🔮Homepage Sidebar

This field is specific to the Elrond theme.

By default, the Newsletter Form (Subscribe Widget) and Popular Categories (Tags) widgets are visible

If you want to hide a widget, let's see how you can do it:

Set-up Sidebar Widgets

  1. Go to the "Design & Branding" tab in the Ghost Admin panel.

  2. Click on the Theme tab and under Homepage, find the Popular Categories and Newsletter Widget settings. Both are enabled by default. To hide a widget, simply toggle it off.

  3. Click Save to apply the changes. That’s it!

Newsletter Widget Settings

The Newsletter (Subscribe) Widget includes a few customization options:

  • Newsletter CTA: The main title or call-to-action message.

  • Total Subscribers: Displays the total number of subscribers.

You’ll find these settings under the Homepage section in the Theme settings. They are pre-filled by default, but you can customize them to your preference.

How to Hide the Subscriber Count and Avatars?

To hide the subscriber count and avatars, simply toggle off the Newsletter Subscribers setting in the theme options. When disabled, the Total Subscribers section will be hidden from the widget.

How to Change Subscriber Avatars?

To customize the subscriber avatars, you’ll need to modify the theme files:

  • Unzip the elrond.zip file you downloaded.

  • Navigate to the assets/images folder and locate the default avatar images (e.g., user-avatar-1.png, user-avatar-2.png, etc.).

  • Delete the existing avatar images.

  • Add your own avatar images using the exact same file names (user-avatar-1.png to user-avatar-5.png).

  • Zip the theme folder again, keeping the filename the same as the original theme (e.g., elrond.zip or your custom theme name).

  • Upload the updated theme in the Ghost Admin panel.
