I know this video is a few years old but I tried to recreate this with a different Hugo theme and it didn't work. The directory had different folders in it than in your example and also the config file from examplesite was .yaml and not .toml so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to change the extension or delete the old .toml file or leave both? Either way it comes up with this error: "WARN 2023/01/04 11:26:30 found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "term": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination." for each of the 11 pages built. Any help?

[@HowToCode_io]

Hmm sounds like it is looking for a layout file that doesn't exist. Is there any chance you can put your code up on GitHub and send me the repo? I would be more than happy to take a look at it. Email: [e-mail]

Can we create multi-users and posts specifically for them using this? Do we have that tag too in the fields? I want to build a blog where my students send over their markdown(.md) to me and I want to make it available on the blog with their name as an Author. Similar to WordPress. Can we do it using this way? I want to teach programming to rural youth and showcase their skills as they build them through this blog. Any help will be truly appreciated..:)

[@HowToCode_io]

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but you can easily add an author variable to the front matter of the markdown file with their name in it. Then just used that variable to display their name on the page. Does that help? Let me know.

@@HowToCode_io Thank you so much. I think that might serve my purpose. I'll try it and if I find any issue in doing so, I'll ask.
