Hi guys.
Finally I’ve migrated my Wordpress blog to Hugo. Finding the ideal theme was the hardest part.
Here it’s: pushevs.com
I especially like the recent/featured posts widget in the sticky sidebar. The theme developer is also very knowledgeable and helpful, which made my decision easier.
What I like:
- It’s now super fast with clean code
- I’m now using AVIF image format
- Backups and restores are easy with git
- No worries about getting the Wordpress database hacked
- Free hosting with Cloudflare Pages
Some improvements to be made:
- Get disqus work with dark mode or simply replace it with giscus and lose all comments…
- Fix all broken links (internal and external)
- Get back to write articles every week
Wordpress and Hugo have different ways to translate post titles to url paths, I will take some time to fix all internal links.
For example in Wordpress we get:
Title: Battery energy density now reached 200 Wh/kg
URL: date/battery-energy-density-now-reached-200-wh-kg
In Hugo we get:
Title: Battery energy density now reached 200 Wh/kg
URL: date/battery-energy-density-now-reached-200-wh/kg
Wordpress replaces the slash with a hyphen.
Anyway, I welcome any suggestions and feedback to make the website better. Thanks!
