Intro

We’ll be using yml/yaml format for all examples down below, I recommend using yml over toml as it is easier to read.

Override theme template

By Hugo’s Lookup Order, you can override any part of a theme that you want. The following is a quick example.

Let’s say you wish the list was different. All you have to do is copy the list template:

your-site/themes/papermod/layouts/_defaults/list.html
+

And paste it under your own layouts folder:

your-site/layouts/_defaults/list.html
+

Then you’re free to make any changes you want to the list. +When Hugo builds your site, your copy of list.html will be used instead of the theme’s list.html.

Enable Social-Metadata and SEO

These include OpenGraph, Twitter Cards and Schema.

params:
+  env: production
+

or set HUGO_ENV as “production” in system env-vars
