Frequently asked questions

I changed Accent Color in Ghost Admin and nothing happened.

That's expected — Fold's palette is fixed by design and doesn't read Ghost's Accent Color setting. See the note in Theme settings, and Customization if you want to wire it in yourself via code injection.

My CSS or JS changes disappeared after a build.

You likely edited a file under assets/built/ directly. Those are compiled output, regenerated (and overwritten) by pnpm run build. Make changes in assets/css/screen.css (or the equivalent source under assets/js) instead — see Don't edit assets/built.

The paywall isn't showing on a post I gated.

Work through this in order:

• Is Members actually enabled, with at least one paid Tier? See Turning on Members and Tiers.
• Is the post's Access set to something other than Public — Members-only, Paid-members-only, or a specific tier?
• Are you viewing it while signed in as a member who already has access? If so, seeing the full post instead of the fold is correct behavior, not a bug — try a private/incognito window to view it as a logged-out visitor.

Theme upload failed, or was rejected.

Upload the .zip produced by pnpm run zip — don't hand-zip the repo folder, since Ghost expects a specific internal structure that gulp-zip builds for you. Before uploading, run pnpm run test locally; it runs the same gscan validator Ghost runs on upload, so any fatal error will show up there first with a clearer message.

My custom heading/body font isn't taking effect.

Confirm you set it through Settings → Design and branding → Brand → Typography, not by pasting a font-family override into code injection — Fold reads Ghost's own typography variables, and a code-injection override will conflict with rather than extend it. See Fonts.

The homepage doesn't show my publication title and description anymore.

Check the Show publication intro theme setting — it's a straightforward on/off toggle under Settings → Design and branding → Theme settings, and it's easy to switch off by accident while exploring the settings panel.

Getting support

Support channels for Fold are still being finalized as the theme moves from demo to general release — check the Gazette site for the current contact details. In the meantime, this documentation and the live demo are the most up-to-date reference for how the theme is meant to behave.
