<p>I assume you are using Luke Smith’s theme - Lugo, if you are not, you’d have to find these files yourself (e.g. search using vscode).</p>

<h2 id="setting-a-global-meta-description">Setting a global meta description</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Locate your config.toml or config.yaml file</li>
|
|
<li>Add the following line inside it</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>For config.toml</p>
|

<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-toml" data-lang="toml"><span style="display:flex;"><span>[<span style="color:#a6e22e">params</span>]

</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">description</span> = <span style="color:#e6db74">"The global meta description of your website"</span>

|
|
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>It won’t work just yet because you have to update the <code>baseof.html</code> file.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="updating-the-baseofhtml-file">Updating the baseof.html file</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Locate baseof.html</li>
|
|
<li>Add or change the meta description line with the following</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span style="display:flex;"><span><<span style="color:#f92672">meta</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">name</span><span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#e6db74">"description"</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">content</span><span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#e6db74">"{{ if .Page.Params.description }}{{ .Page.Params.description }}{{ else if .Summary}}{{ .Summary }}{{else}}{{ .Site.Params.description}}{{ end }}"</span>/>
|
|
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>And now if you start your Hugo server locally with <code>hugo serve --noHTTPCache</code> and you right click on your page -> View Page Source -> Search for the meta description tag. It should match what you left in the config file.</p>
