Hero section

Configure Basho’s homepage hero by setting a custom title, choosing its size, and deciding whether it includes a subscription form or a membership button. The hero sits beside the featured-post slider, so this setting shapes the first editorial message visitors see.

Tip: How to add a custom hero title

To add a custom hero title, go to the 'Design & branding' settings in the Ghost Admin.
Open the 'Theme' tab and go to the 'Homepage' section, then find the 'Hero title text' position.
Enter the hero title.

If you want your text in bold, use the <span> ... </span> tag, like this:

Your own <span>hero text</span>

You can also use or with the same visual result

To start the text on a new line, use the <br> tag like this:

Your own hero text<br> New text line

Click 'Save' to activate.
Tip: How to add a subscription form or button
To add a subscription form or button to the hero section, go to the 'Design & branding' settings in the Ghost Admin.
Open the 'Theme' tab and go to the 'Homepage' section, then find the 'Hero title size and subscription form or button' position.
Use the dropdown menu to select your option.
Click 'Save' to activate.
Tip: How to change the subscription button link (Requires theme editing)
To replace /membership/ with another page, for example /signup/, open ../partials/members/subscribe_button.hbs in your code editor and find:

<a href="{{@site.url}}/membership/" ...

Then, replace with:

<a href="{{@site.url}}/signup/" ...

Save your subscribe_button.hbs file in ../partials/members/ folder.
Create a 'signup' page with /signup/ page URL.
