primary navigation

The primary navigation is used for links that appear in the navigation bar or menu of your website. To add a link to the primary navigation, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Ghost Admin Panel and navigate to the Navigation Settings.
  2. In the Primary navigation section, enter the name of the link in the Label field, and specify its URL in the corresponding field on the right. You can add or remove more links, and rearrange them by dragging them to change their position.


The Snook theme also supports second-level or inner links within the primary navigation. To create these sub-links, follow these guidelines:

  1. Start by adding a Label text that will serve as a grouping for certain links. For example, if you want the label to be named "About," enter the text: "-About".
  2. Next, add the links that will be grouped under that label. Use the following format: "-labelname--linkname". For instance, if you want to add a link named "Home" to the "About" group, you would write it as "-About--Home".


In the example images below, you can see how the links are grouped using labels. In this case, the label for the links group is named "Features" (-Features), and it contains sub-links such as Features (-Features--Features), Archive (-Features--Archive), and All posts(-Features--All posts). This allows you to organize your navigation menu and create hierarchical links within the primary navigation.

The Right Aligned template aligns the post content to the right, while H2 headings are placed on the left side on desktop devices. To avoid overlap, make sure that "full width" elements are not placed immediately after H2 headings. Some content is styled differently compared to the default template.

The Right Aligned With Video template works like the Right Aligned template but replaces the featured image with the first "video element" in the post content.

You can change the post template on every post/page settings (right side). Refer to the image below:

Our Selection Slider

To add posts to the "Our Selection" slider on the homepage, simply add the internal tag "#our-selection" to the posts you wish to include. Make sure to place the "#" before "our-selection." You can add up to 8 posts to the slider. See the image below for reference:

theme translation

The Snook theme supports translation, allowing you to translate all static text on your website into different languages. By default, the theme is in English, but you can add your own translations. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Download and unzip/extract the theme files.
  2. Locate the "locales" folder and open it.
  3. Inside the "locales" folder, you'll find a file named "en.json". Duplicate this file and rename the duplicate to the language you want to translate to. Ensure that you name it using a valid language code. For example, "es.json" for Spanish and "pl.json" for Polish.
  4. Open the translated file using a text editor.
  5. The file will have a structure like this:

    {
         "Back": "Back",
         "Newer Posts": "Newer Posts",
         "Older Posts": "Older Posts"
    }

    To change the translation, modify the text on the right-hand side while keeping the left-hand side unchanged. For example, to translate into Spanish (es.json):

    {
         "Back": "Volver",
         "Newer Posts": "Artículos Siguientes",
         "Older Posts": "Artículos Anteriores"
    }
  6. Translate all the text strings accordingly and save the file.
  7. Re-zip all the theme files and upload the updated theme to your Ghost admin panel. Publish the theme.
  8. Navigate to General Settings in the admin panel and locate the "Publication language" section. Change the locale name to the language you've translated the theme into. For example, "en" for English, "es" for Spanish, etc.
  9. Click on the Save button at the top right corner to apply the changes.

posts per page

To change the number of posts displayed per pagination page in the Snook theme, follow these steps:

  1. Download and unzip/extract the theme files.
  2. Locate the "package.json" file and open it in a text editor.
  3. In the "package.json" file, locate the following section of code:

    "posts_per_page": 6

    Change the number 6 to your desired value. For example, if you want to display 8 posts per page change it to 8:

    "posts_per_page": 8

  4. Once you have made the desired changes, save the "package.json" file.
  5. Rezip all the modified theme files and upload the updated zip file to your Ghost admin panel.
  6. Publish the updated theme to apply the changes to the number of posts per pagination page.


Please be cautious while modifying the theme files and ensure you have a backup in case any issues arise during the process. If you are unsure about making code modifications, it's best to seek assistance from a professional or developer who can help you with the desired changes while ensuring the integrity and stability of your website.
