Add categories/tags to front matter and they will be displayed on
summary and post pages, with links to taxonomy pages. Example:
+++
date = "2016-09-24T21:28:31+03:00"
title = "Post title"
categories = ["Nature"]
tags = ["Wetland", "Oasis"]
+++
For some reason if you add tags singularly, like:
categories = "Nature"
you get index errors from Hugo. Not sure if I need to parse the
tags differently or just add more logic to test if the terms are
singular or not.
Check if the params.sidebar is defined before checking to see if
params.sidebar.hide is true or false. New sites might not have
their config set up properly, so this avoids an error in the case
that params.sidebar isn't defined yet.
Advertises the XML sitemap and allows all user agents, but is only
enabled if the site sets this property in their config:
enableRobotsTXT = true
See: https://gohugo.io/extras/robots-txt/
By default they are on, but you can disable them by adding the
following configuration value:
[params.sharingicons]
hide = true
If this parameter is undefined (or "false") then the icons will be
shown. Furthermore, you can disable specific icons by setting their
value to "false", ie:
[params.sharingicons]
facebook = false
Any icons not named will be shown. Currently there a four icons
configureg: facebook, googleplus, linkedin, and twitter.
Uses basic data like title, description, author, and date that we
are using with existing vanilla meta tags, but extends them to OG
and Twitter Card tags. See [0] and [1].
For the Twitter summary cards specifically, you can optionally add
attribution for your username by adding something like this to your
configuration:
[params.social]
twitter_username = "@mralanorth"
... and for posts with images, you can specify an "image" in the
post's front matter like so:
image = "/2016/09/IMG_20160916_174409.jpg"
And then the theme will opt to use Twitter's "large" summary card.

Still need to figure out how to determine which page we're on so we
can set the "active" class accordingly (for Home we have the IsHome
variable the we can check).
Both work effectively the same for my use case, but the "type" is
more obvious when looking at the code. See the documentation for
Hugo's page variables for more info[0].

Use the post's author from frontmatter, or else use the author from
the site's config. You MUST have one of these set or else you will
get an error during site generation. I think it's better to force
the user to define an author tag rather than only printing it if
it is defined because it is a good practice to help bots understand
content.
