This post is related to the previous one about changing a theme in Hugo. After I changed the theme to “PaperMod”, I realized that each article or blog post is under ‘post/date’ URL path. For example, the following is the permanent link/path of a post:
https://blog.khmersite.net/post/2023/06/changing-hugo-theme/
Previously, there was no word post in the URL path, and I still want it gone again with this new theme, as below.
https://blog.khmersite.net/2023/06/changing-hugo-theme/
The problem is, I forgot how it was done!
After digging into Hugo’s configuration, it turned out that it was quite easy. All I need to do was to update the Hugos’ configuration file (e.g. config.yml or config.toml) to include the following lines:
permalinks:
post: /:year/:month/:filename/ # 'post' must matches the directory name under content/post
Note, if you use config.toml, refer to the document at [1] for the correct syntax for permalinks.
