Crimson supports Ghost’s native Membership and Newsletter features, but they are optional.
Crimson includes:
Custom templates for Sign in, Sign up, Subscribe, Membership, and Account pages
Layouts and CTAs optimized for member-focused and subscription-based sites
Support for paid and free membership tiers
To use these features:
Memberships must be enabled in Ghost Admin → Settings → Membership
Email newsletters must be configured using Ghost’s supported email providers
It is important to upload routes.yaml file for custom pages to work.
routes.yaml
That’s perfectly fine.
Crimson works normally as a content-only news or publishing theme
Membership pages and features remain inactive
No additional setup is required
You can enable memberships later at any time without reinstalling the theme.
