Removing the folder name from the article link

support
1

My folder construction is as follows:

image

This is the content of what-is-a-webmaster.md file:

---
title: What is a Webmaster?
slug: what-webmaster
---

Although I set the slug value to what-webmaster, the link to my article is as follows:

https://example.com/webmaster/what-webmaster/

The reason why my article is in the webmaster folder is to create a layout of my own, but it adds the folder name /webmaster/ to the link of my article without my request.

How can I remove the /webmaster/ folder from my article link?

If you want to do the same thing for all pages in the webmaster folder, set permalinks in the site configuration.

[permalinks]

post = "/:slug/"

I tried that but it didn’t work.

[permalinks]
webmaster = "/:slug/"

This works fine.

If I want to do this to all folders, what should I put in the word webmaster?

[permalinks]
webmaster = "/:slug/"
seo = "/:slug/"
books = "/:slug/"

The permalinks setting applies to regular pages, not section pages. To set the URL for section pages, you will need to set the url in front matter.

There’s an open issue about this:

[permalinks]

[permalinks.page]
posts = "/:slug/"

[permalinks.section]
posts = "/:slug/"

This is how it is used in the link you mentioned, but when I start hugo, I get an error like this:

It is an open issue. As in, it has not been implemented.
