Ghost 4

In Ghost 4 the Members feature is enabled by default, that means you don't have to do anything to enable the Newsletter form.

If you disable the Members feature, the Newsletter form will be removed automatically.

Ghost 3

To enable the newsletter on your site you must go to the Admin panel, click on the menu Labs and then enable the option Members.

The other options are irrelevant for the newsletter so don't worry about them.

If for any reason you wish to remove the newsletter form follow the steps below:

  1. Head to the Ghost Admin and click the settings button.

  2. Head to the Code injection page

  3. Paste the following code in the Site Header block:

<script>
  const disableNewsletter = true;
</script>
  1. Save your changes.

Newsletter page

To create the page for the Newsletter please click on Pages in the navigation menu and then click on the New page button.

You can assign any title you want to that page and you don't need to add content to it.

Since Ghost generates the slug automatically based on the page title, you must make sure that the value of the Page URL field matches the one in the table bellow, otherwise you have to change it manually.

Page Slug
Newsletter newsletter

If you want to have a link for the Newsletter page in the main menu you can add the following link in the Navigation section of the Design page in the Admin Panel:

Label Page URL
Newsletter https://YOUR_SITE_URL/newsletter

Replace YOUR_SITE_URL with your own site url.
