To better organize all of your pages you can centralize them into a single location similar to posts and collections.
Step 1: Start by placing pages (.md
or .html
files) into a _pages
directory. Meaningfully naming files should be the goal. Avoid patterns like /about/index.md
as it makes distinguishing between multiple index.md
files harder.
sample-project
└── _pages/
├── 404.md # custom 404 page
├── about.md # about page
└── contact.md # contact page
Step 2: Include pages to be sure Jekyll “sees” and processes the files inside of _pages
. Add include: ["_pages"]
to _config.yml
.
Step 3: Assign permalink overrides in the YAML Front Matter of each.
Examples:
filename | permalink |
---|---|
_pages/about.md | permalink: /about/ |
_pages/home.md | permalink: / |
_pages/contact.md | permalink: /contact/ |
Recommended Front Matter Defaults:
defaults:
# _pages
- scope:
path: ""
type: pages
values:
layout: page
