Markdown files not being shown

[ThGaskin]

Dear all,

I have created a website using Hugo and built my own theme. Several of my content pages are markdown files, and I’m displaying a preview of them on the main index page:

The previews all work fine, with titles and images being displayed correctly, but when I click on the “learn more” link underneath the small preview, I get a blank page, with only the header and footer partials displayed:

I have no idea why this is: the permalinks seem correct, I’ve tried modifying the baseURL, playing around with various settings in the config.toml and _index.md files, all to no avail. Can anyone help? The code can be found here.

Thanks for your help! I’ve only been using Hugo for a week, so I’m fairly new.

Hello Thomas,

The content files under /featured/ all have type: feature set in their frontmatter.

In Hugo feature is not the same as featured.

Therefore said content files do not use the template under themes/utopia/layouts/featured/single.html but instead default to layouts/_default/single.html which is an empty template.

That is why these pages are rendered empty.

To fix change the type parameter of the above content files to featured.
