  2. 2.0.0

    Fantasma 2.0

    Fantasma 2.0 puts every page of your theme on one canvas and builds everything on it from blocks, which you can save as patterns and style in one place. Every builder feature is on the Free plan, and downloading the theme or publishing it to Ghost now needs Pro. Your projects convert to Fantasma 2 the first time you open them.

    The Fantasma editor with a homepage of featured posts and a signup form, the Sections list on the left and template settings on the right

    One canvas for every page

    The editor shows each template of your theme as a live frame on one canvas, with the homepage, collections, posts and pages side by side. Zoom out to see them all, or click Fullscreen to work on one page at a time. Click a section to select it, click again to reach the block under the pointer, and type into headings and paragraphs right on the page. A toolbar floats over the selected block, with buttons to move it, set its width and alignment, and open its menu.

    The canvas zoomed out to 13 percent, with the Homepage, Collections, Post and Page templates side by side as live frames

    Select blocks inside a section, Edit text on the canvas and Preview your theme show how to work on the canvas.

    Everything is built from blocks

    A page is a stack of sections, and most of them are now one kind, named Section, which was the Banner section in Fantasma 1. A Section holds blocks, such as headings, paragraphs, images, buttons and menus. A Group lines blocks up in a stack, a row or a grid, and Groups go inside Groups, so one Section can hold columns, cards and sidebars. A Collection repeats one design for each post, tag, author or tier from Ghost, and data blocks such as Title, Date and Author fill it with your content. Forms are blocks too, made of fields and a button.

    An About Us heading selected on the canvas, nested in the Hero section's Side image and Content groups in the Sections list, its settings on the right

    Read more in Add blocks to a section, Group, Show a list of posts and Data blocks.

    Linked patterns

    Fantasma comes with more than 170 built-in patterns in 20 categories, from heroes and post lists to footers and cookie banners. A section you add from a pattern stays linked to it. Edit the pattern once, and every page that uses it changes, while each page keeps its own text, links and images. Save any section as a pattern of your own. Turn on Content area for a part of a pattern, and each page can add its own blocks there without breaking the link.

    The Patterns panel with its categories and their counts, and the 17 Hero patterns laid out on the canvas

    How patterns work explains linking, Edit pattern, Change only here and Detach. Built-in patterns lists every category.

    Styles for the whole theme

    Styles hold the design every page shares: the font pair and text styles, the color scheme in light and dark, gradients, shadows, corners, page widths, spacing and motion. Blocks pick named presets from Styles, so a change to a preset changes every block that uses it, and a Used by list shows where that is. The Style book shows every font, color, shadow and corner on one sheet. Posts you write in Ghost Admin follow the same styles.

    The Typography screen of Styles with the Headings style open, the Style book on the canvas, and the list of places that use Heading 2

    See How styles work, Change your fonts, Change your colors, Shadows and corners and Motion and page transitions.

    Variants, formats and custom blocks

    The Blocks panel holds how each kind of small block looks, such as a button, a link, a heading or a form field. A variant is one look, such as Filled or Outline for a button, with its own Hover and Pressed states. A format is a size, such as Small. Change a variant once, and every button that uses it changes. Turn any block or Group into a custom block to reuse one design with different content in each place, such as a team member card.

    The Button in the Blocks panel, with Filled, Secondary, Outline and Link variants as columns and Default, Hover and Pressed states as rows

    How block variants and formats work and Create a custom block explain both.

    Members and forms

    The Form block signs readers up for your newsletters, sends members a sign-in link, or sends a contact form to an address you choose. The Paywall is what a locked post shows readers without access, in place of the rest of the text, and any Button can open Ghost's Portal at the sign-up, sign-in or account page. Audience, in a block's Display settings, shows the block only to visitors, members, paid members or the tiers you pick. A pricing section lists your tiers with their prices from Ghost.

    Start with Add a newsletter signup form, Add a contact form, Change what readers see on a locked post and Show content only to members or some tiers.

    Site settings

    Project settings open in a window of their own, with a page for each area. Custom code adds scripts, such as analytics, to every page, and each script can wait until the visitor agrees in your cookie banner. Redirects lists the old addresses your site should forward, and SEO can keep AI crawlers out with Block AI crawlers or your own robots.txt.

    See Add analytics and other scripts, Add a cookie banner, Set up redirects and Control search engines and AI crawlers.

