And if you had followed the context of the conversation, OP was asked to share there site but they refused. So, they could not be assisted by guesswork, hence the direction to check the docs.
With that attitude and language, I doubt anyone here would be willing to help you. The docs are a reference point, and Hugo encourages users to learn by trial and error Requesting Help.
It is, if the beginner is willing to put in the work. It is even stated in the requesting help guidelines. I don’t know why your choice, as you said, is to copy code blindly.
And I told you that you were just overriding internal templates while the simpler way is to just call them directly in your templates (even though you ignored looking at the theme you are using to see that the code was indeed there). But you chose to ignore my advice and instead rant about other things 
I doubt if I pasted your code it would work.
Anyway, I would advise you to open a new topic if you have a problem with anything Hugo, as this is an old topic that is about to be archived.
