As can be seen on the demo page, a post without specified date frontmatter still shows "0001-01-01" as its date.
This is reproducable using this theme and a simple post under hugo 0.36.1:

---
title: Demo
---
This post does not specify date.

It seems that date now has a default value of 0 instead of nil. This can be checked using {{ printf "%#v" .Params.date }}.

1. 想给标签做个说明^[类似WordPress那种]，怎么做？
2. logo怎么加上？

Hi Yihui,

I followed your protocol to generate a new site using blogdown::new_site( theme = "yihui/hugo-xmin" ), which produces the website in the "Viewer" pane. However, I encountered the following problem: when I navigate to "Categories -> Example", there is an error

Not found:
./categories/Example

I identified the source of the problem: it was because the folder names under public/categories/ are all lower-cased, even though some of the category names in the YAML header has their first letter capitalized. Since I don't fully understand how hugo generates the pages with lists of posts, I don't know how I can solve this problem.

Thanks!

Is there a real difference between a "note" and a "post" in this theme?

I am not seeing any, but if there is it would be nice to document it.
If there isn't, maybe it would be a good idea to remove?

Thanks!

Hugo 0.55 deprecates preserveTaxonomyNames . How can I update the theme to make it compatible to this new version?

I covert wordpress xml to md file with your tools "oldblog_xml", then I use blogdown to format html files, but can't format html files.

The MD file look like this,

author: sam
comments: true
date: 2015-04-29 15:56:59+00:00
layout: post
link: http://hugo.qinqianshan.com/wordpress-display-page-plugins-pagenavi/
slug: wordpress-display-page-plugins-pagenavi
title: Wordpress显示分页--插件Pagenavi
wordpress_id: 14
categories:

• Wordpress
  tags:
• Pagenavi
• wordpress
• 显示分页

If I remove " layout" and "slug" ,it will format html files. Because I have 400 md files, if I remove "layout" and "slug" one by one ,it will take long time . Do you have any suggestions to solve this ?

I would like to just have a traditional title with no box encapsulating it.

Which changes will I have to make? #

I did some research on Taxonomy Template of hugo, and tried to add a new variable, taxonomies, in config.toml. But seemingly newly added taxonomies do not appear in the New Post addin panel. Will new taxonomies work anyway?

I'm having issues building this theme any help would be appreciated! thank you!

I'm trying to follow the advice in the blogdown book about SEO: https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/useful-resources.html#helping-people-find-your-site, and am having some trouble getting description tags to work with this theme. What's the right way to do it?

• It looks like if I implement a manual description on a markdown page, it doesn't get placed properly within the <head> tags.

• If I try to add description: to the yaml, it is ignored.

I've been using xmin for my blogdown theme since 2018. I recently updated the theme files because the 2019 version was no longer deploying the netlify correctly, but now my inline footnotes no longer work.

Here is an example page and you can see "^[]" in the text instead of footnotes.

So, I decided to test inline footnote functionality by generating a new xmin site and testing off of that. (I.e., all I did was make a new Rproj and then run blogdown::new_site(theme = "yihui/hugo-xmin")). Inline footnotes do not work when testing. See below screencap.

However, regular footnotes do. See below screencap.

Is there a way to get inline footnotes working again with xmin? Thanks for your help!

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to suppress drafts from being visible under sections.

https://clever-carson-9973e0.netlify.app/

My homepage shows no posts because all of them are drafts, yet, if you go under sections, the posts appear.

Is there anything I can edit in the partials or is this a behavior that can't be changed (in which case I'll have to plan my workflow around it)?

Here's my source code

Thank you!

I found the script "build.R" will always create a README.md at the parent directory of my blog site project. I think it is because of the destination directory is used as ../README.md, and in many conditions the working directory is the project root directory. So that command will then creat a README.md file at the parent directory of the project root directory, which is not intended.

file.copy('content/_index.markdown', '../README.md', overwrite = TRUE)
if (Sys.which('sed') != '') system("sed -i '' -e '1,6d' -e '34,38d' ../README.md")
cat(
  '[![Screenshot](https://github.com/yihui/hugo-xmin/raw/master/images/screenshot.png)](https://xmin.yihui.name)\n',
  file = '../README.md', append = TRUE
)

2. Allison's Blogdown tutorial

I would be interested to see the tutorial. ;)

I've been using the xmin template for ~6 months now. I just went on my website and noticed that the html formatting seemed to not be rendering properly. When I servesite() in Rstudio, it renders correctly and looks great. I am able to push and deploy without any errors, but the website doesn't look like the serve site.

