Content directory:

```auto
content
  angular
    get-started.md
  reactjs
    get-started.md

```

index.html:

```
{{ range .Pages }}
<section class="post">
	<header class="post-header">
		<h2 class="post-title"><a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></h2>
	</header>
	<div class="post-description">
		<p>{{.Summary}}</p>
	</div>
</section>
{{ end }}

```

In my opinion, the home page should list all the pages(`/angular/get-started` and `reactjs/get-starated` in my case), however it list the `angular` and `reactjs`:

What’s going on?

Also, why it add the `s` after the directory name `angular`?

There was a breaking change in Hugo 0.57.0 that affected the homepage/index page collection.

You can look it up in the release notes and [this issue](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes/issues/682)

That is what’s going on.

By the way the best source for Hugo themes is the [Hugo Showcase](https://themes.gohugo.io/) always up-to-date with themes that work with the latest version of Hugo.

And the best way to learn Hugo are the always up-to-date [Hugo Docs](https://gohugo.io/documentation/)

Not some random video or theme from 2017.

Thanks for your reply.

But the hugo docs I found [here](https://gohugo.io/templates/homepage/) does not mention the `.Site.RegularPages`. Also the video I followed is provided by [hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/).

Thank you anyway, the problem have been solved.

Thanks for pointing out the above.

I’m not maintaining or contributing to the Hugo Docs myself as my available time goes towards maintaining other repositories of the project.

But I am notifying some people at the bottom of this post about the outdated documentation regarding the Homepage Pages Collection located over here:

> **[Homepage Template](https://gohugo.io/templates/homepage/)**
>
> The homepage of a website is often formatted differently than the other pages. For this reason, Hugo makes it easy for you to define your new site's homepage as a unique template.

`.Pages` needs to become `.Site.RegularPages`

And the [outdated video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnJbPO-GFIw&feature=emb_title) from Giraffe Academy probably needs to be removed from [here](https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/) as well.
