Your content isn't showing because it is a draft

tips & tricks

If you content isn’t showing up as a single page, in an RSS feed, or on the sitemap, maybe it is set as a draft. Check your front matter real quick.

An alternative is trying to build with the drafts:

draft

if true , the content will not be rendered unless the --buildDrafts flag is passed to the hugo command.

As @rdwatters notes:

I love this tip, haha. Probably worth noting too, especially for Hugo newbs, that the default archetype that comes with creating a new site from the CLI has “draft = true” in case you find this to be a recurring issue :smile:

Made a wiki, and added a paraphrase. :slight_smile:

The best thing is, you can link to https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/your-content-isnt-showing-because-it-is-a-draft/14585 in the forums, and it becomes the sentence in the title! We should make all our tips like that, for easy link dropping. :slight_smile:
