Top-level section landing pages are always rooted in a docs-only site

[adlerzei]

Environment

• Version of Docsy you are using: 0.13.0
• How are you using Docsy? As a: fork
• Version of Hugo you are using (output of hugo version): v0.155.0-74c0bbfc6abce6a4f568c2b8c593a7fca9710e3f+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2026-01-28T16:28:23Z
• OS: Windows

Problem

With Docsy 0.13.0 there is no possibility to use top-level section landing pages that are not a TOC root with docs-only sites anymore.

This is a big drawback compared to 0.12.0.

@chalin I also created an example for this bug using docsy.dev of adlerzei/docsy:top_level_section_bug_example. Therefore, I modified the guide to be a docs-only page and disabled the sidebar_root_enabled and sidebar_menu_foldable features.

In the example, the sections are rooted nonetheless. For example, if you click on "Get started" the section itself is rooted in the sidebar:

I opened a pull request (#2496) that fixes this issue for me. I'd love if you can integrate the fix for the next Docsy version, as this makes upgrading for me much easier.

Thanks for reporting this, and the repro, that's appreciated. I've created a tracker issue and included this as a part of it (since there are a few more aspects I need to tackle other than those you've report):

• Reintroduce support for docs-only and docs-only+ sites #2504

FYI, the fixes probably won't land until after the next release.

Hey all who upvoted here: firstly, thanks for doing that, it helps me to know your preferences. Could you upvote #2504, the parent issue for this one, too? Thanks!
