# Recommendations

This theme supports Ghost’s native Recommendations feature, allowing you to suggest other publications to your readers without needing custom templates or extra code. Recommendations are displayed using a simple navigation link.

### Adding recommendations

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **"Recommendations"** in Ghost Admin (**Settings** → **Growth** → **Recommendations**).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **"Add recommendation"**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter the URL of the publication you want to recommend. Ghost will automatically fetch its title and description.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

You can manage all added sites under **"Your recommendations"**, including removing them at any time.

### Adding a navigation link

To make recommendations accessible to visitors, add a link to your site navigation:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **"Navigation"** in Ghost Admin and click **"Customize"**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add a new item to the **Primary** or **Secondary** navigation:

* **Label:** (e.g., Recommendations)
* **URL:** `/#/portal/recommendations`
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **"Save"** to update your navigation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Visitors will see your recommended publications when they click this link.
