Update theme
Update Enova safely — download the latest enova.zip, upload it with the same file name to keep your settings, and activate it in Ghost Admin.
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.
To update the theme
Follow these steps to safely upload and activate the latest version of your theme.
Download the latest version
Download the latest version of the theme — only the newest Enova is distributed, so there's no version to pick. Keep your Ghost installation up to date first; see the Compatibility Guide if you're unsure about your Ghost version.
Open Design & branding
Navigate to the Design & branding settings in your Ghost Admin.
Upload theme
In the top right corner, click the Upload theme button and select your updated theme file.
Activate
Upon a successful upload, click the Activate button to deploy the updated theme for your publication.
