Introduction

Magazine Ghost theme for multi-author newsrooms, with four homepage covers, a widget sidebar, issue-based editions, and a newsletter archive.

Wire is built for publications that run more than a blog: several writers, regular issues, a newsletter, and a front page that changes character depending on what is worth reading today.

Four homepage covers. Switch the top of the front page between a hero, a slider, a billboard and a full-bleed cinematic layout without touching any code. See Cover.
A sidebar of eight widgets. Spotlight, projects, authors, sponsors, house ad, tips, recommendations and an about card, all fed by content you already publish. See Widgets.
Editions. Group posts into numbered issues that get their own archive, a homepage carousel and a "More from this issue" rail at the end of every post in the run. See Issues.
A newsletter archive. Email issues live at their own address with their own RSS feed, out of the way of the article feed. See Newsletters.
Audio and video posts with a player that stays on screen while the reader keeps scrolling. See Audio Post.
Reader tools: bookmarks that need no account, reading preferences for type size and column width, a table of contents with a progress ring, and a dismissible breaking-news bar.

Install the theme — see Getting Started.
Upload routes.yaml. Wire ships one, and without it the Issues, Newsletters, Projects, Bookmarks and Blog pages return 404.
Skim Internal Tags. Most of what makes this theme different is switched on by tagging a post or a page, and that page is the whole list on one screen.

Home Sections — every band of the front page, top to bottom.
Sidebar — the widget column and the two commercial slots.
Site Wide — colours, dark mode, navigation, optional features.
Posts — internal tags, the reading experience, audio and video.
Pages — the templates that come with the theme.
Advanced — comments, search, code injection, analytics.
