Would someone be able to help me deploy my hugo site to Netlify?

A lot of things are wrong!

You just need to read the errors.


As the error says:

9:19:19 PM: ERROR: 2017/10/19 11:19:19 hugo.go:346: No ‘baseurl’ set in configuration or as a flag. Features like page menus will not work without one.

You are missing a baseurl in you config.toml. You can either specify the baseurl in there, or put it directly in the Netlify Build command as hugo --baseURL=https://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/.


Also using plain hugo uses an archaic hugo version… version 0.17 as in the below error.

9:19:19 PM: ERROR: 2017/10/19 11:19:19 hugo.go:421: Current theme does not support Hugo version 0.17. Minimum version required is 0.25

Instead, set the hugo version to the latest in Netlify by setting the HUGO_VERSION to 0.30.2 or the latest version in Netlify App.

Below error is related because that old hugo version does not understand now.

Hey @kaushalmodi!

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m not familiar in the slightest with deployment and all that digital goodness, so I struggled to understand what those errors actually mean.

I’ve added in a baseURL to the config.toml file per the deploy URL: https://general-manager-chipmunk-77848.netlify.com/. I’ve also added the HUGO_VERSION variable to the build variables, and set it to 0.30.2 per your suggestion.

Cheers, and thank you so much :heart:
