Home page issue

[adamj-codethink]

Hi there,

loving this theme, thanks for the work!

I'm having an issue where i have a home defined:

[[menu.main]]
name = "Home"
identifier = "home"
weight = 100
url = "/"

I also have an empty index.md file

However the index.html layout is not loading?

I'd like a home page that shows the most recent blog posts.

Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated

Hi just an update my website is hosted here: https://adamjones.website/

I would like my "About" page to appear automatically when the websites starts, but if i create a index.md and add the markdown from my about page, the site navigation fails?

Hey,

A quick update.

Setting type: post on my posts fixed this issue.

The index page now appears correctly listing my latest blog posts.

I'd still be interested to know if i could remove that and just have a satic text page as the default root page though.

Thanks

Hi Adam,

anatole comes with a custom archtype called post. If you create a new post by issuing the following command hugo new post\foo.md it will be automatically of type post and also appear on the frontpage.

Do I understand you correctly, that you want to use another site other than the index.html as your homepage? In this case you would have to patch the index.html with the single.html:

hugo new _index.md
cd themes/anatole/layouts
rm index.html
cp _default/single.html index.html

Hope this helps.
