Menus

Mirror hardcodes no links. Both menus come from Settings → Navigation:

• The header menu is the Primary menu.
• The footer’s two link columns are the Primary and Secondary menus. The footer’s Sections column lists only top-level items.

A feed link is a menu item like any other. Add /rss/ to the secondary menu to put it in the footer.

Below 1200px the header collapses to a menu button. The panel it opens carries search, the whole menu and the subscribe button.

Submenus

You write submenus in the menu labels:

1. Name the parent in the child’s label. Feed / Grid belongs to the item labelled Feed and shows as Grid.
2. Put the first child directly under its parent in the list. The other children can sit anywhere.

On a wide screen the parent opens a panel on hover or keyboard focus, and its label still links to its own URL. Give a parent the URL # and it becomes a heading that only opens its panel. Below 1200px the panel lists each group under its heading.

Search

Search is Ghost’s own. The ⌕ button in the header opens it on every page except sign-in and sign-up, and ⌘K works wherever the button does.

The header button

The header’s button follows your membership settings:

Situation	Button
Normal	Subscribe
Invite-only signups	Sign in
Signed-in member	Account
Memberships off	None

Footer signup

The footer’s email field is Ghost’s signup form, so it creates real members and sends a real magic link. It appears only while memberships are on.

Logo

Upload a publication logo and it replaces the wordmark. Dark mode needs a light-ink version of it:

• Set Dark mode logo under Settings → Design & branding.
• Or leave it empty, and dark mode sets your publication name in the theme’s display face.
