Can’t evaluate field URL in type page.Page

Hi everybody,

I am a total amateur and I made a very basic website with Hugo two years ago.

Now I would like to make some small changes but when I try to launch the server I get an error, but I didn’t change anything.

Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of “section” failed: “/home/****/Hugo/********/themes/ga-hugo-theme/layouts/_default/list.html:14:31”: execute of template failed: template: _default/list.html:14:31: executing “_default/list.html” at <.URL>: can’t evaluate field URL in type page.Page

I’m on linux if that helps. I apologise for the newbie question.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The .URL method on .Page was deprecated a long time ago. Use .RelPermalink instead.

Do not try to do a global search/replace on your codebase—the .URL method is valid for menu entries and pagination pagers.

Likely one of the recent times you’ve updated your Linux instance via its package manager, it may have updated Hugo to a more recent version after the depreciation of .URL for pages.

I’d suggest searching for .URL, and then changing each instance to .RelPermalink which is nested under a .Pages or .RegularPages range. .Menus ranges should be left to .URL.

Thanks a lot to both you! It works fine now :slight_smile:
