Does Source Ghost theme have a categories page out of the box?
I don’t understand exactly what you mean? Can you elaborate?
Like a page with a list of tags or collections?

Nope. But it’d be an hour of work to build one, if someone wanted to fund it.

HI, I created a category page for my blog on source theme. You can take it. although don’t blindly use my zip, it has some social profiles hardcoded. You need to modify the social-box.hbs for putting your own social links. otherwise if should work, although, I might be leaving some CSS, I cant remember, let me know if it does not work. I will find the missing CSS.

basically that custom-tags.hbs is the theme for category page. Create any page and name it categories/tag/or whatever you want, then select tags as the page’s theme.
this is the skeleton, that remains now, It used to look okay on live site.

Hi @cathy_sarisky. Are you saying there is no ‘Tag Collections’ feature with the Source theme where a page is automatically created for posts that have the same tag? You would think the Ghost manual would disclose that when Source is the default theme.
Source definitely has a collection for each tag. I was saying that there wasn’t a page built into source that would display cards/links for all your tags, like some other themes include.
Thanks. I ask because when I view a tag using the Source theme, I get a 404 page.
So tag pages only work if 1) the tag is public (doesn’t start with #) and 2) the tag has been applied to at least one published post. Is that true for you?

Got it. Post hasn’t been published yet. Still would be nice to see it unpublished, again since manual doesn’t state otherwise.
I assume # goes away when it is?
No. A # means that a tag is an ‘internal’ or private tag, and will never result in a page for /tag/#yourtagname.
If you want to be able to have /tag/yourtagname, make sure your tag name doesn’t start with #. That’s included in the documentation you linked, down at the bottom. :) If you think it could be clearer, you might let Ghost Pro support know, if you’re hosting with them.
