Base URL not seeming to work?

I’m spinning up my brand-new Hugo site - hooray!

Decided to manually deploy to my simple Gandi hosting via SFTP by simply pasting my Public folder over into the htdocs folder in my Gandi instance (fine, I do not need anything more complex). Deploying worked fine (see my site) except two problems: 1) my images are not loading and 2) the link back to my homepage is going to the localhost version of my site, not the actually hosted version.

I suspect these things are related and that the problem is that the paths are breaking but it’s not obvious to me how. I do have baseURL = 'https://www.flourishklink.com' in my configuration TOML file, which I had thought was the key thing to make sure that the paths all worked when deployed, but apparently not? I’m missing a trick here: help!

You need to build your site with the hugo build command (just hugo for short) not hugo server. Clear your local public directory before the deployment build.

Doh. Obvious again. Thank you - you’re evidently my guardian angel!!
