Hello everyone! New Hugo user here :slight_smile: I am struggling to understand how the parent-child relationship between content files is established. I read through the documentation and the board, but I couldn’t find a thorough explanation anywhere. I am trying to create a simple menu with sub-…

Hello everyone! I managed to obtain a flexible and clean solution through the following. Ensure every .md file to be listed in the menu has its explicit menu structure definition in its frontmatter: menu: main: parent: 'your_menu_parent' The parent ‘your_menu_parent’ must match either a .Na…

Hi Michele, Unfortunately, I’m not someone with a bit more experience. Quite the obvious – I’m someone who is stuck on the exact same problem. I have been going through the Hugo documentation / tutorial in order and all seems fine and then the “menu” page is where I’ve gotten stuck. There seems …

Hi there, [image] maikewng: I am trying to obtain a “portfolio” entry an the “entry1” and “entry2” sub-entries. From the documentation it seems that I have to express such relationship in the frontmatter of each entry (weird, shouldn’t it be straightforward from the folder structure?) and I wro…

Taking the example in the docs here: https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/#add-non-content-entries-to-a-menu menu: main: # 1 - identifier: about # 2 name: about hugo url: /about/ ... - name: getting started # 3 url: /get…

[image] rwan: From there, I know the menu comes from the top-level config.toml file and/or the front matter of the pages in question. (The “and/or” is where I am stuck…I can’t tell from the documentation whether you need to make a change to one or both. The documentation implies “or”…if so, then…

[image] maikewng: make this template logic recursive, which would allow to have unlimited sub-menu levels. You could try this technique: Menu with unlimited levels

So, an important thing to realize is that in Hugo, a “Hugo Menu” is a particular “thing” (think object) – it will not act like a Page (or Section) will. We make Hugo Menus either through the site config or via a “Lazy Blogger” method (i.e. within page front matter), these Hugo Menus can then be use…

[image] maikewng: I don’t think it is necessary to set anything in config.toml (or .yaml). I used to, but removing menu-related settings still keeps the menu working. Thanks for the follow-up! Good to see what you ended up doing! Indeed, I realised that you don’t have to add anything to the…
