Hi All,
Completely new to Hugo and need a bit of help on a portfolio website I am making-- https://graphicblond.com/
It’s on the the ‘creative portfolio’ theme-- http://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-creative-portfolio-theme/
The deployed website looks different from what’s displayed on my local host…
I have a feeling it’s the way I’ve arranged my directory…but not sure what it should look like.
Any help would be hugely helpful
Here’s what the front page looks like on local:
vs. live website:
https://graphicblond.com/
Here’s the root–
Here’s public folder–
Any help would be appreciated, just to steer me in the right direction!
Thanks!
The basic reason is because all your styles sheets and JavaScript files aren’t being generated into your public folder.
Are you building it without the theme?
What is the content of your config.toml file?
Hey @JoshArcher,
Thanks for the reply!
I’m building with the theme-- creative portfolio.
Here is the config file contents–
baseurl = "https://graphicblond.com/"
title = "Graphic Blond"
theme = "hugo-creative-portfolio-theme"
languageCode = “en-us”
Enable comments by entering your Disqus shortname
disqusShortname = “”
Enable Google Analytics by entering your tracking code
googleAnalytics = “”
[params]
Style options: default (pink), blue, green, pink, red, sea, violet
Use custom.css for your custom styling
style = "pink"
description = "Ping Archbold = Graphic Blond"
copyright = ""
sidebarAbout = [
]

Thanks, that doesn’t clear things up from what I can see.
When you run hugo
in the terminal/prompt or whatever it’s called on Windows to build the site, what is the output?
If you can’t copy and paste the output from the prompt, I think on Windows you can redirect the output to a text file by using hugo > C:\Users\jbloggs\log.txt 2>&1
where C:\users\jbloggs
is the path to your home directory.
Hey @JoshArcher,
Thanks for waiting-- this is what I get:
C:\Users\Ping Archbold>cd desktop
C:\Users\Ping Archbold\Desktop>cd graphicblond.com
C:\Users\Ping Archbold\Desktop\graphicblond.com>hugo

@blueboy907 Can you point me to a repo for this?
Hey @rdwatters
Sry, I’m pretty new to this… I’m trying to push to Gitlab but having some trouble.
I’ll try to get it for you… just have to figure it out. Or if you know of another way to show the repo
All the files right now are on my desktop…
I might be doing this wrong, so any guidance will be super helpful!
