How to add a "Made by" badge to Ghost

Ghost has built-in code injection, so no theme changes are needed.

Create your badge

Steps

  1. 1

    Create your badge in the Maker Badge editor and copy your code.

  2. 2

    In Ghost admin, open Settings → Code injection.

  3. 3

    Paste the code into "Site footer" and save.

  4. 4

    Open your publication: the badge appears on every page.

What the code looks like

An updatable badge is a single line like this (the editor gives you yours). The self-contained version is longer but works the same way.

<script src="https://madebybadge.netlify.app/v1/badge.js" data-badge="YOUR_BADGE_ID" async></script>

Not showing up?

  • Check the published site, not an editor preview: most builders only run custom code on the live site.
  • Make sure the whole snippet was pasted, including the closing </script> tag.
  • Use "Test page" in the Maker Badge code dialog to confirm the badge itself works.
