Membership

Signal's membership features — the Subscribe page with your Ghost tiers and a donate button, Portal sign-in, the newsletter signup, and members-only episodes.

Signal supports Ghost's native membership end to end — paid tiers, one-time donations, newsletter signups, and members-only episodes — all driven from your Ghost settings.

The Subscribe page

Create a page slugged subscribe and Signal builds a membership page from your Ghost data: tier cards with a Popular badge, a one-time donation link, your listen links, and the newsletter form. The full walkthrough lives at Subscribe.

Sign in & account

When members aren't signed in, the header shows Sign in and Subscribe; once signed in, it shows Account. These open Ghost Portal. Portal keeps working as visitors move around the site — even while the persistent player is going — so a signup or login is never interrupted.

Newsletter

Ghost's native newsletter signup appears on the homepage and the Subscribe page. New subscribers are managed in Ghost (Settings → Email newsletter); the theme just presents the form.

Members-only episodes

Set an episode's visibility to members or a specific tier (in the post settings, Access) and Signal gates it: non-members see the cover image and a prompt to subscribe instead of the player, and the Chapters/Transcript tabs invite them to join. The media and transcript live in the locked body, so non-members don't receive them — with one caveat: don't add a public-preview divider to a gated episode (see the warning in Media player).
