TH Köln-specific questions?

please have a look at the TH FAQs.

accommodation

how can i find accommodation?

the student organization of your city will probably provide the cheapest dorms (e.g. KSTW in Köln). (if applicable,) try to fill out their form ASAP and pray to god you end up high on the list of applicants.
if you don’t hear a response soon, try to contact them via email and phone and ask for a status.

issues faced while migrating from WordPress to Hugo with PaperMod

issue 2: no posts displayed on the homepage

TL;DR: remove type: post (if present) from the front matter.
this should solve both the issues, as Hugo looks for type: posts, and you are explicitly stating that your content is of the “section” post, and not posts.

why?

Hugo has a clever system for organizing content and choosing layouts.

content sections & types: by default, Hugo determines a content file’s “section” based on its directory (e.g., files in content/posts/ belong to the posts section). it also often infers the content “type” from the section name. your hugo.yaml correctly identified the main section with mainsections: posts.
the conflict: by explicitly setting type: post (singular) in the front matter, i might have been forcing Hugo to look for a layout specifically named for the singular post type (like layouts/post/list.html or themes/PaperMod/layouts/post/list.html).
it seems either such a layout didn’t exist, was flawed, or the PaperMod theme expected list pages to be associated with the plural section name (posts) derived from the directory or mainsections setting.
removing type: post allowed Hugo to correctly use the type inferred from the directory (posts) and find the working default list layout (themes/PaperMod/layouts/_default/list.html).

the solution

if your posts are in content/posts/ and your hugo.yaml has mainsections: posts, you generally don’t need to specify type: post in the front matter of individual posts. Hugo is smart enough to figure it out from the directory structure.

COL

(similar to my answer for the same question in Germany FAQs):

varies vastly on your lifestyle.

rough estimate:

rent: 600 (all the best finding a place 😭)
mobile phone: 20 (i used Free)
misc.: 50
food: 300
- groceries: 200-250
- restaurants: ~25 per visit, 4x per month = 100

managing your budget will keep the prices under 1000 per month in Paris. difficult, but doable.