This is what it should look like:

And this is what it looks like when deployed:

Any idea what's wrong? I don't have an error code so I'm not sure how to even begin googling this.

Hi, add information about lastmod in the posts.To get

Updated 2017/06/17

Is it possible to display tags assigned to the post when we read the post, with minimal code writing?

Thanks!

The homepage of an xmin Hugo site contains a list of all posts under all pages. I have some old posts that I don't want to display on the homepage, I was wondering if it was possible to...

1. Limit what pages it includes posts from? (e.g. only include posts from "posts" and exclude "notes".)
2. Limit how long the list is? (probably the easiest?)
3. Remove it altogether?

I would want this to only affect the homepage's list and not to touch the pages own lists.

Thanks! :)

Seemingly this theme does not support Windows OS?

Hello.
By default hugo convert double quotes from " to “. On html code (&ldquo &rdquo).
How can I use default double and single quotes without converting?

Dear Xie
I read the blogdown book I read the recent updates on https://www.r-bloggers.com/2021/01/announcing-blogdown-v1-0/ and congratulations and thank you!
I was going to try out your theme Xmin (latest version), but I cannot find the config.toml file, not even in the ExampleSite directory. I thought you recommended using the config.toml instead of config.yaml, is that recommendation not applicable anymore?
Sorry if this is a silly question. Thank you so much for your receptivity and your excellent work.

EDIT: Ok converted the YAML file into TOML using this site https://www.convertsimple.com/convert-yaml-to-toml/ and carefully reading. Thank you silly problem is solved.

Any suggestions for how to add a search box to the theme?

Specifically what files should I override to create my custom list and single tag pages?

I tried many alternatives, but I wasn't able to customize the single tag page at all.

Is it possible to change all instances of categories to topics?

Thanks,
Adam

I like your hugo-xmin theme very much . I have many categories and some subcategories, how to add subcategories ?

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but the standard Github logo of the original site build no longer seems to render. Yet it still renders on the xmin example site. I have not made any changes to the content folder. Not the end of the world, but couldn't figure it out after poking around for a bit - any suggestions?

Hey,
I'm not interested in singing a CLA so I'll open an issue:

At https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/hugo-xmin/ there is no direct link to the demo site at https://xmin.yihui.org/.

Please add the demosite variable to theme.toml. See https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemesSiteBuilder#theme-configuration.

So that there is a "Demo" button, like at https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/hugo-book/.

Would be very much appreciated!

It looks like the global background- and foreground-color is undefined. Hyperlinks have a background-color but no foreground-color.

I see this code at the bottom of every page:

<script async src="//yihui.name/js/center-img.js"></script>

Yihui, can you give me some tips on modifying your theme? I'd like to put a link in the footer of each blog post that jumps to the next/previous blog post.

single.html can not render success by

<p class="terms">
  {{ range $i := (slice "categories" "tags") }}
  {{ with ($.Param $i) }}
  {{ $i | title }}: 
  {{ range $k := . }}
  <a href='{{ relURL (print "/" $i "/" $k | urlize) }}'>{{$k}}</a> 
  {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
</p>

I'm trying to open a bilingual blog recently. And please forgive my stupid request if you think it's against the minimal idea of this theme.

I tried to use .Rmd to generate figures with captions using R code chunks.

Following lines are used

```{r load data and visualization, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.cap=c("Matrix plot of all variables", "Linear trend of different groups")}
library(tidyverse)
birthsmoke <- read.table("https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat501/sites/onlinecourses.science.psu.edu.stat501/files/data/birthsmokers.txt", header = TRUE)
plot(birthsmoke)
ggplot(birthsmoke, aes(Gest, Wgt, color = Smoke)) +
  geom_point(shape = 1) +
  geom_smooth(method = "glm", se = FALSE) +
  theme_minimal()
```

But unfortunately, the result is not intended (following screenshot). Is it possible to support caption more properly?

在修改了code颜色之后，本地访问是OK的，但是将生成的public文件夹中的静态页面托管到COS上进行访问出现下面的问题

这是HUgo本身问题，还是我托管静态页面的问题，或者主题的问题。
而且在修改了code颜色之后，在某个当前页面是生效的，其他页面是不能生效的

打扰了，但我不知道在哪里可以表达我的喜爱 xx

Please change this to something like https://example.org/. In the Hugo forums we get large number of new users that get in to trouble because they keep this example setting.
