I’ve been working through this tutorial on how to set up a Hugo website. But I think the wochemy theme install must’ve changed a bit since it was written as i’m struggling to find some of the folders mentioned.

I followed the set up exactly as outlined and have been able to stand up the basic theme, but the customisations are proving challenging to follow. Starting with the main file structure and where to find the config.yaml file mentioned in the ‘Basic Customization’ section of the tutorial, I believe the .yaml file people need to edit is now called hugo.yaml.

Second, later in the same section of the tutorial, the author shares how users can change the theme of their website by going to the datatheme folder and generating a custom_theme.toml file. However, there is no datatheme folder with the current install. The only data folder I found was nested deep in a themes folder (see below).

This is where I have placed the custom_theme.toml file with the suggested contents. I have then followed the instructions around updating the params.yaml file and pushed it to my github repo again — but this has not resulted in any changes.

Ultimately, i’d love to use the same theme as on the tutorial. I got to that point of your post in the section ‘Advanced Customization’ but i’m struggling to understand the instructions here and/or implement them.

I went to the github page, downloaded the entire repo as a zipped folder, and then unzipped it into the themes folder I identified above (in the second screenshot). I then changed the text in the hugo.yaml file I identified in the first screenshot to point to that path. Sadly this resulted in the RStudio preview breaking. Clearly, there is some issue here and the file structure I have looks a bit different from what was written up in the post.

I would be immensely grateful if anyone here can point me in the right direction!
