Learn Ghost Theme

Table of Contents

The Learn Ghost Theme includes special custom settings that allow you to adjust the appearance and functionality of your site directly from the Ghost Admin Panel.
These options give you full control over colors, layouts, cards, headers, and additional theme features—without editing any code.

You can find these options inside:
Ghost Admin → Settings → Design → Site-wide Settings

Color Settings

These settings let you align the theme with your brand identity. All color pickers support HEX codes, so you can match your exact design palette.

  • Body Text Color
    Default: #575961
    Defines the default color of all text in body content, including paragraphs and list items.
    Tip: Use a darker gray for better readability instead of pure black.

  • Heading Text Color
    Default: #022249
    Controls the color of headings (h1, h2, h3, etc.).
    Tip: Use your brand’s primary color to make headings stand out.

  • Border Color
    Default: #e5e7eb
    Applies to borders around cards, forms, and dividers.
    Tip: Keep this neutral (light gray) for a clean look, or switch to brand tones for more emphasis.

  • Light Gray Color
    Default: #f6f5f5
    Used for subtle background areas, section separators, and muted highlights.
    Tip: Ideal for section blocks behind testimonials, feature grids, or course previews.

  • Brand Color Light
    Default: #e6eefd
    A lighter accent version of your brand color, used on buttons, highlights, and hover effects.
    Tip: Pair this with your main brand color for consistent CTAs.

Homepage Settings

These settings let you control special sections on the homepage layout.

  • Course Tag Slug 1
    Default: android
    The first tag used to display a categorized block of courses on the homepage.
    Example: If you enter design, all posts/courses tagged with design will appear here.

  • Course Tag Slug 2
    Default: web-development
    The second tag for another categorized block of courses.
    Example: Use this for popular topics like marketing or seo.

  • Enable Categorized Course Section
    Default: true
    Turns the categorized course blocks on or off.

  • Enable Latest Course Section
    Default: false
    Displays the most recently published courses on the homepage.
    Great for keeping your site fresh if you publish often.

Post Settings

These settings define how blog posts appear and behave.

  • Post Share Enabled
    Default: true
    Shows or hides social media share buttons at the bottom of each post.
    Disable if you want a distraction-free reading experience.

  • Post Header Style
    Options:

    • No Image → Text-only header
    • Image on Right → Title on left, feature image on right
    • Image on Left → Title on right, feature image on left
    • Image on Top → Feature image above the title
      Default: Image on Right
      Tip: Use No Image for minimal layouts, or Image on Top for a more blog-like feel.

Page & Lesson Settings

These settings apply to static pages, course lessons, and course detail pages.

  • Page Header Style
    Options: No Image, Image on Right, Image on Left
    Default: Image on Right
    Controls how static page headers (like About, Contact, etc.) are displayed.

  • Lesson Header Style
    Options: Image on Right, Image on Left, Header Inside Content
    Default: Image on Right
    Defines how lesson pages display their titles and media.
    Tip: Use “Header Inside Content” for a tighter layout when lessons are short.

  • Course Header Style
    Options: Image on Right, Image on Left
    Default: Image on Right
    Defines how the main course detail page header is displayed.
    Tip: Keep consistency across all courses for a professional look.

Card Styles

Control the design of the “cards” used across your site for courses and posts.

  • Choose Post Card Style
    Options: Style 1, Style 2, Style 3
    Default: Style 1
    Changes the layout of blog post previews (image orientation, metadata placement, etc.).

  • Choose Course Card Style
    Options: Style 1, Style 2
    Default: Style 1
    Changes the layout of course previews.
    Tip: Try different styles to see which makes your course catalog more engaging.

Layout & Design

  • Disable Rounded Corners
    Default: false
    If enabled, all rounded corners (on buttons, cards, images) will be removed.
    Tip: Use this if you prefer a sharp, modern design instead of a soft, rounded look.
  • Footer Copyright
    Default: All Rights Reserved
    The text displayed at the bottom of every page.
    Tip: Replace with your brand name, e.g. © 2025 Learn Ghost. All Rights Reserved.
