As of writing, I’m running the following

hugo v0.118.2
blowfish v2.42.0

nodejs 19.6.1
golang 1.21.3

The blowfish docs for custom analytics providers did not work for me when trying to add the Plausible analytics script to the <head> of the website.

  • It suggested adding the file layouts/partials/analytics.html and including the analytic scripts there.
  • UPDATE: Looks like the author is aware and there is an existing Github issue

Instead, I followed blowfish documentation for Head and Footer, and added my Plausible script to the layouts/partials/extend-head.html file instead.
