Your help or insights are very welcomed

The beauty of taxonomies is that you don’t create its content manually; they are derived from the content front-matter.

You may choose to add some content and front-matter to the taxonomyTerm pages (example.com/tags/) or taxonomy pages (example.com/tags/my-tag/) using _index.md, but that’s a different topic.

So, in general, you don’t create any tags folder in the content directory.

Have you gone through the Taxonomies doc:

There are many examples for that for both taxonomyTerm and taxonomy Kind pages:


It’s useful to understand the Page Kinds for taxonomy templating.

thank you for the answer i have already read all of the information you have posted.

but how do you create a template for displaying the taxonomies ? do you create a taxonomie section in the layout folder, and then create a list.html page within that folder ?

nevermind i think i found a way to solve my problem

I wish this topic do some help to you.

Perhaps this helps. I wrote this down when I tested Hugo’s Template Lookup Order. You’ll find some possibilities to select exactly the template you want for a certain page.

Hope this helps.
