Updating Massively for Ghost 6

If you're using the Massively theme and recently upgraded your site to Ghost 6, you might notice that your navigation menu disappears. No errors, no warning — it just doesn't appear.

Turns out older themes like Massively need a quick update to keep up.

Here's how I fixed it quickly.

Step 1: Update default.hbs

Inside your theme folder, open default.hbs. Look for the line where the navigation is rendered:

{{navigation}}

Replace it with:

{{> "navigation"}}

Step 2: Update partials/navigation.hbs

Next, open the file at partials/navigation.hbs. You’ll probably find a loop like this:

{{#foreach navigation}}

Update it to:

{{#foreach @site.navigation}}

Done. Navigation restored (I hope!)

That’s all you need to do. Two small edits and your header nav is working again.

The Massively theme is still a great starter for personal sites - This brings the theme up to date with Ghost.

Let me know if you’d like a forked version with the fixes already applied — happy to share.
