Change URL path

[jamesdeluk]

Is it possible to change the URL?

For example, currently it is:

www.mywebsite.com/posts/category/sub-category/my-post

Is it possible to drop the categories and make it simply:

www.mywebsite.com/posts/my-post

?

Failing that, can I set up redirects? It would be a lot more complicated but it's better than nothing.

Thanks!

I have the same issue with you dude. The URL is a bit long and complex. :-(

Oh, that was simpler than I thought. It's a Hugo thing, not a theme thing.

To config.yaml, add:

permalinks:
  page:
    /: ':section/:slugorfilename'

More detail: https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/#permalinks

I suggest adding it to the template.

Interestingly, the long URL (with cats/sub-cats) still seems to work too.

thx that makes more sense. I will try that.
