Hide a Page in Hugo

Option 1: Draft

The simplest way to hide a page when using Hugo is probably to set the post as a draft. This way, you still have the content ready to go for when you need it.

To hide a page by setting it as draft, so our drafts page:

Option 2: Hide from Posts List

You still want the page to be visible, but you don’t want to show it your blog posts list? Then we can stop the theme from rendering that summary.

This will most likely change per theme.

/themes/{theme-name}/layout/index.html

1

{{ range (.Paginate .Site.RegularPages).Pages }}
    {{ if ne .Title "My Post Title to Ignore" }} 
        {{ .Render "summary" }}
    {{ end }}
{{ end }}

This will skip over any post named “My Post Title to Ignore”. We used an if statement and said where post title is not equals to x.

Find any better ways? Let us know in the comments.

  • Change a URL on a Post (While Preserving SEO) –
    If you use Hugo, we’ve all been there: create a post, give it a url - spell something wrong in the url, doh! This post hopes to explain how you can change the URL of a post, while preserving the SEO benefits associated with it. We can do this, by changing the URL on the post to what we want then setting up an alias for the old url. This was existing traffic and Google still know what’s going on and will treat it as the same page.
  • Working with Draft Posts –
    Hugo has a built in mechanism for draft postings. This allows you to work on a post and not publish it until you are ready. Great for when you’re dipping in and out of writing.
  • Add Word Count & Estimated Reading Time to Posts –
    It’s all the trend these days to add “reading time” or a word count on your blog posts to indicate how big they are. We often add a word count as it’s super easy to add to your Hugo site (except we don’t on this site - oops!) Word Count We can use word counts in our theme template. We’ve shown the likely file below, but might change based on your theme and setup.
