Disabling membership feature in Ghost

As I'm yet again trying to delve into the world of blogging, I have now updated my self-hosted Ghost blog to the latest version. It seems like a lot have happened over the last couple of years.

One of the major new features is the membership and subscription (modules?) of the platform. Those new features are not something I have planned to use, and I wanted them removed. To me, it wasn't obvious what to do, so might not be for you either. Follow the following few steps to disable these features.

  1. Go to the Ghost admin dashboard and press the settings button down in the left-hand corner
The settings button

2. Press Membership settings and then change Subscription access to Nobody

Change Subscription access

3. All done! Much cleaner site without any membership features

All done!

Hope this can help someone out!
