Installing Your Folio Theme

Follow these quick steps to install your new Ghost theme:

After purchase, you’ll receive a Folio.zip file containing your theme.

Access your dashboard at:
https://yoursite.com/ghost

  • Click the ⚙️ Settings icon (bottom left)
  • Select “Theme” from the menu
  • Choose “Change theme” → “Upload theme”
  • Upload the Folio.zip file

Once uploaded, click “Activate now” to apply your new theme.


For the Folio theme to function correctly, you must upload the routes.yaml file. This step is separate from the theme upload and ensures that custom collections, navigation, and dynamic pages work properly.

  1. Access Ghost Admin: Log in to your dashboard at https://yoursite.com/ghost/.
  2. Navigate to Labs: Go to Settings → Labs (located at https://yoursite.com/ghost/#/settings/labs).
  3. Upload the File: Under the Beta features section, click the Upload routes file button.
  4. Select the File: Locate and select the routes.yaml file found within the root directory of the Folio zip file you downloaded.

[!IMPORTANT] Labs is a testing ground for experimental Ghost features. These settings may change or require updates as Ghost evolves.

  • Routes: Use the routes.yaml file to configure dynamic routing and custom URL structures.
  • Download: You can also download your current routes configuration directly from this menu to keep a backup before making changes.

🎉 That’s it! Folio is now ready to use.
