Solved: Some Ghost marketplace pages (post, author, tag...

At a glance

The community member is having issues connecting their website to a self-hosted Ghost instance. They were able to connect the posts, but the post, author, and tag pages were not working as expected. Another community member suggested that the issue was with the slugs, and that the community member should swap out the slugs with their own. The community member confirmed that this was the solution, and that the issue was solved.

Hello team,
I am in the process of connecting my website to Ghost – a self-hosted instance. I followed the directions, replaced the default—Webstudio's—API key and Ghost URL, without the trailing slash. Started with posts and that worked like a charm. Proceeded to do the same with the post page, but nothing happened 🤔

In the end, pages posts and sitemap seem to be working as expected. On the other hand, pages post, author, and tag don't seem to be picking up on the changes.
I'd be grateful if someone could take a look and let me know if it was me or something else that caused this not to work. Here is a builder link: https://apps.webstudio.is/builder/0203520e-359c-4445-aade-35c4e9ac4c40?authToken=38409e90-477d-4e69-a715-f7313bbf4605&mode=edit

Thanks in advance! 🙏

When you switched the url to your instance, it's now looking for your post/author/tag slugs. So the issue was the slugs you were trying only exist in the default connection. Just swap out the slugs with yours and your data will pull up

Thank you, @John Siciliano 🙏

I presume this is more of a way to confirm things are connected, meaning one doesn't need to manually enter slugs for all posts in the database?

correct its just for testing and preview. In actuality, those values come from the URL in the browser. Someone goes to /posts/hello, query looks for hello, and returns what it found
