Hi Hugo member,
I need help and thanks in advance for help.
Requirement:
I have made two branch

  2. Master for Production [config-production.toml]

Problem after deploy

Below is the .gitlab-ci.yml code

  STAGING_BASE_URL: "https://wwwdev.abc.com/"
  STAGING_DOMAIN: "wwwdev.abc.com"
  
.production_variables: &production_variables
  HUGO_ENV: ${PROD_HUGO_ENV}
  BASE_URL: ${PROD_BASE_URL}
  DOMAIN: ${PROD_DOMAIN}

Welcome to the forums. Please put your code samples together in a working repo that we can clone. Currently your menu loads javascript and we don’t know what your content files look like. We need to see what is happening. :slight_smile:

I am not familiar with all those GitLab options. In my setup, I put it all in the Hugo command:

script:
- hugo -e "development" --config config.toml,config-dev.toml

The second config file (config-dev.toml) overwrite some variables in config.toml, such as baseurl.

In the menu, it looks like you are using a custom defined variable ($baseurl) instead of the system’s (config) baseurl.

The problem might lie there - though I can’t tell. Check to see if your variable is setting the production baseurl. If it is, you might like to try changing to use hugo’s url management.
