Hugo 0.55.6-A5D4C82D linux/386 This is truly odd. Started up a new site locally, things were working fine for awhile. But now all pages (except for a bare home page) go 404 until I re-save them, including posts. I really don’t understand what changed… I have closed my terminal window and re-opened…

when using just ‘hugo’ to build the public folder, that folder does not contain any posts.

UPDATE: removing an ‘index.md’ file from the root content directory fixed some things. But now my blog posts show on the home page. I need to specify a different page for my home page. Searching for that answer now…

We’re in the dark. But if you share your code, we can try to help.

Which code? All I can tell you is that I’m using the Indigo theme. I guess I should just delete everything and start over. I can’t remember what I’ve changed. I keep forgetting this is truly not designed for end-users.

yeah, this site isn’t up on any repo yet, just on my local machine. I think I got it back to where it was before I screwed something up. I really do need to dive deeper into the docs re: the processing order. That part’s not firmly in my mind yet, and this theme is more bare-bones than the others I’…

Hi @dixonge - hard to say what caused your 404. I have seen that when I had enabled gitinfo in the config, but hadn’t yet committed the project to git. Another time was, I changed how the permalinks were being generated in config.toml, and that caused trouble. I got a bunch of 404s because my links …

In the end, I just switched away from that particular theme. I then spent a few days (again) exploring alternatives to Hugo. The problem isn’t Hugo, it’s the lack of theming standards which kills portability. Once you have a certain set of front matter, switching it over to another set of parameters…

For anyone that still face this issue and got here from google: Solution to this issue is renaming top level index.md to _index.md: [image] Subdirectories not generated after upgrade support Reverting back to 0.15 version of hugo fixed the issue. Note that Ubuntu 16.04 …
