Okay, let’s get into it..
I had my time trying to find what is the issue!! (like around 3 days).
But nothing happen as I wanted!
To be honest, I am no developer or programmer, but I really wanted to create a website with the most easy way with an #OpenSourceTools. Plus, I didn’t want to use drag and drop websites cause I want to gain a bit knowledge how websites work. I have been struggling over the past year to create my website with #HugoStack; time was not on my side becasue of work and studies. I needed to be focused and free which is exactly what I have now.
And for my awesome luck, I have a brother who knows things about creating website and coding, he was the one who told me about github and hugo. “I won’t say much, but he takes a bit of credit for helping me with this :P”.
The issue was that I needed to covert YAML to TOML, and guess what happens when this saying describes you correctly. “You Know Nothing John Snow”. Yet, when I was trying I used the same solution my bro did, but it did not work with me as always he has the magical touch :/ of coding.
Also, from him I’ve heard! That YAML and TOML are everyone’s headache; I am not the only one. But me happily and with my bro aid, my website is ready and good to go.
The Problem:
-
(about, archive, and coffee me page) in the main sidebar was not apperaring on my localhost.
-
Sidebar pic was not apperaring also!
The Solution:
[menu]
[[menu.social]]
identifier= 'youtube'
name= 'YouTube'
weight= 1
url= ''
[menu.social.params]
icon= 'youtube'
[[menu.main]]
identifier= "home"
name= "Home"
url= "/"
weight= -3
pre= "home"
[menu.main.params]
### For demonstration purpose, the home link will be open in a new tab
newTab= false
For sidebar pic to show up use this path and save the pic in this dirctory.
[ /home/user/Desktop/blog/yoursitename/themes/hugo-theme-stack/assets/img ]
This is an example to anyone who is suffering like me.
That’s all, have fun.
