Misc

Sitemap

Hugo comes with support for XML Sitemaps built-in.

Hugo will export a sitemap.xml file with all of your content using a standard XML template to the root of your built site. You can configure this in your config.yml.

sitemap:
  changefreq: "monthly"
  priority: 0.5
  filename: "sitemap.xml"

RSS Feeds

Hugo will also generate an RSS feed in the following locations:

  • At the root of your built site
  • In the root of every section directory
  • At the root of every taxonomy directory

You can configure parts of the output of the RSS feeds in your config.yml.

languageCode: "en-us"
copyright: "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License."
author:
  name: "My Name Here"
  email: "sample@domain.tld"

In order to include RSS feeds, you must include it in the <head> of your pages.

{{ with .OutputFormats.Get "RSS" }}
  <link href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
  <link href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" rel="feed" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
{{ end }}

If you wish to create Atom Feeds or other types of documents, please see the Hugo documentation on Output Formats.
