Hexo: Keep URL public post structure by title, ignore subfolders within _posts?

[vincentntang]

I managed the content of my hexo posts on sublime text.

The problem I'm having right now is I cannot keep all my posts under just __posts_ because it gets too confusing. Ideally I want subfolders, like this

However, I do not want my URL to change based on this added subfolder. Because I might move content in folders around in __posts_ later on which will change my links

E.G.

I don't want this highlighted portion of my URL

How can i avoid this

A workaround would be to add a variable in front matter, and then use it in the permalink.

For example:

---
title: Hello World
titleInLink: smth
---

Then set permalink using :titleInLink. The url will look like: http://domain/smth/

Not really sure what controls the permalink under root config.yml

This is what I have on my settings at the moment:

Same problem for me. I have different post types (projects, artists, …) and need to get a little bit more order into my _posts folder.

Perfect outcome:

hexo new project "Test Project" creates _posts/projects/test-project.md
hexo new artist "Test Artist" creates _posts/artists/test-artist.md

The newly created posts should still use their categories for the permalink and not the folder they are in.

You can use a directive :layout in _config.yml as follows:

new_post_name: :layout/:title.md

Once you make a new file project.md in your scaffolds folder,
hexo new project test001 command generates source/_posts/project/test001.md.
Regardless of the folder, the permalink of the post follows permalink: setting in your _config.yml.

For example, the URL of this post is http://example.com/2017/03/02/test001/ if your setting is as follows:

permalink: :year/:month/:day/:title/

Of course any categories and tags can be set to the post optionally.

@NoahDragon -

Your solution partly works.
I have subfolders in my _posts:

• china
• japan
• vietnam

For each .md file I added:
titleInLink: USA

but the resulting URL / slug is... domain.com/USA/china/post.md and domain.com/USA/vietnam/post.md

How to get rid of the "folders names" (such as china, japan, vietnam) in my URL / slug?
