blog.dosch.nl - Hugo Site

This Hugo site was successfully migrated from WordPress on 2025-10-01.

Quick Start

View your site locally (including drafts):

hugo server -D

Then open http://localhost:1313 in your browser.

hugo

The site will be generated in the public/ directory.

Understanding Drafts vs Published

In Hugo, post status is controlled by the draft field in frontmatter:

  • draft: false = Published (appears in production builds)
  • draft: true = Draft (only appears with hugo server -D)

All migrated posts retain their original WordPress status in the wp_status field.

To publish a draft:

  1. Open the post in content/posts/
  2. Change draft: true to draft: false
  3. Save and rebuild

Common Tasks

Create a new post:

hugo new posts/my-new-post.md

Preview all content (including drafts):

hugo server -D

Build for production:

hugo

Check Hugo version:

hugo version

Next Steps

  1. ✅ Hugo site is running at http://localhost:1313
  2. Review your migrated posts in content/posts/
  3. Check that images display correctly
  4. Customize theme settings in hugo.toml if needed
  5. Review any draft posts and publish them
  6. When ready, deploy the public/ directory to your hosting

Documentation

Notes

  • Some older images (2012-2015) couldn't be downloaded as they no longer exist on the server
  • Original WordPress URLs are preserved in each post's frontmatter as wp_url
  • The site is configured for mixed languages (no separate language sections)
  • robots.txt is set to disallow all crawlers (can be changed in static/robots.txt)

Migration completed successfully! 🎉

The Hugo server is currently running at http://localhost:1313
