Navigation and archives
Primary navigation
Open Settings → Navigation in Ghost Admin. Recommended links are:
- Home —
/ - Recipes —
/recipes/ - About — your About page URL
- Contact — your Contact page URL
Keep the primary menu short. Put legal, social, and supporting links in secondary navigation.
Recipe archive
The included routes.yaml maps /recipes/ to Cookory’s recipe archive. The archive provides a search field, tag filter buttons, and a grid/list view toggle. It displays up to 100 posts and uses the tags assigned to published posts. In a local Ghost installation, import or reload routes.yaml under Settings → Labs → Routes if /recipes/ returns a 404, then restart Ghost if necessary.
Search
The header search control opens the site search panel. The dedicated /search/ page reads the q query parameter and filters recipe cards. If search is not part of your publication, disable Show search in Site-wide settings.
Tags and authors
Tag archives use /tag/{slug}/ and author archives use /author/{slug}/. Use stable, readable tag names because their slugs become public URLs. Ghost creates these archives automatically for active content.
Broken links
If /recipes/ does not open, confirm Cookory is active and the included routes are installed. If you changed routes in Ghost Labs, restore the theme’s route configuration, save it, and restart local Ghost before testing again.
