After more than a year of using hugo for test and client projects. 1 thing i really hate is the hugo updates most of the time updates mess up the whole theme or project with no actuall solution on what to do. Normally issue is solved in next update or if i donwgrade the hugo version. but it is very…

I prefer to download source files for this very reason. I am on windows, so it is as quick as zipping the previous major version, then if something goes wrong, I just delete the newer version and extract the older version. I avoid downloading the minor versions (the x.xxx.1, x.xxx.2 etc.) unless I s…

Hi @tut Do you know if i can follow the similar setup on mac? Seems like Homebrew or MacPorts are only available options on mac. Thanks

With your example from other post is more about remote things. Save websites, modules and themes offline on your own GitHub so you will not face disappointment when one repo will suddenly be not maintained, supported or simply disappear. I started Hugo in late 2020 and none of my websites have any…

Hi @tut Tried this didnt work mac doesnt allow hugo to install as an unknown developer, the instalation failed with message “wrong cpu type”. But thanks for the suggestion.

The following instructions assume you have a folder (which we’ll call bin) in your system PATH. (Note: Regarding the system PATH, you may want to consult this article .) Go to Hugo’s r…

I take it that since this post was from today and you described the same problem, you maybe had the same issue I have suddenly had — that unmodified sites suddenly don’t render with their CSS intact? They render without styling on (now current) version 102.3, at least on MacOS (ARM), which you also …

[image] chreliot: it seemed to have something to do with permissions on style.css in my Public folder being set to Read Only every time I ran Hugo. Why would a read-only CSS file prevent the CSS from being read and/or rendered? I think that you’re barking up the wrong tree here – you might wa…

Hi @chreliot Do you have a link of what directions you follow as all my attempts are failed on mac. Also hugo seems to be the only package which doesnt support brew install hugo@xxx The hugo updates mess up this have nothing to do with css or repo or anything else once i am able to downgrade hugo …
