I’ve set the `baseURL: somesite.com`

In my layout I have:

```auto
{{ range where .RegularPages "Section" "blog" }}
    <h3>
      <a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" class="title">{{ .Title }}</a>
    </h3>
{{ end }}

```

But, this produces:

```auto
<h3>
  <a href="somesite.com/blog/post/" class="title">Post title</a>
</h3>

```

I expected it to be:

```auto
<h3>
  <a href="../blog/post/" class="title">Post title</a>
</h3>

```

Any suggestions why this happens?

Hi there you can try to set `relativeURLs` in your site config as `true`

> **[URL Management](https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/#relative-urls)**

> Hugo supports permalinks, aliases, link canonicalization, and multiple options for handling relative vs absolute URLs.

I have them set to `true`, but that doesn’t help.
