I like that it could (ideally) be an option to cleanly disable the Members feature (rather than remove it), if it is practicable for the core development team to maintain going forward.
[ There is some discussion of this also on this other thread ]
I think it might be a duplicate of this topic:
In Ghost 3 you could choose whether the members area was activated or not in the Labs section. With Ghost 4 this has been disabled and members are on by default. However, I’d argue most existing Ghost users aren’t using the members feature. If you’re running a portfolio or a corporate website having a membership model doesn’t make sense.
Would it be possible to have a toggle to turn off the members feature? This would remove the extra JavaScript that is being loaded on the site, the revenue fea…
Edit: oh nvm, I read your post on that topic. I’ll leave the link here anyway.
Another thread on this topic:
I upgraded to 4.0.1 15min ago. Unfortunately I can not find an option to disable the members function. I live in the EU and because of GDPR and other reasons I do not want this possibility to exists at all for my blog (for now). Simply do not show the link to the portal is not enough, I explicitly want the function to be disabled.
And one more:
I’ve been using Ghost since 2014. It’s been good all the way, until version 4.0.
The theme update breaks some custom code injections. OK, we can just use the 3.x theme to work around this.
The worst thing is all those “subscribe” buttons: please, we just want a place to write something. We are not running a commercial blog. I didn’t find an option to hide those things, even if I use a custom theme.
Luckily I’ve got a backup so I’m able to downgrade back to 3.x. Maybe I’ll reconsider upgrading…
