Update theme

Ensure your publication remains secure and high-performing by keeping your theme up to date with the latest Ghost features.

To keep your site running smoothly and securely, we recommend that you always utilize the most recent theme version. The latest updates often include critical compatibility with the newest Ghost versions, as well as performance enhancements and styling refinements.

Custom Code Warning

Any custom code modifications made directly to the theme files (outside of code injections) will be erased when you update. Always keep a backup of your modifications.

Important Preparation

Use the exact same file name as your current active theme to preserve your existing custom settings within the Ghost Admin.
