Product updates

Changelog

The latest features, improvements, and fixes from the team.

Theme customization

  • Every component accepts a root class, with named styling parameters for inner elements where applicable. Values remain scoped to the caller through Ghost’s nested helpers.
  • Featured blocks can be repeated without a fixed heading ID. Visual defaults live in component stylesheets so they don’t compete with utility overrides.
  • Pricing text inherits the card’s foreground. Examples show how to pair custom background and text colors in light and dark modes.

Per-instance styling was first prepared as 1.3.0 in Git. There was no separate 1.3.0 npm release; those changes are included here.

Components

  • Added related posts, previous/next post navigation, a public tag list, and a table of contents with unique anchors and keyboard focus handling.
  • Added button, card, badge, input, and alert primitives, plus post grid, author list, tag grid, and archive header blocks.
  • Missing dependencies install first; existing dependency edits are preserved. Native Ghost behavior and both styling systems are covered by regression tests.

CLI

  • Batch add accepts multiple names. Reinstall prompts pause the spinner and let you keep one component without canceling the rest. Use --skip-existing to preserve files without prompts.
  • Registry requests have a deadline, including while reading their bodies.
  • ghostcn diff reports upstream and local changes without rewriting theme files.
  • ghostcn playground previews installed partials with synthetic content and provides copyable Handlebars usage.

Updating a theme

An npm update does not change copied component files. Commit your theme and review with ghostcn diff. Merge the changes you want before deliberately replacing a partial or stylesheet. Keep .ghostcn/installed.json to retain baselines.

Styling

  • Tailwind component defaults are layered so ordinary utilities can override them. Generated Tailwind themes expose semantic colors and Ghost light, dark, and OS-following modes.
  • Vanilla CSS themes are standalone and load theme-owned overrides after component defaults.
  • Generated themes keep Ghost’s comments iframe canvas transparent in dark mode.

Ghost integration

  • Pricing uses real public tiers, currencies, prices, benefits, and tier-specific Portal links.
  • Member components respect signup and access settings. Newsletter forms hand off to Portal when consent is required.
  • Generated themes use a single custom paywall without changing Ghost’s access checks.

Tooling

  • Added offline doctor checks and runtime-only ZIP packaging with pack.
  • Generated themes include CSS watch, gscan validation, and ZIP scripts.
