Editing tags on mobile

Is it my theme/instance, or is there no way to disable an added tag on articles from mobile?

I already tried desktop mode; I can add more tags but can’t remove the previously added ones.

Plus: it’s really tricky to remove callouts on mobile, but after trying lots of methods, I finally managed to do it. Removing tags stills impossible to me.

I’m adding this in case anyone reads this and takes it into consideration: empty callouts (without text) can’t be deleted from mobile either, and I understand that, by default, they shouldn’t be rendered.

This isn’t caused by your publication theme. The editor and post settings live inside Ghost Admin and are independent of the theme used on the public site.

The callout problem appears to match an existing open Ghost editor bug:

Removing card on mobile devices — Ghost issue #28568

Requesting the desktop version of the site on a phone may not help, because it changes the viewport but the device still uses touch input and has no true hover interaction.

Removing an existing tag should be possible, so if its remove control is unavailable or does nothing on mobile, that also sounds like a Ghost Admin mobile bug rather than intended behaviour. It would help the Ghost team if you could add:

  • Phone or tablet model

  • OS and version

  • Browser and version

  • Whether the problem affects every post

  • A short screen recording, if possible

For now, editing the post from an actual desktop or laptop is probably the most reliable workaround.

Regarding empty callouts: if the callout card still exists in the post data, Ghost may render the card even when its text is empty. The underlying issue is therefore the inability to remove the card reliably on a touch device, rather than something the active theme can fix.
