Latest Ghost CMS news and updates.
Member support
With the new impersonation feature you can support your users easier, by being able to see what they see. Authentication links are now single-use, and have been extended to 24 hours validity. They can be shared directly with any members who are having login issues, or trouble receiving emails.
New member importer
The new member importer allows you to match your CSV data to the correct fields, and review your import before you run it. You can even add tags to imports.
Introducing Portal
With the introduction of Portal member sign up, login and subscriptions can be handled by this new feature instead of the theme you are using.
Portal can be enabled in a few clicks directly inside Ghost Admin. The Portal settings menu allows you to customise the sign up options you offer on your site, and the design of the Portal UI.
Beyond member sign up and login, Portal handles the full membership experience, with carefully designed validation, notifications and account management for your subscribers.
The advantage of using Portal is that with updates you can get new features without needing to upgrade your theme, unfortunately Portal is not yet translatable.
Content snippets
You can now create re-usable snippets of content in your Ghost editor. This snippets can then be used in other posts. Snippets can be any type of content:
- image
- newsletter template
- embed
- or anything else that you want to use again
New zapier automation
Ghost updated their Zapier app, making it more powerful and useful adding new actions for finding and updating both members and staff users, as well as new triggers when members are updated or deleted, and when posts are scheduled.
