Dawn theme - remove login/subscribe?

Themes
1

Please bear with me. I am a complete newbie with Ghost. I haven’t touched custom CSS for a blog since Wordpress in 2010. I feel ancient.

I just set up a blog with the Dawn theme. I am not interested in subscription features. Is there a way to remove the “Log In” and “Subscribe” links on BOTH the home page (the buttons) AND the upper right navigation? Can this be done with a code inject or do I need to edit specific files? Which ones? What should I remove?

EDIT: I should specify that I know how to turn memberships off. I want to know how to remove the links from showing up on my design.

I know the answer to this one! Copy all of this to your code injection and it’ll be more better gooder!

<style>
.cover-cta, .copyright, .menu-item-cta, .single-footer, .sticky, .header-right, .members-login {
    display: none;
    }

.social {
    display: flex;
    margin-bottom: 0rem;
    }

.logo-text {
    color: var(--brand-color); 
}
    
.cover-icon-image {
    width:40px;
}
</style>

If you are ok with changing theme files, I would suggest to download the theme and do the following changes

  1. post.hbs - remove the code between and including {{#unless @member}} and {{/unless}}.
  2. index.hbs - same here. remove the unless @member block.

This should get rid of all mentions of members and subscribing. Don’t forget to zip and upload.

Hi @pratnala - the new version of dawn theme in their Git Repo, does not seem to have this {{#unless @member}} code in either the post.hbs or the index.hbs files ?

So Where can I go to edit the code base to remove them? would appreciate if you could kindly shed some light on this issue

Best

It might be they updated to Ghost v5 and I haven’t explored v5 yet. I previously modified Casper in Ghost v4 and my reply was based on that.

What about the two “buttons” in the header?

With @shodandad tip I’ve successfully removed the two below my avatar…

Code injection

<style>
a.gh-head-link.gh-portal-close,
a.gh-head-btn.gh-btn.gh-primary-btn.gh-portal-close {
    display: none;
}

</style>

Thanks … now we have to delete also the button on the bottom.

What I find “strange” is that I’ve disabled the subscription feature of my test installation, so I’d expect those button to simlply vanish … but probably I’m too new on this platform!

The button at the bottom is the portal button. You control it with settings > membership > portal > customize.

I’m surprised that the portal button is showing up if membership is off. You may want to confirm that it’s really off!

Thank you Cathy!
I’ve overlooked the Portal settings page … not it’s all ok
