post in the editor, and click on each revision to return to that version of the post. If you need to revert to a previous version for any reason, all you need to do is click Restore 🪄

Bookmarker extension

For many publishers, curating inspiration and reference points from around the web is a fundamental part of the creative process. To help speed this process up, we built a brand new Chrome extension called the Ghost Bookmarker.

With the Ghost Bookmarker installed, you can send links from anywhere on the web into a draft in Ghost as a bookmark card, along with optional notes. Once the post is published, bookmarked links will be added to a new draft.

Once you add a link to Ghost, you can continue reading and browsing, and find your saved bookmarks later in a draft post. It's great for creating roundup newsletters and aggregating stories that you've been reading.

To get started, follow the steps below to turn on the beta of the new Ghost editor, and install the Chrome extension here:

How to enable the new editor (beta)

To access the beta version of the new Ghost editor, along with all of the latest features it offers, log in to your site’s admin and turn the beta on from the Labs page in Ghost Admin

Ghost(Pro) users can log in and opt into the beta right away. If you're a developer, self-hosting Ghost, you'll need to update to the latest version first.

All you need to do is right-click on a post to open the edit menu and select Duplicate.

Share big stories, special offers, or breaking news at the top of your site with the new announcement bar feature.

To add an announcement to every page of your site, go to Settings → Announcement bar and add your announcement copy, pick a background color, and select the visibility of your announcement:

The visibility options allow you to share different types of announcements based on what makes sense for your audience. For example:

• Highlight breaking news for everyone on your site
• Share a special offer for your paid tiers just with new visitors and free members
• Exclusively invite your paid members to join your community

Announcements can be removed at any time by either removing the message or toggling off visibility for everyone in your settings and hitting Save.

Ghost now allows you to easily export all of the analytics associated with your posts, so that you can perform deeper analysis of your content.

Post analytics exports include all available information for each of your published posts in a CSV format, making it easy to analyze your data in the spreadsheet tool of your choice. This allows you to slice and dice the data in any way that you see fit, and gain deeper insight into how your content is performing 📊

To get an export of your post metrics, all you need to do is navigate to Settings → Analytics and click Export post analytics:

Now you can do things like:

• Filter your content by tag, access level, or authors to analyze different segments of your content independently
• Find out what posts drive the most growth with data on how many free signups and paid subscriptions your posts have converted
• Discover what content resonates and see which posts received the most positive feedback from your audience
• Dig into email stats and filter posts by the highest (or lowest) open rates and click-through rates.

Encourage reader engagement by sharing your latest posts in each newsletter issue!

The new latest posts feature automatically adds the latest three published posts to the bottom of your newsletters, so you can invite subscribers to explore more of your content and encourage them to visit your site as logged-in members.

If email is the primary way you interact with your audience but you have lots of published content on your site, this new feature is a perfect fit to increase engagement and click-through rates 📊

Now all you have to do is bring the juicy content!

Be more transparent with your audience using the new subscription details feature and make sure your readers understand why they are receiving emails from you!

Now you can add personalized subscription information at the bottom of each newsletter, so your members can see what email address they subscribed with, the date they subscribed, and the renewal date for paid members.

This helps promote trust with your audience and manages their expectations:

• Avoid spam reports by reminding readers why they're getting emails from you
• Reduce support by reminding paid members what they're paying for, and how to manage their subscription

All you need to do is turn the feature on in your email settings:

Invite readers to engage with your work directly from your newsletter with the new comment call to action in emails.

Developing a deeper relationship with your audience is essential to building an independent publishing business. Enabling comments on your posts encourages your readers to get involved in the conversation, and now they can dive in even if they're reading your content in their inbox.

When a reader clicks the comment link in your emails, they'll be directed to the comments section of the post on your site. This feature is switched on by default for sites with comments enabled and can be toggled off in the newsletter settings.

By popular demand, we made it possible to remove the post title and author info from email newsletters in Ghost, giving you more control over the types of emails you can deliver to your audience.  

Now you can send different kinds of emails that look the part, such as:

Simple emails

Need an email to look more like a personal letter? No problem! Send quick notes, informal emails, or survey invites.

Announcements or marketing emails

Promote your paid subscriptions and special offers, or send any kind of announcement. (Pro tip: Header cards are great for this).

Roundup emails

Share a roundup of your latest posts or curated articles from around the web.