    Publishing to Ghost

    A Ghost connection takes either an Admin API key from a custom integration or a Staff access token from your own staff profile in Ghost Admin. If you connect with the token, publishing also uploads routes.yaml, the file where Ghost reads the addresses of your collections, tag pages and author pages. That upload replaces any routes.yaml your site already has, as Upload routes.yaml explains. With the token, Upload to Ghost on the Redirects page also sends your redirects. Theme name, in Project settings › General, sets the name Ghost lists your theme under.

    The Ghost page of Project settings with the fields Ghost site or Admin URL and Admin API key or Staff access token

    Connect your Ghost site compares the two keys, and Publish your theme to Ghost covers the rest.

    AI agents

    AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor can create and edit your Fantasma projects over MCP, the Model Context Protocol these apps use to work with other services. Add Fantasma's MCP URL to the app, sign in, and choose what it may do on every project you own. Build lets it create and edit projects, and Publish lets it manage Ghost connections and publish themes. Downloading and publishing need Pro for an agent as they do for you, and you change or remove its access in Account settings › Connected apps.

    Connect an AI agent has the steps for each app, and What an AI agent can do in Fantasma lists what each permission allows.

    Plans

    The Free plan now has every section, block, pattern, template and style, a Ghost connection with your own content in the preview, and AI agents. Downloading the theme ZIP, which Free could do in Fantasma 1, now needs Pro. Publishing to Ghost stays on Pro, and uploading redirects and restoring earlier versions are new Pro features. Pro costs $19 a month, down from $29, and $99 a year as before. Free holds 3 active projects and Pro holds 50, as before.

    The Free and Pro plans side by side, with Pro at $8.25 a month billed $99 yearly

    Free and Pro plans lists every limit, and Upgrade to Pro shows how to switch.

    Your projects

    Each Fantasma 1 section, such as Posts, Cards or Footer, becomes a Section built from blocks, with its content in place. Buttons, corners and text sizes move to the new variants and presets, so look over your pages before you publish again. Fantasma 1 is no longer available, so a converted project stays a Fantasma 2 project. Your Ghost site keeps the theme it has until you publish or upload a new one. A project you made without an account is imported when you sign up in the same browser. Where Fantasma 1 sections and blocks went, at the end of this entry, lists each old name and where to find it now.

    Status colors and custom CSS

    After your next download or publish, Success, Error, Warning and Notice follow each color scheme's light or dark palette. Set them in Styles > Colors.

    If CSS in Ghost Admin's Code injection sets Status variables such as --error on :root, those rules no longer override the scheme's colors. Move these colors into Styles, or update your CSS to target the affected mode and scheme after the theme's stylesheet, as Add custom CSS explains.

    Where Fantasma 1 sections and blocks went

    A converted section keeps its name in the Sections list in the left sidebar, such as "Footer" or "Post Header", even though its type is now Section. Some parts become a use of a custom block, a group of blocks made reusable, listed under Custom in the Blocks panel. See Create a custom block.

    Sections

    Fantasma 1 In Fantasma 2
    Banner The same section, now called Section.
    Footer A Section named Footer. It holds Groups built from blocks such as Site Logo, Navigation Menu, Social Links, Dark Mode Toggle, Separator and a Paragraph with the copyright line.
    Logo Cloud A Section named Logo Cloud, with a Group named Logos that holds an Image per logo. Logo Size became each Image's Height. Muted Logos became custom CSS, under Advanced › Custom CSS in the settings of the Group that holds the logos, or of the section when it holds them itself.
    Cards A Section with its heading blocks and a Group named Cards that holds the cards.
    Posts A Section named Posts, with a Heading and a Collection whose Source is Posts. Sidebar widgets sit beside it in a Group. See Show a list of posts.
    Post Header A Section named Post Header, with the data blocks Primary Tag, Title and Excerpt, and a Byline custom block for the author and date line.
    Featured Media A Section named Featured Media, with the Featured Image data block. On a tag page it shows the tag's image.
    Page Header, Tag Header, Author Header A Section with the same name, built from data blocks such as Title, Excerpt, Post Count, Location and Avatar.
    Navigation The same section. Its menu for phones became a Dialog named Mobile menu, under Overlays in the layout.

    Post Content and Post Comments keep their names and work as before.

