Hi @lnardog,

How do you view your built site? Using webserver (as with hugo serve)?

Seems like it happened because you’ve opened index.html from public folder to view result in the browser. And this will not work as expected because all paths in template to resources are relative to webserver and not to local file directory. To preview built website you need to run it using webserver.

Hope this helps!

Theme not applied for exported site

Hi all, I’m trying to do a really simple website with Hugo. I can view it just fine when doing hugo server, but the theme isn’t applied for the site exported to /public. The preview is on the left, the exported site is on the right: [Untitled] I know I’m missing something obvious here, please point me in the right direction.

yeap that is exactly what i tried to do, just open the index file.

thanks both for providing that insight!
