Hugo single page theme

To use a different theme for one page in Hugo, you can customize the theme for a specific page by modifying the front matter of that page. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a Theme for the Specific Page:

   • You can create a custom theme for the page by copying the necessary files from an existing theme and placing them in a folder named after the page you want to customize. For example, if you want to customize the about page, you can create a folder named about in the themes directory and place the necessary files there.

2. Specify the Theme in the Page Front Matter:

   • In the front matter of the page, you can specify the theme you want to use for that particular page. For example, if you have a custom theme named mytheme, you can add theme = "mytheme" to the front matter of the page.

Here is an example of how you might configure this:

---
title: "About"
theme: "mytheme"
---

This will apply the mytheme theme specifically to the about page. Note that the theme specified in the front matter overrides the global theme setting defined in the config.toml file for that particular page.

3. Ensure the Theme is Recognized:
   • Make sure that the theme you are specifying is correctly installed and recognized by Hugo. You can do this by ensuring that the theme folder is in the themes directory and that it is correctly referenced in your Hugo configuration.

This approach allows you to apply different themes to different pages, providing greater flexibility in customizing your Hugo site.