    Blocks

    Fantasma 1 In Fantasma 2
    Card A Group. When it matches a built-in card, it is a use of that custom block: Feature Card, Testimonial Card, Category Card, Stat Card or Text Card.
    Card Icon An Icon. Its style became the Icon's background, border and spacing.
    Card Rating A Rating.
    Card Person A use of the Profile custom block. The avatar became an Image, hidden when the card had none.
    About A Group of Site Logo, Heading, Paragraph and Button, as a use of the About custom block.
    Posts List A Collection whose Source is Posts, as a use of the Posts List custom block. A widget title above it became its heading.

    Tags List A Collection of tags and a View All Button, as a use of the Tags List custom block.
    Authors A Collection whose Source is Authors.

    Buttons A Group of Buttons in a row or one under another. A button with no label and no icon was removed.
    Button A Button. Its look became a Variant, such as Filled or Outline, and its size a format, such as Small. You pick both at the top of the Button's settings. How each variant looks is set once for every button in the Blocks panel. See How block variants and formats work.
    Eyebrow A small Paragraph with Uppercase formatting, which you change in the text toolbar under More formatting. See Edit text on the canvas.
    Heading, Paragraph The same blocks. A heading styled as a sidebar title became the Widget Title custom block.
    Sharing A Group named Sharing that holds a Share Link for each network. A Ghost share button became a Share Button. A button that was turned off was removed.
    Sharing Button A Share Link.
    Social Links Social Links, which draws your links from Ghost. When it held links you added yourself, a Group named Social Links of Icon Links.
    Social Link An Icon Link. A link that was turned off was removed.
    Recommendations A Recommendations List with a Widget Title above it, as a use of the Recommendations List custom block. See Recommendations.

    Collapse, Custom HTML, Image, List, List Item, Search, Separator, Table of Contents and Video keep their names.

    The Theme tab

    The Theme tab of the right sidebar is gone. Its settings moved:

    Fantasma 1, Theme tab In Fantasma 2
    Ghost connection Project settings › Ghost. See Connect your Ghost site.
    Posts per page Project settings › Features › Posts per page. See Project settings.
    Enable Lightbox Project settings › Features › Lightbox
    Code Syntax Highlight Project settings › Features › Code highlighting
    Featured Video, Featured Video Preview Project settings › Features › Featured video and Featured video preview. See Play a video as a post's featured media.

    Color scheme Styles › Colors. See Change your colors.
    Fonts Styles › Typography. See Change your fonts.
    Container Widths: Wide, Standard, Narrow, Full Styles › Layout › Container widths. See Page widths and spacing.

    Styles is the paintbrush icon and Project settings the sliders icon in the icon rail. The right sidebar's first tab, named after what is open, such as Template, now holds the settings of the open page. The builder shows where everything sits.

  3. 1.4.0

    Video, custom fonts and sign-in with Google

    Fantasma Pro adds video in two places. The Video block plays a YouTube link, a Vimeo link, or an MP4 or WebM file you host, and Banner and Cards sections take a muted looping video behind their content. Visitors who ask for reduced motion, and phones unless you allow them, see the background image instead.

    This release also opens up typography in Pro. A custom font pairing can use any of the 1,946 families in the Google Fonts catalogue, a project can install or upload families of its own, and Bundle fonts in theme writes them into the ZIP so a published site never requests anything from Google.

    • Added the Video block for a YouTube link, a Vimeo link, or an MP4 or WebM file you host. Read the guide
    • Added a video background on Banner and Cards sections, muted and looping behind the section content.
    • Added custom font pairs built from any of the 1,946 families in the Google Fonts catalogue. Read the guide
    • Added project fonts: install a family from the Google catalogue with the weights you pick, or upload your own OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files.
    • Added Bundle fonts in theme, on by default in Pro, so the published site loads its fonts from your own Ghost server instead of Google.
    • Added Continue with Google to the sign-in and sign-up screens.
    • Added Duplicate to the menu on built-in color scheme tiles, so a custom scheme can start from an existing palette. Read the guide
    • Added Collapse on Small Screens to the Table of Contents block, so a long outline no longer pushes the post below the fold on phones.
    • Added AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md to every theme ZIP, so an AI coding agent is told the theme is build output before it edits a file. Read the guide
    • Improved publish to stop reporting success when Ghost never confirmed the theme was activated.
    • Fixed the builder preview failing to load on the live site.
    • Fixed theme export producing a stylesheet from the wrong plan when two exports ran at once.
    • Fixed duplicating a project with more than about seven images leaving a copy that could never be published.
    • Fixed four built-in font pairings whose heading font never loaded: Bold Statement, Classic Serif, Editorial, and Newspaper.

