Content Display & Summaries

Controls how many posts appear on the homepage, and how long summaries are in list views.

Homepage recent posts limit

To keep the homepage tidy, you can limit the number of recent posts shown. Extra posts are accessible via a “View more” button.

Where to configure

Set in hugo.toml:

[params.home]
  # Note: Number of recent posts shown on the homepage.
  recentPostsLimit = 6

Summary truncation length

In post lists or timelines, if a page has no explicit description, the theme extracts a snippet from the start of the content as the summary. You can control the maximum length.

Set in hugo.toml:

[params]
  # Note: Summary length (characters) in homepage and list cards.
  articleCardSummaryLength = 160

  # Note: Summary length (characters) on the /posts timeline page.
  articleTimelineSummaryLength = 160

Tips

• Manual summary split: use <!--more--> in your content to define the summary region (the theme prefers it).
• Prefer description: if a page sets description, the theme uses it as the summary on the homepage and some lists (e.g. timeline).
