Site Configuration

To enable the multiple authors, please make sure that the authors is present under the taxonomies.

2  authors: authors

hugo.json

1{
2   "taxonomies": {
3      "authors": "authors"
4   }
5}

And then note the authors on content’s front matter.

1authors = ['HB', 'Hugo']

2- HB
3- Hugo
