I have not made an update for about 3 months. Everything worked back then.

Now I just added new .md files, ie. content, changed a couple of lines in a shortcode file and now the site gets generated and deployed like this on Gitlab:

 ![03](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/gohugo/original/2X/3/33981841f6592c13e1ec643c661c95bfa489b0d5.png)

There are supposed to be blog posts showing up. I have already reverted back to the previous commit, but I get the same issue. I have not changed anything in the config, nor on Gitlab.

`# .gitlab-ci.yml`

```auto
image: monachus/hugo

variables:
  GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive

pages:
  script:
  - hugo
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - public
  only:
  - master

```

This config for gitlab has also not changed. Just verified that it’s still the same (from the Docs)

Does anyone have any clues what’s happening? Thanks you.

Maybe try changing to `monachus/hugo:v0.56.3` just to troubleshoot? This exact problem happened to me as well after updating to 0.57.0. This probably isn’t applicable to you, but just for reference I added these lines to `config.toml` a while ago (can’t remember why, to be honest) and removing them fixed this for me:

```
[taxonomies]
  tag = ""
  category = ""

```

It could also have to do with the [changes](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.57.2) to `.Pages` even though this was apparently reverted for now in 0.57.2. I [updated my `list.html`](https://github.com/jakejarvis/jarv.is/commit/71d892949cb22b4cf20c79465cb1dd37673d080c#diff-3db8db7226d7f28bb43b59ce30ad6157) as well to be safe.

Sorry I can’t be more help but I thought I should document my personal solution on here just in case it applies. 🙂

Fixed! Awesome, Jake! Thank you.

Adding `v0.56.3` fixed the issue.

No problem! You’ll probably want to upgrade to a newer version at some point so I’d still try to figure this out but I’m glad your site is back up and running for now!

You did solve the problem by downgrading to an older version, congratulations 😉

If you want to solve the problem: I think it might be that you range over `.Site.Pages` but should range over `.Site.RegularPages`. Search for these here on the forum. That was the reason for most “suddenly empty posts” in 0.57.
