  1. favicon is for your website favicon. Place your favicon in the assets/images folder and put the path here.
  2. logo is for your website logo. Place your logo in the assets/images folder and put the path here.
  3. description is for your default meta description. It shows on your homepage and other pages that have no meta description on this page front-matter.
  4. author is for the website author name. It is used in the meta author tag.
  5. contact_form_action is for activate your contact form. As Hugo generates a static site, so you need to activate this form by a third-party service. You can use any of them Airform, formspree, or Formsubmit. Go to any of the sites that you preferred, and get your form action from there. Then, paste it here. If you use Airform, your form action will be like this: https://airform.io/your@email.com.
  6. preloader is for your website preloader, which means it will show up until your website loads properly in the background. You can enable or disable preloader by setting the value of enable as true or false. If you want to put any image, logo, or animation as your preloader, give the file location in the preloader =, ex: preloader = images/preloader.gif. If you don’t want any logo or image, leave the preloader field empty. So it will show just a white screen when every component is loading.
  7. social is a loop item for your website’s social icons. You can add a loop item by following the existing loop. We are using Font Awesome icon pack for this theme. You can choose more icons from here
  1. navigation button outline is for border navigation button, you can enable or disable it.

  2. navigation button solid is for solid navigation button, you can enable or disable it.
