Creating Blog Series in Hugo: Part 1

  • 14/8/2021
  • One-minute read

In this first part we configure Hugo to recognise a series taxonomy so related posts render together.

Step 1: Enable the Taxonomy

Add the series entry to config.toml (remember to keep existing taxonomies):

[taxonomies]
  category = "categories"
  series   = "series"
  tag      = "tags"

Step 2: Tag Front Matter

Include the series name in each post:

---
author: Hugo Authors
title: Series Part 1
date: 2021-08-14
description: A brief guide to how to set up series part 1
series:
  - series-setup
---

Hugo now renders “Posts in this Series” navigation automatically. Preview locally (hugo server) to confirm ordering and navigation before publishing Part 2.
