# Post & Page Cards

The surface style for single posts, pages, and the comments section is controlled separately from the post list. Default is **Solid** for readability on long-form content.

## Change post and page card style

1. Go to **Settings → Site → Design & branding**
1. Click **Customize → Theme → Site wide**
1. Change **Post page card style**

## Where it applies

The **Post page card style** setting affects:

- Post content cards (`post.hbs`)
- Page content cards (`page.hbs`)
- Comments section wrapper

Post list cards use a separate setting. See [Post List Cards](/docs/essence/settings-sitewide/post-list-cards/).

## Card styles

### Solid (default)

Opaque dark content area. Recommended for long articles and pages where maximum readability matters.

### Glass

Frosted backdrop blur around post and page content. Works in all modern browsers.

### Liquid

Refractive liquid-glass surface matching the post list effect.

    **Liquid** requires Chrome or Edge. Other browsers fall back to **Glass** automatically.

## Blur and shading

When **Post page card style** is **Liquid** or **Glass**:

| Setting | Options | Effect |
|---------|---------|--------|
| **Post page card blur** | None → Heavy (default: Medium) | Backdrop blur on the content card |
| **Post page card shading** | Light → Darker (default: Medium) | Surface dimming for contrast |

## Comments

The comments section uses the same card style, blur, and shading as posts and pages. Native Ghost comments render inside the matching card surface.
