Hugo reads its configuration from `hugo.yaml` in the root of your Hugo site.
The config file is where you can configure all aspects of your site.
Check out the config file for this site [`exampleSite/hugo.yaml`](https://github.com/imfing/hextra/blob/main/exampleSite/hugo.yaml) on GitHub to get a comprehensive idea of available settings and best practices.

## Navigation
### Menu
Top right menu is defined under the `menu.main` section in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
menu:
main:
- name: Documentation
pageRef: /docs
weight: 1
- name: Blog
pageRef: /blog
weight: 2
- name: About
pageRef: /about
weight: 3
- name: Search
weight: 4
params:
type: search
- name: GitHub
weight: 5
url: "https://github.com/imfing/hextra"
params:
icon: github
```
There are different types of menu items:
1. Link to a page in the site with `pageRef`
```yaml
- name: Documentation
pageRef: /docs
```
2. Link to an external URL with `url`
```yaml
- name: GitHub
url: "https://github.com"
```
3. Search bar with `type: search`
```yaml
- name: Search
params:
type: search
```
4. Icon
```yaml
- name: GitHub
params:
icon: github
```
These menu items can be sorted by setting the `weight` parameter.
### Logo and Title
To modify the default logo, edit `hugo.yaml` and add the path to your logo file under `static` directory.
Optionally, you can change the link that users are redirected to when clicking on your logo, as well as set the width & height of the logo in pixels.
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
navbar:
displayTitle: true
displayLogo: true
logo:
path: images/logo.svg
dark: images/logo-dark.svg
link: /
width: 40
height: 20
```
## Sidebar
### Main Sidebar
For the main sidebar, it is automatically generated from the structure of the content directory.
See the [Organize Files](/docs/guide/organize-files) page for more details.
To exclude a single page from the left sidebar, set the `sidebar.exclude` parameter in the front matter of the page:
```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
sidebar:
exclude: true
---
```
### Extra Links
Sidebar extra links are defined under the `menu.sidebar` section in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
menu:
sidebar:
- name: More
params:
type: separator
weight: 1
- name: "About"
pageRef: "/about"
weight: 2
- name: "Hugo Docs ↗"
url: "https://gohugo.io/documentation/"
weight: 3
```
## Right Sidebar
### Table of Contents
Table of contents is automatically generated from the headings in the content file. It can be disabled by setting `toc: false` in the front matter of the page.
```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
toc: false
---
```
### Page Edit Link
To configure the page edit link, we can set the `params.editURL.base` parameter in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
editURL:
enable: true
base: "https://github.com/your-username/your-repo/edit/main"
```
The edit links will be automatically generated for each page based on the provided url as root directory.
If you want to set edit link for a specific page, you can set the `editURL` parameter in the front matter of the page:
```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
editURL: "https://example.com/edit/this/page"
---
```
## Footer
### Copyright
To modify the copyright text displayed in your website's footer, you'll need to create a file named `i18n/en.yaml`.
In this file, specify your new copyright text as shown below:
```yaml {filename="i18n/en.yaml"}
copyright: "© 2024 YOUR TEXT HERE"
```
For your reference, an example [`i18n/en.yaml`](https://github.com/imfing/hextra/blob/main/i18n/en.yaml) file can be found in the GitHub repository. Additionally, you could use Markdown format in the copyright text.
## Others
### Favicon
To customize the [favicon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon) for your site, place icon files under the `static` folder to override the [default favicons from the theme](https://github.com/imfing/hextra/tree/main/static):
{{< filetree/container >}}
{{< filetree/folder name="static" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="android-chrome-192x192.png" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="android-chrome-512x512.png" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="apple-touch-icon.png" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="favicon-16x16.png" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="favicon-32x32.png" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="favicon-dark.svg" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="favicon.ico" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="favicon.svg" >}}
{{< filetree/file name="site.webmanifest" >}}
{{< /filetree/folder >}}
{{< /filetree/container >}}
Include both `favicon.ico` and `favicon.svg` files in your project to ensure your site's favicons display correctly.
While `favicon.ico` is generally for older browsers, `favicon.svg` is supported by modern ones. The optional `favicon-dark.svg` can be included for a tailored experience in dark mode.
Feel free to use tools like [favicon.io](https://favicon.io/) or [favycon](https://github.com/ruisaraiva19/favycon) to generate these icons.
### Theme Configuration
Use the `theme` setting to configure the default theme mode and toggle button, allowing visitors to switch between light or dark mode.
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
theme:
# light | dark | system
default: system
displayToggle: true
```
Options for `theme.default`:
- `light` - always use light mode
- `dark` - always use dark mode
- `system` - sync with the operating system setting (default)
The `theme.displayToggle` parameter allows you to display a toggle button for changing themes.
When set to `true`, visitors can switch between light or dark mode, overriding the default setting.
### Page Width
The width of the page can be customized by the `params.page.width` parameter in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
page:
# full (100%), wide (90rem), normal (1280px)
width: wide
```
There are three available options: `full`, `wide`, and `normal`. By default, the page width is set to `normal`.
Similarly, the width of the navbar and footer can be customized by the `params.navbar.width` and `params.footer.width` parameters.
### Search Index
Full-text search powered by [FlexSearch](https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch) is enabled by default.
To customize the search index, set the `params.search.flexsearch.index` parameter in the config file:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
params:
# Search
search:
enable: true
type: flexsearch
flexsearch:
# index page by: content | summary | heading | title
index: content
```
Options for `flexsearch.index`:
- `content` - full content of the page (default)
- `summary` - summary of the page, see [Hugo Content Summaries](https://gohugo.io/content-management/summaries/) for more details
- `heading` - level 1 and level 2 headings
- `title` - only include the page title
To exclude a page from the search index, set the `excludeSearch: true` in the front matter of the page:
```yaml {filename="content/docs/guide/configuration.md"}
---
title: Configuration
excludeSearch: true
---
```
### Google Analytics
To enable [Google Analytics](https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/), set `services.googleAnalytics.ID` flag in `hugo.yaml`:
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
services:
googleAnalytics:
ID: G-MEASUREMENT_ID
```
