Hiding a page from the posts list

[dsebastien]

Hello,

Thanks for the nice theme.
I'm trying to hide a page from the posts list.

I've tried moving it out of the posts folder but it is still listed on the home page.
I've also tried adding "hidden: true" to the front matter, but it didn't go away either.

I'm not too sure I understand everything in here: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/unwanted-pages-show-up-in-my-list-view/6656
But it looks like the theme should check for whether the hidden flag is set to true or false; is it done by this theme?

Any help is appreciated :)

Hi @dsebastien,

many thanks for your kind words. To hide some pages from the list in the homepage, you should carefully choose their content types. For instance, for my blog, I chose type: "about" for the "About" page to be excluded from the home page. Then I can write the following code:

  <div class="posts">
    {{ range (where .Data.Pages "Type" "<>" "about").GroupBy "Section" }}
    {{ range .Pages }}
      <div class="post">
        <h1 class="post-title"><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></h1>
        <span class="post-date">
          {{ .Date.Format (.Site.Params.dateformat | default "Jan 02, 2006") }}
        </span>
          {{ .Summary }}
        {{ if .Truncated }}
        <div class="read-more-link">
            <a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Read More…</a>
        </div>
        {{ end }}
        </div>
        {{ end }}
     {{ end }}
  </div>

In case you want to exclude more types, then the syntax of {{ range where ...}} must be changed. For example, please have a look at the code for my blog where I want to exclude "About" and "Porfolio" too.

  <div class="posts">
    {{ range (where .Data.Pages "Type" "not in" (slice "about" "portfolio")).GroupBy "Section" -}}
    {{ range .Pages }}
      <div class="post">
        <h1 class="post-title"><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>{{ if .Draft }}<sup> <i class="fas fa-pen-square fa-xs"></i></sup>{{ end }}</h1>
        <span class="post-date">
          {{- .Date.Format (.Site.Params.dateformat | default "Jan 02, 2006") -}}
        </span>
          {{ .Summary }}
        {{- if .Truncated }}
        <div class="read-more-link">
            <a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Read More…</a>
        </div>
        {{- end }}
        </div>
        {{- end -}}
     {{- end }}
  </div>

Hope this helps.
