See [this FAQ](https://gohugo.io/troubleshooting/faq/#why-do-i-see-page-not-found-when-visiting-the-home-page) and the three after it.
```plaintext
mv content/index.md content/_index.md
```
Also:
- Remove the following front matter from all files: `layout`, `type`
- Add some front matter to `content/tags/_index.md` (the file shouldn’t be empty)
- Use either `hugo.toml` or `config/_default/hugo.toml` (not both)
- Fix your content structure
Current:
```plaintext
content/
├── Challenges/
│ ├── OnlyHacks/
│ │ └── OnlyHacks.md
│ └── _index.md
├── HTB/
│ └── index.md
├── Maquinas/
│ ├── Dog/
│ │ └── dog.md
│ ├── Topology/
│ │ └── topology.md
│ └── _index.md
├── tags/
│ └── _index.md
└── index.md
```
Expected:
```plaintext
content/
├── challenges/
│ ├── _index.md
│ └── onlyhacks.md
├── htb/
│ └── _index.md
├── maquinas/
│ ├── _index.md
│ ├── dog.md
│ └── topology.md
├── tags/
│ └── _index.md
└── _index.md
```
A directory with an `_index.md` is a branch bundle (a.k.a. “section”) and can have descendants.
A directory with an `index.md` file is a leaf bundle and has no descendants.
