Content in subdirectories formatted differently

[kmsuzuki]

If I hugo new a file into the root of my project, it's treated as an ordinary single page as defined in layouts/_default/single.html. Any file placed in a subdirectory gets today's date added just above the content, params.widgets added. Why does it do this? I'd like to have my single pages without param.widgets.

Thanks!

I realize I'm replying to an old issue but I found it trying to figure this out myself and it's unanswered.

I fixed it by doing this:

Issue: Trying to make content/docs/warranty.md render like a page instead of a blog post.

Fix: In /themes/hugo-universal-theme/layouts I ran cp -a page docs

Now anything I put in $REPO_ROOT/content/docs/ renders like a page instead of a blog post.

I'm not sure if this is the "proper" way to do this but it works.
