‘Pinning’ an article depends on how a theme is implemented.

You’re right in that `weight` will put an article at the top. But if a theme uses different ordering, then it ignores the weight.

What kind of theme are you using?

This question is a bit OT and too generic, since “pinning an article” can be done in a number of ways.

I suggest that you open a GitHub issue in the theme repo of hugo-nuo with a feature request.

In GitHub, there is no answer; the answer using Google search is invalid, so I have to ask here, I hope to find the simplest answer

I don’t think this theme supports _pinning_ articles.

So bring this feature to the theme, you’d start by modifying the order posts are displayed on the front page
