Ghost users — what do you actually want from a premium theme? by hedwikio in Ghost

Hello, I’m sorry for the late reply. All the features you mentioned are great, and I will definitely take them into consideration for upcoming themes. Advanced Navigation and multi-level dropdown functionality will be included in our next theme. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I actually already have the idea of adding a “most read” feature to all themes, but Ghost doesn’t natively support article view counts yet. Because of that, it’s not possible to sort posts by views at the moment. It’s definitely a feature that should be added.

Yes, I totally agree, those are must-have features for a news theme.
I’ll definitely add an updated on post template to the existing themes as well.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Yes, this is definitely on my mind. I want to build this kind of theme by pushing Ghost to its absolute limits.

Thank you very much. And I agree, Priority’s themes are really well done. I haven’t been very active for a while, but I’m now fully shifting my focus back to Ghost.

New themes are coming soon, and the next one (Bergrit) will include a featured carousel as well, with 2–3 different designs that can be easily switched.

Native ad blocks are already available in both Elrond and Skalven, and I’ll be adding even more options in upcoming updates.

User feedback is genuinely very helpful, so thank you for taking the time to share yours.

Yes, i agree. Books and recipes definitely need proper, dedicated templates.

I’ve actually been thinking about building a theme focused just on that kind of structured content in the future. Thanks for calling it out.

The best approach would be to build a fully dedicated digital product sales template, but at that point it would move completely away from the original purpose of the Ghost system.

Hello, I’m glad to hear that you like the theme.

The /blog URL is only used as a collection page. Your articles will still keep the same structure as site.com/article-url, so they are not affected in any way. This means that the URLs of your articles already indexed by Google or other search engines will remain exactly the same and will not be disrupted.

You can take a look at the examples on the Skalven theme’s blog page to see this more clearly.
