There are a couple of previous posts on here from 2016 about this, and it doesn’t appear that the documentation has ever been updated. I found some (unpublished?) documentation inside the Github repo for Hugo by searching for “author” that shines some light on this, but it’s still not clear to me h…

Update 2024-03-31T13:59:45-07:00 The .Site.Author method and configuration key were deprecated in Hugo v0.124.0 and will be removed in a future release. Use a site parameter or an “authors” taxonomy instead. The only thing that has been implemented is .Site.Author (singular). In config.toml, you…

[image] Tristor: Let’s assume I’m willing to create the scaffolding of per-author profiles, and I use the authors array in post front matter to reference these identifiers. I am not understanding where the per-author profiles get their layout templating from? You would need to set a layout or…

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that thread shows several people are using a taxonomy for authors, which is a method I’m familiar with from my earlier searching. The main reason I don’t want to do this is that even in support multi-authorship, it should cleanly failback and support a primary author. …

Just bumped into this thread while searching for " .Site.Author ". I understand there is not support for Authors? Then what does this part of the docs refer to? [image] [image] Site Variables Many, but not all, site-wide variables are defined in your site's configuration. However, Hugo…

That’s pretty much what my question is, as well. There’s no documentation I can find that provides an example of what the configuration should look like.

Well, I’ve more or less figured out that the internal RSS template (for index.xml) uses the .Site.Author.name and .Site.Author.email variables. That’s all I’ve been able to find. You need to add this to the config for RSS: [author] name = "Your Name" email = "you@yourdomain.com" [image] R…

I wonder if @bep or @digitalcraftsman or @alexandros could clarify the .Site.Author .Site.Authors thing. In particular, in hugoBasicExample there is: baseURL = "https://gohugo.io" title = "Hugo Themes" author = "Steve Francia" copyright = "Copyright © 2008–2019, Steve Francia and the Hugo Authors…

[image] jmooring: The key names ( name and location in the example above) are irrelevant. Well, not exactly. The default RSS template uses some hardcoded keys.

Also for multiple authors users can define them in a project’s config like so: [author] authors = [ {name = "Alex", location = "GR"}, {name = "John", location = "US"} ] Then call the authors’ list from the template like so: {{ range site.Author.authors }} <p>{{ .name }} in {{ .location }}</p> …

@alexandros @digitalcraftsman Given that author = "Joe Designer" is wrong, should I file a bug (or corrective PR) against the hugoBasicExample repo, as it currently uses exactly that (wrong) construct? I think most people gave up on trying to get that to work, so have either [params] which duplic…

The author parameter was entered in the hugoBasicExample config 7 years ago by the original Hugo creator. It appears that sometime later, the author parameter was changed into a map. I haven’t really paid attention to it, because I never needed to. @cshoredaniel Yes, I think that you should send …
