I have a problem where my tag and category index pages are full of all posts, not the correct posts for that topics. From reading documentation and this forum I suspect it might be a theme problem. That said I cannot seem to find where the problem might be; I don’t know enough of hugo for this. I’ve tried looking for tracing style options to “get inside” how hugo and the theme is running, but I cannot seem to get inside. Could anybody send me pointers on where I start looking? I think I’m asking for hugo internals and/or theme internals. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I just updated Hugo to Hugo Static Site Generator v0.72.0/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown and I’m using the hugo-now-ui theme.
Hey @damien1 thanks for the reply. First, it never occurred to me that tags/categories might be optional for a theme to support. When I look at the third post markdown in the exampleSite posts directory I do see both. Second, I’ve not had success in getting a response from the theme author (at least, an issue I opened last year has had no response, and I’ve not pursued the author further.) That said, somewhat amazed (since I am just hacking about/guessing wildly) I’ve managed to copy the ./themes/hugo-now-ui/layouts/_default/list.html to ./themes/hugo-now-ui/layouts/_default/taxonomy.html (which I found in another theme) and edit the paginator to {{ $paginator := .Paginate .Pages }} … to get the correctly filtered posts for tags/categories. Seems to work.
I also found that by editing ./themes/hugo-now-ui/layouts/_default/terms.html I could add a / to the end of taxonomy pages, which I need for my hosting on AWS.
Dumb luck on my part, and/or smart/well named layout design by Hugo, but I’m grateful for the outcome.
That said, I was really hoping for some sort of --trace or something that verbosely listed the files Hugo was looking for and/or using to render each content page. That said, I’m good for now.
