I just updated my personal site to use Hugo and everything looks fine on deploy except one of my content sections. The “droppin-dimes” section shows a 404 not found error on my website. I’ve been aligning versions, checking for syntax errors, etc., for an hour and can’t seem to figure this out. Any …

[image] Look at the published URL in the bottom right corner. It conflicts with your new site. If I were you I would clone the old repo locally, then delete the repo on GH.

This is something very strange on the GitHub Pages side. I cloned your site and stood up a GitHub Pages site. I added some debugging to the workflow: run: | hugo \ --gc \ --minify \ --baseURL "${{ steps.pages.outputs.base_url }}/" find…

thank you for reminding me of some basic debugging steps! i need to remember that i can execute shell commands in these workflows to get stuff. it’s very odd indeed. at first i thought i must’ve left a syntax error somewhere that’s causing the link generated to break, but i couldn’t find anything. …

Did it work before you added the custom domain name? I’d go back to that point and make sure everything’s working. One thing I noticed in your templates is that you do this kind of thing a lot: <a href="/the-strays"> Hardcoding URLs isn’t a great idea, because what they’re relative to might chang…

the-strays and droppin-dimes actually used to be their own repos and i decided to move them into my gh user site repo for simplicity (or so I thought). they each worked in their own repos and had subdomains at my custom URL. I’ll try updating to use relative urls and then removing the custom domain…

[image] bobtart41: droppin-dimes Did you turn off the Pages feature on those old repos?

i did for droppin dimes not too long ago! but that didnt seem to do the trick. i just did the same for the-strays and removed the DNS records as well

I’m pretty sure the problem is the presence of the droppin-dimes repository. If you set a custom domain for a user or organization site, by default, the same custom domain will be used for all project sites owned by the same account. See GH docs . https://www.johnwmathena.com/droppin-dimes Does…

well i did unpublish the droppin dimes repository and remove the custom DNS record, so I think it would point the jmathena1 directory at this point. i’m not sure how to confirm that. the other thing I’m noticing is the droppin-dimes page does not have a final / at the end of its URL like the-strays …

that did it! many thanks @jmooring ! it was a pleasure spending this Friday evening debugging with you
