Does Fantasma work with Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost?
Yes. Fantasma makes a standard Ghost theme, which installs the same way on Ghost(Pro) and on a site you host yourself. Your site needs Ghost 6 or later. To publish from Fantasma, the site also needs a public https:// address. Otherwise, download the theme and upload it in Ghost. See Connect your Ghost site.
Does my site depend on Fantasma once it is live?
No. Ghost runs your theme like any other theme. If you stop using Fantasma, your site keeps working. You come back only to change the design. See How Fantasma works with Ghost.
Yes. Fantasma has no starter design made for photography or magazines, so you build one from blocks and from patterns, the ready-made sections. For photos, use the Gallery patterns and the Gallery block. For a magazine, use the Posts patterns and the Collection block, which lists your posts. Built-in patterns shows each category.
Plans and accounts
Can I use my themes for client sites, and on how many sites?
Yes. With Pro, you can use the themes you download or publish on as many sites as you need, your own or your clients'. You cannot resell or share them as products on their own, such as on a theme marketplace. One project is one theme, and one theme can run on many sites. One Pro subscription covers one Fantasma account and up to 50 active projects. See Free and Pro plans.
Is there a lifetime Pro plan?
No. The pricing page lists Pro at $19 a month or $99 a year, with no other plan. Free lets you build your whole theme before you pay. See Upgrade to Pro.
What happens to my site when Pro ends?
Nothing. Themes you already published or uploaded keep running, and your projects stay in your account. You can keep building, but downloading and publishing need Pro again. See Change or cancel your subscription.
Can I move a project to another Fantasma account?
Not by yourself, because Fantasma has no setting for it. Get help from our team and send the project's address and the email address of the other account.
Your posts, pages, members and settings are not in the theme. They live in Ghost, and you export them from Ghost Admin. The project itself stays in your Fantasma account. There is no file of it to save and open again.
Will there be more themes to start from?
Starter themes are planned for later updates. We have no dates to share. To start now, every project begins with a full design, and the built-in patterns cover heroes, post lists, pricing tables, footers and more.
I used Fantasma 1. What happens to my projects?
They open in Fantasma 2 and convert the first time you open them, with nothing for you to do. Fantasma 2.0 describes what changed.

Your content and projects
How do I export everything I built?
Download the theme. The ZIP holds your whole design, with the images and fonts you uploaded in Fantasma, and installs on any site that runs Ghost 6 or later. Downloading needs Pro. See Download your theme and upload it in Ghost and What's in your theme file.
Your posts, pages, members and settings are not in the theme. They live in Ghost, and you export them from Ghost Admin. The project itself stays in your Fantasma account. There is no file of it to save and open again.