  4. 1.3.0

    The Custom HTML block, image links and safer autosave

    Fantasma Pro adds the Custom HTML block for ad tags, embeds, and third-party widgets. Image blocks also gained a Click behavior setting, so an image can open the lightbox or link to any URL.

    Autosave is no longer last-write-wins. A window left open for hours now catches up with newer work instead of overwriting it, and a save that fails is visible in the builder.

    • Added the Custom HTML block for pasting raw HTML into a section.
    • Added a Click behavior setting on image blocks: open the lightbox or link to a custom URL. Read the guide
    • Added a conflict warning when a project changed in another window, so a stale tab reloads instead of saving over newer work.
    • Improved the builder to show when a save fails instead of failing quietly.
    • Improved a second open window to pick up saves from the first within seconds.
    • Improved the Ghost connection check to reject an Admin API key that cannot publish themes, instead of failing later at publish time. Read the guide
    • Improved publish errors to name the firewall rule when a host blocks the theme upload.
    • Improved preview failures to show an error with a retry instead of an endless spinner.
    • Changed the privacy policy: analytics now runs on Visitors, which sets a first-party cookie. Privacy policy
    • Fixed publishing to hosts that scan the upload by compressing the theme ZIP.
    • Fixed project images returning 404 in exported themes on Ghost sites installed in a subdirectory.
    • Fixed broken card background and person avatar images in the builder preview.
    • Fixed section horizontal padding ignoring its setting, so None now removes the padding.
    • Fixed two Features presets rendering full width instead of their 900px content width.
    • Fixed the builder preview getting stuck after an upgrade to Fantasma Pro.
    • Fixed a stray page scrollbar in the builder.

  5. 1.2.3

    All nine Ghost social platforms in Social Links

    Social Links now renders site and author accounts with Ghost’s social_accounts helper, so exported themes can show all nine platforms from Settings → General, not just Facebook and Twitter. Your Ghost site needs to be on 6.38 or later.

    • Improved Social Links to show all nine Ghost social platforms from Settings → General, not just Facebook and Twitter.
    • Changed Social Links in exported themes to use Ghost’s social_accounts helper, which requires Ghost 6.38 or later. Ghost docs
    • Fixed Subscribe form submit button layout in Firefox.
    • Fixed default Post template sidebar so new free projects no longer ship with the Pro-only Tags List block, which blocked theme download.

  6. 1.2.2

    Fixes for shared Layouts and dark mode in exported themes

    This patch fixes how Fantasma exports shared Layouts when templates use context-specific sections, preserves dark mode custom settings in exported themes, and clears Ghost site verification and split card display issues.

    • Fixed exported themes shipping invalid per-template layout files for shared Layouts with context-specific sections.
    • Fixed shared Layout export when every assigned template is excluded from scoped layout output.
    • Fixed exported themes missing blocks and sections referenced only in template-specific layout variants.
    • Fixed dark mode custom settings in exported themes.
    • Fixed Ghost site verification when the Admin API sends a gzip header with uncompressed JSON.
    • Fixed split card headers appearing behind fill image backgrounds.

  7. 1.2.1

    Fixes for recommendation links and Ghost connections

    This patch fixes recommendation row links in exported themes and builder preview, restores publish and preview refresh against local Ghost setups, and clears a few builder and sign-in rough edges.

    • Improved magic link sign-in error messages.
    • Fixed recommendation row links to use each site’s external URL.
    • Fixed publish and connected-site preview refresh when Ghost returns gzip-compressed Admin API responses.
    • Fixed post order settings for Latest posts queries.
    • Fixed Post Content sidebar styling in builder preview when position is Up or Down.

  8. 1.2.0

    Custom color schemes and the Posts List block

    Fantasma Pro now supports custom color schemes: name your own palettes, tune light and dark tokens, and use them globally or per section.

    You also get the Posts List block for sidebars, Post Content width and typography tweaks, and preview fixes for inherited templates and connected sites.

    • Added custom color schemes in Theme Settings. Read the guide
    • Added Posts List block to use as widget in sidebars.
