Hi, My website has several categories like - Java Kotlin Spring I’ve defined a “/layouts/taxonomy/category.html” layout that is used by all the categories. Now, I want to have a different layout for one of my category - Kotlin. How can I achieve this? I tried defining a layout in “/layouts/tax…

Sure! I have added all the details in the question now.

You’d get more help if you post a link to the repo, or if you can’t, make a small demo site with the options from your config and the content in question. The reason is there are many components that can override or interfere with templates, so we need to see them all to troubleshoot.

@callicoder after reviewing the docs, I am not sure you can call a template for a specific category. I am sure someone will come along and confirm or deny that shortly. :slight_smile:

In your site structure kotlin is term of taxonomy categories, as I understand Hugo can’t define layout for the one term.

@alexandros . Thanks! This hack works for me. I’ve tried another hack which works as well - Inside /layouts/taxonomy/category.html, I’ve done something like this - {{if eq .Data.Term "kotlin"}} // -- Kotlin Layout here --- {{else}} // -- Generic category layout here --- {{end}}
