Reru

$89

Reru is a gallery for your writing. The interface steps back into a slim rail of icons and the page belongs to your images, laid out at their own shape. Built for magazines, studios and personal archives with a lot to look at, and managed entirely from Ghost admin.

A Rail, Not a Menu

Navigation as a slim rail of icons on the left, or a drawer on the phone. It stays the same on every page and leaves your content room to breathe.

We moved the menu off the top of the page on purpose. The reading line starts higher, and the first thing a visitor sees is your work, not your site structure.

A Feed Shaped by Your Images

A masonry feed that takes its shape from your pictures. Portraits stay tall, landscapes stay wide, and the homepage reads like a gallery wall rather than a grid of thumbnails.

Beside the feed on wide screens, a column keeps your featured posts, a subscribe form and your authors in view while the reader browses.

Six Ways to Open a Story

Six openings for a post, from a wide image across the page to text alone. A photo essay and a short note should not start the same way, so you choose per story, in the editor.

Every Page a Publication Needs

Authors with their photos and links, tags with their descriptions, a membership page whose pricing comes from your Ghost tiers, a shop, a contact page, and sign-in and sign-up pages that look like the rest of your site. One design, carried through.

Saved Posts

Readers bookmark what they want to come back to, no account needed. A small courtesy that turns a visit into a habit.

Built for Long Reads

A table of contents that follows the reader down the posts you mark for it, a progress line across the top, and next, previous and related stories at the end. Long pieces feel shorter, and the way onward is always in view.

Light, Dark, and Your Own Type

Light, dark, or whatever the reader's device prefers, with a switch you can offer your visitors. Choose from 27 heading and 17 body fonts, upload a second logo for the dark scheme, and your accent color runs through the rest.

Made For

Magazines, studios, photographers and personal archives where the pictures carry the story. If your writing comes first and images are occasional, Senna gives text the same care that Reru gives photographs.

Reru questions

Can I use Reru with a normal horizontal menu instead of the icon rail?
No. On screens 1100px and wider the icon rail is the primary navigation, and there is no setting that swaps it for a menu bar. Below 1100px the rail hides and a menu button in the header opens a sheet with the same links. Your secondary navigation still appears in the footer as titled columns.
How do I give rail items icons and dropdown groups?
In Ghost's navigation settings, add [icon=name] to a label to use that Lucide icon; an item without one shows a tile with the first letter of its label. To make a group, create an item with # as its URL and start the labels of the items under it with a dash. The group becomes a heading with a dropdown panel beside the rail. The navigation section of the docs walks through it.
Does every post get a table of contents?
Only posts you tag `#toc`, and only when the body has at least two H2 or H3 headings. The theme then shows a column of tick marks at the right edge that tracks your position. On wide screens it opens into the heading list on hover; on phones it opens as a bottom sheet.
Do readers need an account to save posts?
No. The bookmark on each post stores the saved list in the reader's own browser, and the header bookmark opens it with Remove and Clear all. Nothing is sent to your site or to Ghost. If you would rather not offer it, one theme setting turns saved posts off.
What does the Membership page need from me?
Only your tiers in Ghost. The template reads them, including monthly and yearly prices and benefits, and lays them out as cards with a Monthly/Yearly toggle; tiers with a free trial get a chip and an accent ring. Each button opens Portal at that plan. If your site is invite-only the buttons are hidden, and with no tiers the page says no plans are available yet. Setup steps are in the Membership page docs.
Which Ghost version does the Reru theme support?
Reru is compatible with Ghost 5.118+ & 6, and was last updated Sep 2026. It installs on any current Ghost site, whether self-hosted or on Ghost(Pro).
How much does the Reru theme cost, and is there a refund?
Reru is a one-time purchase of $89 with no subscription, backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee so you can try it risk-free.
Do I need to know how to code to use Reru?
No. Install Reru from Ghost Admin by uploading the theme zip, then adjust fonts, colors, navigation, and homepage options through Ghost's built-in settings and code injection. No coding is required to set it up.
What is included, and where do I get help setting up Reru?
Your purchase includes the Reru theme package plus full documentation at luxethemes.com/docs/reru covering installation, customization, and every feature. You can also reach support through the contact page.
