I have a Hugo website here lf0 ( dot)com
The github repo can be found here: https://github.com/msmith01/msmith01.github.io/
I recently created a new blog posts and when I run (in R Studio) blogdown::serve_site() the site builds and I can access it from 127.0.0.1:4321 where the new blog post has been uploaded and everything looks okay. I then push the site to github to upload the new blog post. However I get a 404 not found:
https://lf0.com/post/machine-learning-boundary-conditions/machine-learning-boundary-conditions
But the blog post exists on the github repo
blob/master/post/Machine-Learning-boundary-conditions/machine-learning-boundary-conditions/index
I did make some recent changes to the rss in themes\hugo-academic\layouts_default - could this be the issue?
The old posts work fine, just the new posts obtain the 404 not found.
Hi there,
Just guessing here: probably a URL case issue. Your generated site on github has it at post/Machine-Learning-boundary-conditions while you are accessing post/machine-learning-boundary-conditions. It is, in fact, available, at https://lf0.com/post/Machine-Learning-boundary-conditions/machine-learning-boundary-conditions/
Have a look at disablePathToLower.
Also, for future reference, it is generally more helpful to post your site source repo (with the markdown files), not the repo for the generated html files.

Thanks for the quick reply. I see the post is working at the url you posted. I also understand why all my other posts were carefully put into lower case folders and file names. I accidentally made this post contain some upper case characters.
Can I just put:
disablePathToLower = True
into the config.toml? I am looking in the config.toml file and cannot see any reference to disablePathToLower.
I still cannot seem to get the post to display correctly. It keeps saying 404 page not found, I have modified the config.toml file with no success. I have also renamed the folder to all lower case.
Hi there,
As I mentioned above, at the moment it’s a guess. Maybe it was that, maybe there’s something else going on. It would be helpful to see your site source repo, not the generated site repo. Have a read about Requesting Help .
The source repo can be found here: https://github.com/msmith01/master_msmith01.github.io
It is a little old (5 months old) since I cannot seem to “update” the github repo at the moment.
So I’ve had a look at your repo.
It does not have that example post that you mention above, so I did:
hugo new post/ThisHasCaps/index.md- run
hugo
- inspect
public:
public/post/
├── thishascaps
│ └── index.html
...
- inspect
public/post/index.html (yoursite.com/post/):
<a href="/post/thishascaps/" >ThisHasCaps</a>
Then:
- edit
config.toml
- add
disablePathToLower = true
- make sure to add this line before the toml tables start (ie
[outputs])
- run
hugo
- inspect
public
public/post/
├── ThisHasCaps
│ └── index.html
...
- inspect
public/post/index.html
<a href="/post/ThisHasCaps/" >ThisHasCaps</a>
I am running 0.65.3. Do you get a different result?
Thanks for your help!
I managed to get the blog post I wanted working buy re-creating it using lowercase folder names and post names. Now the post works at the URL:
And is linked up well on the homepage.
I added the line you suggested:
# Name of Academic theme folder in `themes/`.
theme = "hugo-academic"
# Get last modified date for content from Git?
enableGitInfo = false
# Remove case sensitive links
disablePathToLower = true # HERE
# Default language to use (if you setup multilingual support)
defaultContentLanguage = "en"
hasCJKLanguage = false # Set `true` for Chinese/Japanese/Korean languages.
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = false
removePathAccents = true # Workaround for REMOVED URL
Now I get an eror 404 for the following (old) post:
https://lf0.com/post/xgboost-time-series-classification-trading-strategy/XGBoost-time-series-quant-trading-strategy/
When I set the following to true: disablePathToLower = true the following links breaks.
https://lf0.com/post/xgboost-time-series-classification-trading-strategy/XGBoost-time-series-quant-trading-strategy/
and
https://lf0.com/post/portfolio-optimisation-model/portfolio-optimisation-R/
I can only guess it’s because of the XGB and the R in the links.
However, I reconstructed the original post (which was causing problems) and saved the folders and file names in lower-case and I am able to have all links working (including the XGB and R titled one).
If you know of a solution for this, please let me know but in the mean time I (think) I have a working solution.
