Can you either share a link to your repository, or post the full code of what you’ve changed/overridden?

If I was wanting to change a theme made by someone else, I’d override the theme’s /themes/<theme name>/layouts/_default/list.html by putting a copy of that file into /layouts/_default/list.html and editing the copied file.

So you’ve changed the file


in your /themes/santekno-hugo-temple folder?

I think overriding the theme is a better way to go, since that way you can pull in any improvements to the theme from the developer, without losing your changes.

But that doesn’t necessarily explain why your changes to the theme aren’t being reflected to your site. Could you link to your full site’s code?
