Hello everyone, I’m Shunya and I’m new here. I know this might seem silly, but I really like a WordPress theme made for news sites, and I want to create a similar layout for posts and pages in Ghost. One feature I like is the timeline for individual posts. Has anyone here done something like this successfully?
Do you want to get suggestion about how to convert a Wordpress theme to a Ghost theme? I didn’t have done something like that but if I would need it, I would;
- Run that theme in a local wordpress instance (like docker).
- When navigating the pages, save home page as
home.hbs
, a post page aspost.hbs
, a tag page astag.hbs
etc… - Then find common parts of all the pages, move that to
default.hbs
and extend it form all other templates. - Put common ghost tags like
{{ghost_head}}
and{{ghost_foot}}
to relevant places. - Make HTML dynamic by using other Ghost template helpers.
- Put static assets (like css, js, images) to assets folder and update the references accordingly.
So now, you have a Ghost version of your Wordpress theme.
