According to Quickstart guide, I can use “hugo server --theme=hyde --buildDrafts” to run the hugo site with the theme that I wanted. But I already have a web server on my host machine so all I want is just to generate the static site with the theme. I look at the files under /public/ folder. I foun…

There’ a few things (you probably know some of them already). as @RickCogley said, you need to download the themes from github. How to do that is in the documentation in ‘installing themes’ (post again if that process isn;t clear). when you use a theme it does not create a theme folder in ‘p…

I downloaded the theme. That’s why when I run hugo server. I can see the hugo blog with theme. But when I launch Index.html from public folder, I don’t see the theme. I will try what @mikeaja suggested. Thanks!

Hi @mikeaja I tried runing ““hugo --theme=hyde --buildDrafts””. but when I double-click on “public/index.html” then I don’t see the blog with theme. Yes. I have themes downloaded under theme folder. Do I need to manually edit the “public/index.html” to link with theme?

There are very likely others with more experience than me who can help better. [image] michaelsync: but when I double-click on “public/index.html” then I don’t see the blog with theme I don’t understand this part. What is there will be the result of what is used from the theme, what is in yo…

The double click part doesn’t work out of the box … This has to do with the reference to external resources (stylesheets etc.). You need to run it on a server (or use relativeURLS=true should also work… but that is outside scope of this question).

Thanks @mikeaja [image] mikeaja: I don’t understand this part. What is there will be the result of what is used from the theme, what is in your project’s ‘layouts’ folder I don’t change anything. I followed quickstart to create the site and post. and downloaded the theme. I tested the site b…

@bep Thanks for the confirmation! Is there any way to make it work? My main concern is that I don’t want “hugo server” to host my blog. I already have the web server. Or, I like to upload all static contents (the whole blog) to CDN so I don’t need the hugo webserver. Thanks!

[image] michaelsync: My main concern is that I don’t want “hugo server” to host my blog. I already have the web server. Not sure if I’m missing something here. Hugo creates static sites. You could develop and build sites with Hugo without ever having to use the ‘server’. It is there just to m…

@mikeaja Let me try again. As @bep mentioned, the double click part doesn’t work out of the box. I think I might be missing something as well. My goal is to generate the site and host all those static contents (post, html, js, css, images and etc.) on CDN or S3 or Azure blog storage. I am very ne…

Did you download that theme to your project folder?

Where is my public folder?
