Hello. I have my a Hugo setup with nested contents folder where my contents folder has 4 categories, one of which has a couple of subcategories.

Since each of these subcategories has its own design and posts, I want to be able to edit the tags page instead of having a default one that goes for all the categories. I tried to create a tags folder for one of the subcategories with a list.html file but that didn’t help.

I want the displayed posts to look differently if someone would click on a given tag in recommendations/recipes

When I build your site…

> ERROR render of “taxonomy” failed: “/home/jmooring/temp/mysite/layouts/tags/list.html:17:39”: execute of template failed: template: tags/list.html:17:39: executing “main” at \<.File.BaseFileName\>: error calling BaseFileName: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference  
> Total in 133 ms

There are so many things wrong here I’m not even sure where to begin.

No:

```plaintext
content/blog/
├── Blog_post.png
├── _index.html
├── about.md
├── about.png
├── adnane.md
├── adnane.png
├── autobiography.md
└── blog_post.md

```

Yes (use page bundles):

```auto
content/blog/
├── about/
│ ├── cover.png
│ └── index.md
├── adnane/
│ ├── cover.png
│ └── index.md
├── blog_post/
│ ├── cover.png
│ └── index.md
├── _index.html
└── autobiography.md

```

No:

```auto
<div class="postpicture">
    <img src="/{{ .File.BaseFileName }}.png">
</div>

```

Yes (capture the bundled resource):

```plaintext
<div class="postpicture">
  {{ with .Resources.Get "cover.*" }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
</div>

```

I suggest you get the basics working before worrying about the rest.

Thanks, I will try to adapt this to my workflow.

I am new to hugo though, everything that I could acomplish so far was just by googling things out. Also, are we on the same hugo version ? because I could build my site after cloning the repo and had no errors.

Hello again, yes we were few updates away from each other and your new code wouldn’t work on mine so I had to update. Thanks a lot! I will push the updates on my github later. How do I work on the tags page of recommendations/recipes ?

Hi Applethal, ensure you’re structuring your content correctly. Create a tags folder within the relevant subcategory’s folder, within this tags folder, place a list.html file for customization. If the default structure isn’t working, check your theme’s documentation or modify the theme to support your desired structure. Furthermore, test your changes to ensure the tags page displays as intended for the specific subcategory.
