I know this video is a few years old but I tried to recreate this with a different Hugo theme and it didn't work. The directory had different folders in it than in your example and also the config file from examplesite was .yaml and not .toml so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to change the extension or delete the old .toml file or leave both? Either way it comes up with this error: "WARN 2023/01/04 11:26:30 found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "term": You should create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for this combination." for each of the 11 pages built. Any help?

Can we create multi-users and posts specifically for them using this? Do we have that tag too in the fields? I want to build a blog where my students send over their markdown(.md) to me and I want to make it available on the blog with their name as an Author. Similar to WordPress. Can we do it using this way? I want to teach programming to rural youth and showcase their skills as they build them through this blog. Any help will be truly appreciated..:)
