Custom Pages URLs

The Scope theme includes several types of built-in pages. This guide explains how to customize these pages and manage their navigation links throughout your site.

Built-in Pages Overview

The theme includes pages with predefined templates that require creation in Ghost admin:

Authors (/authors/)
Recommendations (/recommendations/)
Tags (/tags/)
Blog (/blog/) - when using landing routes

Customizing Page URLs

Pages with Custom Routes

When using the landing page feature, you can modify routes in routes-landing.yaml:


routes:
    /:
        template: landing
    /home/:
        template: home
 
collections:
    # Original
    /blog/:
        permalink: /{slug}/
        template: blog
 
    # Example of custom URL
    /articles/:
        permalink: /{slug}/
        template: blog

Save the file and upload it back to Ghost admin.

Pages with Predefined Templates

For pages using predefined templates (authors, recommendations, and tags), follow these steps:

Rename the respective template file in your theme folder:
- page-authors.hbs → page-your-new-slug.hbs
- page-recommendations.hbs → page-your-new-slug.hbs
- page-tags.hbs → page-your-new-slug.hbs
Update the page URL in Ghost admin to match your new slug

The theme includes built-in links to some pages in various templates. You can manage these links through the locales file.

Completely Removing Links

Some links can be completely removed from theme templates by setting them to "false" in /locales/en.json:


{
  "/recommendations/": "false",
  "/blog/": "false"
}

Tips

Always backup your theme before making URL changes
Update your navigation menu to reflect new URLs
Test all links after making changes
Remember to update any internal links in your content
