Plugin Configuration

Third-Party Plugins

You can add or remove third-party plugins from config.toml file. We create a loop for plugins. You can see two plugins loops here, the first one is for css, and the last one is for js.

Sometimes you need to close the Hugo server and run again for rendered correctly.

CSS plugins

[[params.plugins.css]]
link = "https://cdn.examplesite.com/your-plugin.css"
attributes = "your-attributes" # optional field

js plugins

[[params.plugins.js]]
link = "https://cdn.examplesite.com/your-plugin.js"
attributes = "your-attributes" # optional field
  • [[menu.main]] is the main menu loop, you can add your navigation item by copy and pasting this line.
  • name attribute is for navigation item name.
  • URL is for the page url, just give the page name here, it will automatically add the base URL from your site. like if you want to give the about page url here, just type about .
  • weight is for your navigation sorting, the smaller number weight will show first.

This theme comes with two configurable menus:

[[menu.main]]
[[menu.footer]]

Parameter Configuration

Most parameters in the [params] section of your configuration are commented. You can change the basic setup of the theme and add information or enable/disable features.
