config.toml

Hello

Intro:
"Take a look inside the exampleSite folder of this theme. You'll find a file called config.toml.
To use it, copy the config.toml in the root folder of your Hugo site.
Feel free to change the strings in this theme."

Since version 0.110.0, Hugo uses hugo.toml as the default configuration file.
However, the previously used file name config.toml is still supported.
This means that if you create a website with “hugo new site quickstart”, a configuration file “hugo.toml” is created.
This means that if you copy config.toml from examplesite to the root directory, it will be ignored (Hugo version 1.45)
If the file is renamed to hugo.toml instead, the problem does not occur. IMHO

This will be mainly rewritten in the next release ;) exampleSite is gone, config is explained once and then we choose a single method to show examples.

Having said that, the config.toml in the root directory is NOT ignored and, while deprecated, still full supported. Once Ananke's docs are rewritten all mentions will go to hugo.toml and a config directory.

Hello

You have missed my point. When I create a website with “hugo new site quickstart”, a configuration file “hugo.toml” is created.
If a configuration file “hugo.toml” is created in the root directory, then it will be executed. Regardless of whether a config.toml is copied to the root directory or not.
This means that if you want to test a configuration in a “config.toml”, you must rename or delete the “hugo.toml”. Experienced this week.

And what I said was that this will be fixed in the next release.
