{{% warning "Use Absolute Links" %}} If you're creating a theme with plans to share it on the Hugo Themes website please note the following:
- If using inline styles you will need to use absolute URLs, for the linked assets to be served properly, e.g.
<div style="background: url('{{ "images/background.jpg" | absURL }}')">
- Make sure not to use a forward slash
/
in the beginning of aURL
, because it will point to the host root. Your theme's demo will be available in a subdirectory of the Hugo website and in this scenario Hugo will not generate the correctURL
for theme assets. - If using external CSS and JS from a CDN, make sure to load these assets over
https
. Please do not use relative protocol URLs in your theme's templates. {{% /warning %}}
Hugo can initialize a new blank theme directory within your existing themes
using the hugo new
command:
hugo new theme [name]
Theme Folders
A theme component can provide files in one or more of the following standard Hugo folders:
- layouts
- Templates used to render content in Hugo. Also see Templates Lookup Order.
- static
- Static files, such as logos, CSS and JavaScript.
- i18n
- Language bundles.
- data
- Data files.
- archetypes
- Content templates used in
hugo new
.
Theme Configuration File
A theme component can also provide its own Configuration File, e.g. config.toml
. There are some restrictions to what can be configured in a theme component, and it is not possible to overwrite settings in the project.
The following settings can be set:
params
(global and per language)menu
(global and per language)outputformats
andmediatypes
Theme Description File
In addition to the configuration file, a theme can also provide a theme.toml
file that describes the theme, the author and origin etc. See Add Your Hugo Theme to the Showcase.
{{% note "Use the Hugo Generator Tag" %}}
The .Hugo.Generator
tag is included in all themes featured in the Hugo Themes Showcase. We ask that you include the generator tag in all sites and themes you create with Hugo to help the core team track Hugo's usage and popularity.
