Sorry if I cannot explain this correctly, basically I have the following order in content:

```
D:.
│ aboud.md
│ _index.md
│
├───lists
│ f-droid.md
│ _index.md
│
└───post
        Introduction2021.md
        _index.md

```

However when I serve the page, lists is shown up in the main blog instead of post, I want to “hide” lists folder and be only accesible in the navigation bar (which I have done already)

How do I “hide” lists folder from showing up? I appreciate any answer, I would also like to add I am using the notepadium theme. I also have added “headless: true” in index of lists but nothing happens…

Can you please post a link to the public repository for your project?

See [https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132).

> Include a **link to the source code repository** of your project, because we really need the _context_ of seeing your templates and partials to be able to help you. It is trivial to do a quick `git clone` on your repo, then run `hugo server` in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.
> 
> If you can’t share your repository for whatever reason, consider creating a dummy repo that you _can_ share, which reproduces the problem you’re experiencing.

Add this to config.toml, just beneath `[params]`:

```auto
mainSections = "posts"

```

It works now! thank you 🙂 just for reference where is this located on the Hugo docs? I have been trying to read them but I feel a bit lost

This was not in the documentation. It is an idiosyncrasy of the theme.
