Templates and menus

Post layouts

In the post editor, click the Post settings icon (top right) and choose a Template.

• Default: the title above the feature image.
• Post cover: a full-screen feature image with the title on top.
• Post split: the feature image beside the title.

Page templates

• Authors: a directory of every author.
• Tags: a directory of every tag, shown as topic cards.
• Subscribe: a sign-up page.

Create a page, click the Page settings icon (top right) and choose the Template.

Authors and Topics pages

Stretch can show a page listing every author (/authors/) and every topic (/tags/). To turn them on, upload a small routes file to Ghost.

Download routes.yaml

1. Download the file with the button above. It's already named routes.yaml. (It's also in the Stretch zip as routes.yaml.example.)
2. Back up your current routes: in Ghost Admin, go to Settings → Labs and click Open. Next to Routes, click Download current routes.
3. Upload the new file: in the same place, click Upload routes file and choose routes.yaml.
4. Create two pages with the slugs authors and tags. Give them a title; the content can be empty. Set the slug in Page settings → Page URL.

Already changed your routes before? Don't replace your file. Copy just the /authors/ and /tags/ lines from the new file into your own, then upload that.

Dropdown menus

In Settings → Navigation (Primary tab), start a label with a dash and it becomes a dropdown item under the one above it.

About becomes a dropdown with Team and Contact. The footer shows a flat list without the dashes.
