A homepage built from your own page no longer picks up a background colour from an image that is not on it, the default homepage shows both of its category sections rather than one, and post counts next to a "Show all" link are now accurate.

Bug fixes

  • A homepage built from your own page no longer takes a background colour from your publication cover. If that page had no feature image, its banner could be tinted with the dominant colour of the cover image set in your Ghost settings — an image that appears nowhere on the page. There was no setting that explained it and no way to switch it off other than choosing a colour deliberately. Banners now take a colour only from an image you can actually see, or from a colour you set. See The CMS-editable homepage.

  • The default homepage now shows both of its category sections. It is built to list your two most-used categories, and it was showing one. Internal tags — the ones beginning with a hash, which readers never see — were being counted alongside your real categories and taking one of the two places.

  • Post counts next to "Show all" are now correct. A category with more than fifteen posts reported fifteen, whatever the real number, so a section with twenty-six posts said "15 posts" beside a link that led to all twenty-six.

Under-the-hood improvements

  • A homepage built from your own page is around 15% smaller. The theme was building a second, complete copy of the default homepage underneath yours on every page load and hiding it from view. It was never visible, but it was downloaded, and it was the cause of the banner colour above. It is no longer built at all.
