Installation

First clone the theme to your themes directory:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus.git

Take a look inside the exampleSite folder of this theme. You'll find a file called config.toml.

To use it, copy the config.toml in the root folder of your Hugo site. Feel free to change strings as you like to customize your website.

And you may replace your site archetypes/default.md with hugo-theme-cactus-plus/exampleSite/archetypes/default.md

For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.

Example Site

Posts Summary

Summary will show follow the post title title in home page.

And if you want to use description property that in post's fromt matter to instated of post's content summary, set useDescriptionReplaceSummary = true.

To use the content summary, you may add the <!--more--> summary divider where you want to split the article alternatively. For org content, use # more where you want to split the article. Content that comes before the summary divider will be used as that content’s summary.By default, Hugo automatically takes the first 70 words of your content as its summary.

About page

Use the about page to introduce yourself to your visitors. You can customize the content as you like in the /content/about/_index.md.

Avatar

Furthermore, you should replace the avatar placeholder with a great image of yourself.

Hide pages

Pages can be hidden and don't appear in the post list on the homepage if you add the variable hidden = true to the frontmatter. This allows you to link from elsewhere, i.e. just the menu.

Disqus

This theme features a comment system powered by Disqus. Just add your Disqus-shortname to the config.toml and set enableDisqus = true, then let readers respond to your blog posts.

Social link icons

You can add a social link panel in the footer by adding entries to the social block in the config.toml. You can choose between two icon fonts:

• Font awesome or
• Mono social icons

Assign either font-awesome or mono-social to the iconFont variable. The Mono social icons offer three styles of icons: -circle, rounded, or default (empty).

Nearly finished

In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server.

$ hugo server

Now enter localhost:1313 in the address bar of your browser.
