Author Name — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This theme supports custom taxonomy and growth stage indicators. By default seedling, budding and evergreen will have predefined indicator.

But fist, it must be manually set up as follows:

[taxonomies]
 stage = "stage"

Create taxonomy folder and it’s terms _index.md:

mysite/
 ├── ...
 ├── content/
 │ └── stage/
 │ ├─ seedling/
 │ │ └─ _index.md
 │ ├─ budding/
 │ │ └─ _index.md
 │ └─ evergreen/
 │ └─ _index.md
 └── ...

Within _index.md, Set the stage title and translationKey if site is multilingual, you can also override custom indicator or emoji:

---
title: 'Stage of me being Godzilla'
translationKey: godzilla
emoji: '🦖'
# indicator: 'https://example.com/indicator.svg'
---

You can write the introduction or blah blah blah here

Add the stage parameter into your post index.md:

---
title: 'My Post'
stage: 'seedling'
---

Authoring Terms Entry

You can change the cover of each terms entry by adding the cover parameter in _index.md under [lang]\[taxonomies]\[terms]\. For example, to set the cover of the term configuration in categories, add the parameter in content\en\categories\configuration\_index.md.

---
title: "Configuration"
description: "Configuration description, this might be useful for HTML metadata"
cover: "https://example.com/cover.png"
translationKey: configuration
---

If something is written here, the text will be displayed as hero section.

To link the terms entry in another language, you can add the translationKey parameter. For example, if you want to link the terms entry in Indonesian, add the parameter in content\id\categories\konfigurasi\_index.md.

---
title: "Konfigurasi"
description: "Deskripsi konfigurasi, ini bisa berguna untuk metadata HTML"
cover: "https://example.com/cover.png"
translationKey: configuration
---

Jika ada teks yang ditulis di sini, teks akan ditampilkan sebagai bagian hero.

The same way, you can set the cover of each terms entry for series and author taxonomies. After making these changes, rebuild your site to see the updated cover and translations in breadcrumbs. The cover will replace the flowlines images on taxonomies listing.
