Filtering posts in the Posts List section
The Posts List section loads posts from Ghost. The Source setting chooses how posts are fetched.
Source modes
| Source | What it does |
|---|---|
| Routes | Uses Ghost’s normal routing for the current template (home, tag, author, and similar). How many posts load follows Theme Settings → General → Posts per page (see the hint in the section when Source is Routes). |
| Featured | Posts marked featured, with Limit and Order. |
| Related | On post templates, posts related by primary tag or primary author, with a fallback you configure. |
| Custom | Your own query using the Filter control (see below). |
Custom source: visual filter (default)
Set Source to Custom. The Filter field opens the visual filter builder:
- Add rules (tags, authors, featured state, dates, and more) with Add filter.
- Choose whether rules use All or Any.
- Fantasma turns your rules into the Ghost filter string for you.
That is the path most people should use.
Manual filter string
In the same control, choose Manual from the add menu to edit the raw Ghost Content API filter string directly. Use this for advanced cases the visual builder does not cover yet. Ghost’s filter documentation applies.
Examples you might paste in Manual mode:
tag:news— public tag slugnewstag:hash-video— internal tag#video(Ghost stores internal tags with ahash-prefix)
Internal tags and collections
Posts must carry the right internal tags in Ghost for collection routes and similar — Fantasma does not edit Ghost posts from here. See Collections & tags.
Preview data
Demo preview may not show every tag combination you have in production. Use Pro connected-site preview when you need to validate a real feed — see Color & dark mode.
