What are the issues you can’t fix?
Kevin, It's 2 steps forward and 1 step back. The latest step back comes from adding the hugo-debug-utils.
Jumping into a broken (?) template based on (the old) bootstrap4 might be more difficult than just developing the site from scratch.
I tried using the Hugo-Tikva theme but found it much too complex. The Hugo-Justice theme is clean and I belive it is a good look for my needs. Tikva is not supported and the developers of Justice didn't respond to my email asking for assistance.
I’ve built a couple of Hugo based sites and of all the static site generators I’ve used I like Hugo the best. The site/page rebuild speed is unmatched. The file structure is straight forward and the included tools make a lot of things - easy.
Yes, it's great to spend the learning time when developing multiple sites. I'm interested in only upgrading my site.
Another nice static site generator is Publii (https://getpublii.com). It’s great for smaller sites and a lot easier to learn (it includes a GUI) than most static site generators, including Hugo (huge learning curve). Did you buy a copy of the Hugo book? It’s excellent and was a huge help to me when I decided to learn Hugo.
I purchased the PDF versions of Atishay Jain's "Hugo in Action" and Brian Hogan's "Build Websites With Hugo." Read most of both. The former focuses on corporate development teams while the latter focuses on a single web site. Perhaps reading both contributed to my confusion. :-) I like the Hugo Justice theme and have no idea how to modify it from bootstrap4 or use it to accommodate nested/sub menus; the latter seems to have caused a lot of pain. I'll look at Publii. Thanks, Rich
