Post & Page templates

Choose post and page layouts, including title placement, image display, and additional template options.

1. Open the post or page settings panel from the icon in the top-right corner.
2. At the bottom of the panel, open the 'Template' dropdown menu.
3. Select a template, for example Template 'Full'.
4. Close the panel and click 'Update' to activate.

Template 'Full' – this template places the image below the title. It is useful when the title is long or when you want to emphasize the image more.

Template 'Split' – this template divides the header area into two sections, with the smaller section occupied by the image. Choose this if you want to keep the page more text-focused.

Template 'Compact' – in this template, the title and image are arranged in a column and share the same width as the post content. This is the default template for Pages.

'Appearance' – templates with this label respect the value set in the 'Appearance' setting.

'Image orientation' – templates with this label respect the 'Images orientation' setting.

'TOC' – templates with this label add a 'Table of Contents' to the post or page. The TOC captures h2 headings and generates a list from them.

1. Go to the 'Design & branding' settings in the Ghost Admin.
2. Open the 'Theme' tab and go to the 'Site-wide' section, then find the 'Default template' position.
3. Choose an option from the dropdown menu.
4. Click 'Save' to activate.

Auto – this is an automatic template that is based on the title length. If the title has more than 55 characters, the 'Full' template is selected, if it has fewer, the 'Split' template is selected.
