Config folder

Using Themes
1

Hello,
Per the hugo documenation I set up a config folder the following way:

config
└── _default
    ├── hugo.yaml
    └── params.yaml

but that only applied the config for my hugo.yaml, but my params.yaml which contains the params config is not being applied. I use the LoveIt theme, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Have you tried this configuration?

config
└── _default
    ├── config.yaml
    └── params.yaml

Despite the fact that Hugo had changed the name of the main of the config file (Configure Hugo | Hugo) you can try to rename your hugo.yaml to config.yaml.

By the way if you can share your code (on a Git repository) it will be easier to help you.

Hey thanks for your response, yes I just tried your suggestion:

config
└── _default
    ├── config.yaml
    └── params.yaml

but that did not work either, I welcome more suggestions. thanks again

Please post the content of the file.

the content of my params.yaml is listed below, but keep in mind that when I move that content into my hugo.yaml, it works so I assume the syntax is fine:

  defaultTheme: "auto"
  # public git repo URL only then enableGitInfo is true

Works for me using your content above.

{{ warnf "%s" site.Params.header.desktopMode }} --> fixed

If you need further assistance you’ll need to share your repo.

ok thanks, here is my repo:

I kept the config structure above and params.yaml is not implemented when structured this way

The params.yaml that you pasted above does not match the file in your repository.

Remove the “params:” bit at the top of your file.

Thank you so much jmooring, that was a thorn in my foot and now it is gone.
